One of the beach protection techniques is using natural methods based on the coastal ecosystem. Studies show the reducing effect of forest covers on wave destruction intensity in different areas. However, it is not yet well understood how various densities of terrestrial coastal forest (TCF) affect the wave attenuation and reduce their strength. Studying the impact of various forest parameters, such...
The travel time of ambient noise cross-correlation is widely used in geophysics, but traditional methods for picking the travel time of correlation are either difficult to be applied to data with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or make some assumptions which fail to be achieved in many realistic situations, or require a lot of complex calculations. Here, we present a neural network based on convolutional...
In this study, an interactive analysis combined measurements of surface radiogenic heat production (RHP) and sub-surface heat flow data to predict the crustal thermal regime of the area. The radioactive decay of 40 K, 232Th and 238U radionuclides in combination with other processes generate a significant quantity of heat within the earth’s crust which can be utilized to produce green energy. Statistical...
