Earthquakes are the most energetic phenomena in lithosphere: their study and comprehension greatly worth doing because of obvious importance for society. Geosystemics intends to Earth system as a whole, looking at possible couplings among different geo-layers, i.e., from earth’s interior above atmosphere. It uses specific universal tools integrate methods that can be applied multi-parameter data, often taken on platforms (e.g., ground, marine or satellite observations). Its main objective is...
Permafrost in the NE European Russian Arctic is suffering from some of highest degradation rates world. The rising mean annual air temperature causes warming permafrost, increase active layer thickness (ALT), and reduction permafrost extent. These phenomena represent a serious risk for infrastructures human activities. ALT characterization important to estimate degree degradation. We used multidisciplinary approach investigate distribution Khanovey railway station area (close Vorkuta,...
Abstract. The earthquake anomalies associated with the 6 April 2009 Mw 6.3 L'Aquila have been widely reported. Nevertheless, reported not so far synergically analyzed to interpret or prove potential lithosphere–coversphere–atmosphere coupling (LCAC) process. Previous studies on b value (a seismicity parameter from Gutenberg–Richter law) are also insufficient. In this work, spatiotemporal evolution of several hydrothermal parameters related coversphere and atmosphere, including soil moisture,...
Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and resistivity depth sounding surveys were undertaken at two sites located along the Chamelecòn Valley (Honduras). The objective of was to determine occurrence, geometry lithological properties River's shallow paleochannels. Following interpretation aerial photograms which indicated likely presence paleochannels, selected for surveys. soundings used achieve electro-stratigraphic sections obtained by interpolating 1D inverted data that would assist...
Italy has a strong geothermal potential for power generation, although, at present, the only two fields being exploited are Larderello-Travale/Radicondoli and Mt. Amiata in Tyrrhenian pre-Apennine volcanic district of Southern Tuscany. A new target exploration exploitation is represented by submarine district, geologically young basin (Upper Pliocene-Pleistocene) characterised tectonic extension where many seamounts have developed. Heat-flow data from that area show significant anomalies...
Shallow underground electrical and seismic imaging was undertaken at the Pineto (Central Italy) Mud Volcano site using 2D‐3D resistivity tomography (ERT) 2D reflection surveys. This mud volcano or lump (known by local population as "Cenerone Volcano") appears a dome of about 15×10 m in size. The height is approximately 2 with crater 2.5 diameter where emission fluids solids (cold brine, mud, gas) occurs. Upper Pliocene‐Lower Pleistocene foredeep pelitic deposits (clays silty‐sandy levels)...
Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) surveys were undertaken to investigate the Dogger Limestone fractured-karst aquifer at Hydrogeological Experimental Site (HES) of Poitiers, France. Three-dimensional resistivity imaging was obtained from full inversion combined 2D ERT data collected along five parallel 470 m long profiles with a 50 line spacing. A 3D block measuring 515 x 203 in size maximum depth 100 surveyed. occurs ranging between 30 and 120 is overlain by argillaceous limestone....
ERT surveys were undertaken at the Sunceri test site located in city of San Pedro Sula (Honduras). Four deep pumping wells are site, together with 26 shallow and 12 piezometers drilled through alluvial deposits. These deposits 100-150 m thick overlie intrusive low grade metamorphic rocks.

Three-dimensional total porosity blocks of a Dogger Limestone fractured-karst aquifer were obtained at the Hydrogeological Experimental Site Poitiers, France. occurs depth ranging between 30 and 120 m is overlain by argillaceous limestone. Three karst intervals 35-40 m, 85-87 110-115 have been revealed from vertical flowmeter data high-resolution imagery borehole walls. This paper compares 3D seismic resistivity imaging. Reflection survey allowed generating pseudo velocity block. The...

Abstract This study focuses on two weak points of the present procedure to carry out microzoning in near-field areas: (1) Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs), commonly used reference seismic hazard (RSH) assessment; (2) ambient noise measurements define natural frequency near surface soils and bedrock depth. The limitations these approaches will be discussed throughout paper based worldwide Italian experiences performed after 2009 L’Aquila earthquake then confirmed by most recent 2012...
