Time to Capture a Moving Target Travelling along a Circular Trajectory

This study measured the time it took to select a target moving along a circular trajectory with a computer mouse. The time was changed according to the speed of the target, the width of target and the distance from the starting point to the...

Accuracy Analysis of Convergence Monitoring in Twin-tube Shield Tunnels Using Mobile Laser Scanning

[Objective] Mobile 3D laser scanning technology is widely applied in single-tube tunnel monitoring due to its excellent measurement efficiency and high accuracy. However, the application of this technology for deformation monitoring in twin...

Transportation Engineering

The shipments were absolutely necessary at all times, but still have polluted and damaged the environment. The technique of transport or the engineering of transport is the application of the principles of technology and scientific findings...

Enhanced Satellite Monitoring of Dryland Vegetation Water Potential Through Multi‐Source Sensor Fusion

Abstract Drylands are critical in regulating global carbon sequestration, but the resiliency of these semi‐arid shrub, grassland and forest systems is under threat from global warming and intensifying water stress. We used synergistic satel...

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers

Abstract Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and determined their characteristics across 86 debris‐c...

Searching for galaxy cluster-scale strong lenses from the DESI legacy imaging surveys

IntroductionGalaxy cluster-scale strong gravitational lensing systems are rare yet valuable tools for investigating dark matter and dark energy, as well as providing the opportunity to study the distant universe at flux levels and spatial r...

ICESat‐2 Pointing Calibration and Geolocation Performance

Abstract ICESat‐2 science requirements are dependent on the accurate real‐time pointing control (i.e., geolocation control) and postprocessed geolocation knowledge of the laser altimeter surface returns. Prelaunch pointing alignment errors ...

The Concept of the Geotourism Potential and Its Practical Application: A Case Study of the Prządki (the Spinners) Nature Reserve in the Carpathians, Poland

This paper reviews the recent use of the term “geotourism potential” in the scientific literature and proposes a new approach to the concept of geotourism potential. The concept assumes that every geotourism object has the well-developed fe...

Adsorption Preceding Wetting Front Controls Seismic Velocity

Abstract Rock elasticity varies with both humidity and water saturation, yet their combined effects remain poorly understood, although in nature vapor adsorption and liquid infiltration occur simultaneously. Here, we present experimental da...

ProtoMix: Unified Prototype Learning for Semantic Change Detection in Remote Sensing

As an emerging topic, semantic change detection (SCD) in remote sensing aims to both identify the locations of changes before and after events and determine the land cover (LC) classes of changed regions. While deep learning has demonstrate...

Test of ocean tide loading models on the basis of strain data measured at the Vyhne Tidal Station, Slovakia

Tidal strain time series recorded at the Vyhne Tidal Station are used to test thirteen different ocean tide loading models. Ten models have been calculated using SPOTL: EOT11a, HAMTIDE11a, OSU.TPXO72atlas, OSU.TPXO72, TPX070, DTU10, CSR4.0,...

Solar‐Wind Triggering of Substorm Onset During the May 2024 Superstorm: Coordinated Global Observations and Simulations

Abstract Substorms are often described by a loading‐unloading cycle, where onset follows gradual accumulation of solar wind magnetic flux in the magnetosphere. Yet observations indicate that intense substorms can also be directly driven, th...

Comparison between electrical resistivity tomography and tunnel seismic prediction 303 methods for detecting the water zone ahead of the tunnel face: A case study

In deep tunnels with hydro-geological conditions, it is paramount to investigate the geological structure of the region before excavating a tunnel; otherwise, unanticipated accidents may cause serious damage and delay the project. The purpo...

Integration of remote sensing and geophysics in geological mapping of southern block of Chitradurga Schist Belt areas in upstream Cauvery basin, Western Dharwar Craton, Karnataka

We present mapping and comparision of the geology of the southern block of the Chitradurga schist belt (CSB). We have used ASTER images and geophysical data to compare the geology. Consequently, present study confirms how remote sensing int...

New Occurrence of Seifertite and Stishovite in Chang’E‐5 Regolith

Abstract High‐pressure minerals in impact ejecta quantify shock conditions and provide clues for provenance analysis. The sampling site of Chang’E‐5 may contain distal ejecta, which is critical for constraining the impact events and interpr...

Seismic Monitoring in Severo-Kurilsk Before and After the July 29 (30), 2025 Earthquake Based on Data from an Engineering Seismometric Station

In April 2024, an engineering seismometric station was installed in a residential building in Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island, Sakhalin Oblast) to obtain information about the vibrations of structures and adjacent ground areas during eart...

长白山天池火山地热系统

长白山天池火山是晚新生代中心喷发式复合型层状火山，全新世以来发生过多次大规模喷发，与深部岩浆热扰动活动相关的构造地震、地表形变、温泉气体组份等均显示该火山仍可能再次喷发，是我国东部潜在的高温地热资源区。长白山天池火山周边地下水十分丰富，具有形成高温水热活动的岩浆囊热源。为探索地壳浅层隐伏的高温地热资源，本文在野外考察基础上，利用地热学方法，计算了该区地层结构与热状态，分析了地表下的火山地热系统。结果表明：长白山天池火山区地下2 km深处的温度在66—110℃之间，12 km深...
