Using airborne LiDAR and enhanced-geolocated GEDI metrics to map structural traits over a Mediterranean forestZenodo by Aaron Cardenas-Martinez, Adrian Pascual, Emilia Guisado-Pintado, Victor Rodriguez-Galiano

“…We used two sources of 3D-structural metrics, LiDAR point clouds and full-waveform space-borne LiDAR from GEDI to estimate forest structure in a protected area of Southern Spain, home of relict species in jeopardy due to recent extreme water-stress conditions. We locally calibrated GEDI spaceborne measurements using discrete point clouds collected by Airborne Laser Scanner (ALS) to adjust the geolocation of GEDI waveform metrics and to predict GEDI structural traits such as canopy height, foliage height diversity or leaf area index. …”

Compressibility characteristics and modification effect of coal reservoirs in Longtan Formation, Nanchuan area, southeast Chongqing by Jinxian LIU, Tao GUO, Yatong ZHOU, Dongyang LI, Xiaobo JIN

“…Mudstone roof plates with high clay mineral content are brittle, prone to fracturing, and susceptible to swelling upon water contact, which are the major causes for spalling risks and impact horizontal well drilling rate. (4) Irregular natural fractures can lead to fracture propagation and fracture height control failure, while regular fractures that align with the direction of maximum principal stress facilitate artificial fracture propagation and contribute to effective reservoir modification.…”
