Abstract. Multiple-point statistics (MPS) has shown promise in representing complicated subsurface structures. For a practical three-dimensional (3-D) application, however, one of the critical issues is difficulty obtaining credible 3-D training image. However, bidimensional (2-D) images are often available because established workflows exist to derive 2-D sections from scattered boreholes and/or other samples. In this work, we propose locality-based MPS approach reconstruct geological...
Recent studies of extreme precipitation and flood events affecting the Alpine area in northern Italy have revealed that besides local contribution due to evaporation from Mediterranean Sea, a relevant amount moisture may move remote areas towards within long narrow filament-shaped structures, known as atmospheric rivers.High-resolution numerical simulations demonstrated presence an intense river, whether coming Africa tropical or Atlantic, represented distinguishing aspect those events,...
Sand lenses at various spatial scales are recognized to add heterogeneity glacial sediments. They have high hydraulic conductivities relative the surrounding till matrix and may affect advective transport of water contaminants in clayey settings. were investigated on outcrops producing binary images geological cross-sections capturing size, shape distribution individual features. occur as elongated, anisotropic geobodies that vary size extent. Besides, sand show strong non-stationary...
Geological structures are by nature inaccessible to direct observation. This can cause difficulties in applications where a spatially explicit representation of such is required, particular when modelling fluid migration geological formations. An increasing trend recent years has been use analogs palliate this lack knowledge, i.e., exploiting the spatial information from sites geology accessible (outcrops, quarry sites) and transferring observed properties study site deemed geologically...
In this manuscript, we compare and discuss different frameworks for hydrogeological uncertainty analysis. Since is a property of knowledge, base comparison on purely epistemological concepts. detailed between candidates, make the case Bayesianism, i.e., framework reasoning about using probability theory. We motivate use Bayesian tools, shortly explain properties inference, prediction decision identify most pressing current challenges framework. hydrogeology, these are derivation prior...
We demonstrate the need for better representations of aquifer architecture to understand hydraulic connectivity and manage groundwater allocations ∼140 m-thick alluvial sequences in Lower Namoi Catchment, Australia. In 1980s, an analysis palynological hydrograph data resulted a simple three-layer stratigraphic/hydrostratigraphic representation system, consisting unconfined overlying two semi-confined aquifers. present 278 borehole lithological logs within catchment show that stratigraphy is...
Abstract We develop a stochastic approach to construct channelized 3‐D geological models constrained borehole measurements as well interpretation. The methodology is based on simple 2‐D geologist‐provided sketches of fluvial depositional elements, which are extruded in the 3rd dimension. Multiple‐point geostatistics (MPS) used impair horizontal variability structures by introducing geometrical transformation parameters. provided geologist elementary training images, whose statistical...
An accurate and high-resolution mapping of soil properties allows optimizing the management irrigation fertilization at field scale by applying variable amounts water nutrients. Site-specific (SSM) is fundamental to improve crop yield use resources more efficiently, improving environmental sustainability. Adoption site-specific practices requires delineation in subregions with similar affecting (site-specific units (SSMU)). It common practice characterize spatial variability through...
The first case of Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Italy was detected on February the 20 th Lombardy region. Since that date, has been most affected Italian region by epidemic, and its healthcare system underwent a severe overload during outbreak. From public health point view, therefore, it is fundamental to provide services with tools can reveal possible new stress periods certain time anticipation, which main aim present study. Moreover, sequence law decrees face epidemic large amount news...
Modeling flow and transport in porous media requires the management of complexities related both to physical processes subsurface heterogeneity. A thorough approach needs a great number spatially-distributed phenomenological parameters, which are seldom measured field. For instance, modeling phreatic aquifer under high water extraction rates is very challenging, because it simulation variably-saturated flow. 3D steady groundwater modeled with YAGMod (yet another model), model based on...
