Analysis of the digital information literacy skills of geoscientists at the Geological Survey of Namibia
… digital information literacy skills and the geoscientists is not evidenced by literature. The purpose of the study was to critically analyse the digital information literacy skills of the geoscientists at the Geological Survey of Namibia at the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The study used the …

Exploring Girl Scouts' self-perceptions as geoscientists using a feminist standpoint lens and transformative mixed methods
Currently in the United States jobs abound in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Yet, women remain an underrepresented demographic both in university STEM degrees and careers. This study sought to understand constraints to the participation of young women in geoscience learning. …

COMMUNITY IMPACTS TO AND FROM GLACIOLOGY: ANALYZING THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON HIMALAYAN MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES WHILE BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF GEOSCIENTISTS
Human activity has undeniably caused the global temperature to rise, and with that rise comes variability and volatility to the climate system. As we face the myriad of environmental alterations that climate change will challenge humanity with, it is becoming increasingly important to turn our …

Reservoir characterization using intelligent seismic inversion
… types of data, which is usually used by geoscientists for structural mapping of the subsurface and making interpretations of the reservoir's facies distribution. Yet, it has been a common aim of geoscientists to incorporate seismic data in high-resolution reservoir description through a …

An Analytical Approach to Automate Stratigraphic Correlation using Well Logging Information
… and time-consuming work process that prevents geoscientists from performing other relevant tasks and becomes a bottleneck to other workflows. With the rapid growth in digital technology, the age of digital transformation becomes a key enabler to automate the correlation by applying the data …

From Wells to Well-Being: Overcoming Challenges for Sustainability in Energy and Geosciences
… with implications for job opportunities for geoscientists and support of the energy sector by the public. The thesis concludes by proposing a practical toolkit for geoscientists and energy organizations who want to become sustainability advocates and use their work to drive societal …

Interoperability between the StraboSpot graph database and GIS software– A Malpais Mesa Use Case
… Systems (GIS) have been used by field geoscientists for decades to digitally collect data with several benefits: observations can be made in the field at a map independent scale while using multiple basemaps, the burdensome task of digitizing handwritten field notes and maps back in the …

The development and application of microanalytical (U-Th)/He thermochronology
… is the foremost tool available to geoscientists for the purposes of constraining the thermal evolution of the crust below 250°C. However, the potential of the technique is far from fully explored. The existing de facto (U-Th)/He age standard, the fluorapatite of Cerro de Mercado …

ENHANCEMENT OF THE GEOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE SCOTIAN BASIN BY THE APPLICATION OF SPECTRAL INVERSION, OFFSHORE NOVA SCOTIA
… seismic resolution. It would be advantageous for geoscientists to image thin beds below resolution, especially those which are of reservoir quality. Frequency information obtained from spectral decomposition is related to the temporal thickness of layers. Spectral inversion uses a priori …

Applied Geochemistry, Geochronology and Biostratigraphy: Case Studies from the 38th Parallel Structures in Missouri and Orange Basin, Offshore Western South Africa
… in Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas, has puzzled geoscientists for decades. Research using palynology (palynomorphs and particulate organic matter) and radiometric dating of impact spherules were used to constrain age and a relationship between these enigmatic structures and infer their …

Effects of Sedimentologic and Stratigraphic Heterogeneity on Production in Carbonate Reservoirs: An Integrated Outcrop, Synthetic Geologic Modeling, and Flow Simulation Study
Most geoscientists recognize, characterize, and understand the many scales and types of heterogeneity in carbonate reservoirs; however, systematic quantitative assessment of the impact of this range of geological variations on production from carbonate reservoirs is rare. To explore and quantify …

Deep learning methods for shear log predictions in the Volve field Norwegian North Sea
… Norwegian North Sea. This thesis will provide geoscientists with a tested deep learning approach to synthesize shear logs on a full field scale data set, and to assist in shear prediction for reservoir characterization applications such as AVO inversion, or geomechanical parameters calculation …

Tomographic Imaging Associated with a Mw 2.6 Fault-Slip Event in a Deep Nickel Mine
One of the biggest challenges facing geoscientists is the ability to accurately predict failure within a rock mass. Conventionally, numerical modeling is performed to predict the response of the rock mass due to excavation. However, numerical modeling relies heavily on the estimated physical …

Hydraulic flow zone unit characterisation and mapping for Australian geological depositional environments
… and subsequent alteration (diagenesis). Geoscientists have traditionally classified rocks according to porosity, grain parameters (size, sorting and distribution) whereas reservoir engineers tend to emphasize the dynamic behaviour of multiphase flow in rock formations (relative …
