Investigating Sediment and Velocity Distribution Profiles for Nubia Lake Using RS/GIS and Field Data
Abstract Monitoring the changes provides the decision maker with sufficient information to manage the storage capacity of the lake. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to detect the changes in AHDL bed surface profiles in the period 2000-2012...

Reservoir leakage along concentric faults in the Southern North Sea: Implications for the deployment of CCS and EOR techniques
Abstract High-quality 3D seismic and borehole data in the Broad Fourteens Basin, Southern North Sea, is used to investigate newly recognised concentric faults formed in salt-withdrawal basins flanking reactivated salt structures. Throw-depth and...

A prediction method of natural gas hydrate formation in deepwater gas well and its application
Abstract To prevent the deposition of natural gas hydrate in deepwater gas well, the hydrate formation area in wellbore must be predicted. Herein, by comparing four prediction methods of temperature in pipe with field data and comparing five...

Effects of climate changes on dust aerosol over East Asia from RegCM3
Abstract In order to understand impacts of global warming on dust aerosol over East Asia, a regional climate model (RegCM3) coupled with a dust model is employed to simulate the present (1991–2000, following the observed concentration of the...

How does drainage alter the hydrology of shallow degraded peatlands across multiple spatial scales?
Abstract Shallow, degraded peatlands differ in both their structure and function from deeper, peatland ecosystems. Previous work has shown that shallow, drained peatlands demonstrate rapid storm runoff that is only minimally controlled by antecedent ...

Hybrid Computational Steering for Dynamic Data-driven Application Systems
Abstract We consider steering of Dynamic Data-Driven Application Systems from two sources, firstly from dynamic data and secondly via human intervention to change parameters of the system. We propose an architecture for such hybrid steering and...
