Study on the Evolution of Water Gushing and Mud Bursting Process in Karst Tunnel by LEI Pengbo, XU Zhong, WANG Kunyun, HU Diyong, YANG Zhu, WANG Mengfei

“…With overall consideration of the influence of geological structure,hydrologic features, andconstruction,this paper abstractly generalizes the evolution of water gushing and mud burstingprocess in karst tunnel into four stages as follows:①The formation stage of karst geologicalenvironment provides geological conditions for the development and evolution of disaster-causingstructures;②The expansion stage of karst water system channel provides space for the storage andflow of water gushing and mud bursting; ③The critical state formation stage of karst watergushing and mud bursting is mainly affected by the disaster-causing mud & water body and theartificial excavation of tunnels; ④The energy release and depressurization stage of karst watergushing and mud bursting is the end of the whole process, indicating that the disaster hasoccurred.Based on case analysis,the water gushing and mud bursting in karst tunnel is divided into 11types in 3 classes according to different factors as follows: geological structure class (faulttype, syncline type, anticline type, lithology interface type), water gushing channel class(fracture type, pipe type, cave type, underground river type), and water gushing and mud burstingclass (water gushing type, mud bursting type, mud and water bursting type).The research results canprovide reference for the research on the control of water gushing and mud bursting in the tunneland the safety construction of the tunnel.…”

Geospatial Data and Deep Learning Expose ESG Risks to Critical Raw Materials Supply: The Case of Lithium by Christopher J. M. Lawley, Marcus Haynes, Bijal Chudasama, Kathryn Goodenough, Toni Eerola, Artem Golev, Steven E. Zhang, Junhyeok Park, Eleonore Lèbre

“…However, for some CRM, the primary drivers of these supply chain disruptions are likely to be issues related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rather than geological scarcity. Herein we combine public geospatial data as mappable proxies for key ESG indicators (e.g., conservation, biodiversity, freshwater, energy, waste, land use, human development, health and safety, and governance) and a global dataset of news events to train and validate three models for predicting “conflict” events (e.g., disputes, protests, violence) that can negatively impact CRM supply chains: (1) a knowledge-driven fuzzy logic model that yields an area under the curve (AUC) for the receiver operating characteristics plot of 0.72 for the entire model; (2) a naïve Bayes model that yields an AUC of 0.81 for the test set; and (3) a deep learning model comprising stacked autoencoders and a feed-forward artificial neural network that yields an AUC of 0.91 for the test set. …”

Study on the Development Characteristics of Ductile Shear Zone andDeformation Response of Slope Excavation in a Hydropower Station by LU Bifeng, DENG Hui, HAO Hao, LI Anrun, LI Wancai

“…The high rock slope on the right bank of a hydropower station on Lancang river, which isto be built, is excavated for nearly 400 m.According to the on-site geological survey, the rockmass of the slope is hard and brittle dacite with strong unloading, and small and medium-sizedfaults developed in the slope.In addition, there are two ductile shear zones that dipping towardto the inside slope in the right bank slope,and mylonization occurs in the shear zone, which leadsto the very complex geological conditions and rock mass structure of the right bank slope. …”

Toward the calibration of 2D thermomechanical simulations of magma poor passive continental margins: method, validation and case example by Perron, Paul, Le Pourhiet, Laetitia, Jourdon, Anthony, Cornu, Tristan, Gout, Claude

“…Introducing heterogeneities into the model does in some cases help to calibrate the simulation results to a geological data from a specific region. Acknowledging structural inheritance as a form of kinematic forcing in the models, and recognizing the challenge of anticipating and identifying all inherited geological structures present before rifting, a new modeling approach was devised. …”
