A new review traces nearly a century of rock mechanics research and argues that modern geoenergy and geological storage systems require predictive, system-level frameworks rather than descriptive interpretation. From Quarry Cracks to Deep Geoenergy: A Century of Rock Mechanics Revisited…
“A light earthquake occurred at 5:01:11 AM (PDT) on Wednesday, October 28, 2026,” the agencies said in their report, hosted by the Southern California Earthquake Data Center. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake was centered about 6 miles north of Lake…
A 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck Lake County in Northern California on Wednesday morning, with its epicenter located near Lake Pillsbury, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The seismic event occurred approximately 6 miles north of Lake Pillsbury at a depth of roughly 6.5 miles,…
An earthquake has rattled Northern California‘s Lake County on Wednesday morning. The quake came in at 4.0 on the magnitude scale with its epicenter near Lake Pillsbury. The earthquake was located about 6 miles north of Lake Pillsbury with a depth…
The Yellowstone Geology Team removed more than 20,100 pieces of trash from the park's hydrothermal areas this year Some of these items included over 280 hats, five AirPods, three Delta flight pins, an inhaler, three golf tees and an Uno card Yellowstone…
This study evaluates the current-injection transient electromagnetic method (CITEM) driven by a pulsed current to identify seepage-related anomalies in earth–rock embankment dams. We used a theoretical model of a seepage channel under injected-current excitation to derive complementary localization features…
Fifteen volunteers spent two days in the 2022 cleaning campaign of Lehman Caves at Great Basin National Park, using blacklights to spot lint and fibres left behind by visitors. The National Park Service says they also removed mud, gum, dirt and…
Three of our research groups are working on research related to induced seismicity and the geologic environment. (Brown et al., JGR, 2017). Based on Brown's research who is part of the Sheehan group. Other ways to search: Research - Geologic Environment Three…
Controlled laboratory experiments found that surrounding conditions most strongly influenced acoustic emission attenuation in metal waveguides, followed by tube diameter and then wall thickness. Acoustic emission signals generally attenuated exponentially as propagation distance increased through metal waveguide tubes in controlled…
More than 20,000 pieces of garbage have been collected from hydrothermal areas in Yellowstone National Park. This removal aims to prevent foreign materials from harming the sensitive environments of thermal pools. Additionally, nearly 10,000 rocks and sticks were also taken as they…
