Evaporite deposition and seafloor spreading are two salient geological processes in the
geological history of the Red Sea. We piece together the available evidence about rift …

Because of the inherent spatial variability of soil properties and the limited number of
boreholes that can be afforded in a typical project, the soil properties at given geotechnical …

Shield tunnel construction has faced considerable challenges due to the uncertain
geological conditions in real scenarios. The borehole data obtained from geological …

Relatively few studies have focused on the geotechnical properties of near-seafloor
(uppermost 10 m) sediments that are encountered during shallow coring or the initial phases …

Natural gas hydrates form under high fluid pressure and low temperature, where biogenic or
thermogenic gases are available. These requirements delimit the distribution of hydrate …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the freezing–thawing process on
soils using elastic waves and electrical resistivity. Sand–silt mixtures with different silt …

Marine sediments retrieved with pressure coring systems such as those used by the
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program maintain samples at in situ hydrostatic pressure …

Stratified water columns are often found in lakes and oceans. Stratifications result from
differences in density due to salt concentration, temperature, solid content and oxygenation …

The development of a new laboratory oedometer cell, which includes bender elements and
an electrical resistance probe, is documented. The apparatus is used to evaluate …

Elastic and electromagnetic waves are commonly used to investigate various soil
characteristics. The goal of this study is to estimate the elastic moduli and the void ratio …
