Fieldwork at the Steart managed realignment scheme, Somerset, 5-11 September 2014

In order to monitor the early effects of tidal inundation on the morphology and sedimentology of an artificial creek system, fieldwork was undertaken between the 5th and the 11th of September at the Steart peninsula. Participants to this fieldwork were new G&G postgraduate student Clementine Chirol, responsible for the PhD project on the morphological evolution… Read More Fieldwork at the Steart managed realignment scheme, Somerset, 5-11 September 2014

Water saturation effects on elastic wave attenuation in porous rocks with aligned fractures

A new research paper, recently  published in Geophysical Journal International,  led by G&G post graduate student Kelvin Amalokuw; with colleagues from the universities of Southampton and Edinburgh, and the British Geological Survey: Experimental studies have shown the ratio of P- to S-wave attenuation (Q¬s/Qp ratio) to be more sensitive to gas saturation than the ratio of P-… Read More Water saturation effects on elastic wave attenuation in porous rocks with aligned fractures
