Summary: We conducted an integrated interpretation of available geophysical data (gravity and electrical data) in the Sidi Bou Aouane-Khadhkhadha Pb-Zn province, located in northern Tunisia. The interpretive approach included Fourier transformation, spectral analysis, and edge enhancement techniques to analyze the gravity data and extract potential mineralization targets. Additionally, 3D inversion of resistivity and chargeability data provided insights into the basin architecture and different lithologies and mineralization types. The results revealed potential targets and provided evidence for future geological interpretations and mineral resource evaluations.

Summary: Both hydrological and geophysical data are used to calibrate hillslope hydrologic models, but these data often reflect hydrological dynamics at different spatial scales. The study explores differences in hydraulic parameters and hillslope-scale storage and flux dynamics of models calibrated with different data sets. Results show that different calibration data can significantly affect the predictions of hillslope runoff and internal hydrological dynamics.

Summary: The nature of Yellowstone National Park's plumbing system linking deep thermal fluids to its thermal features is not well understood. Our study provides a detailed view of the pathways of the Yellowstone hydrothermal system using geophysical data. We found that the majority of thermal features are located above high-flux conduits along buried faults capped with clay. Shallow pathways feed groundwater into basins, where it mixes with thermal fluids from vertical conduits. These mixed fluids then emerge at the surface and flow outwards along deeper layers, resulting in the observed geochemical signatures.

Summary: This paper is about a mathematical and computational framework for computing uncertainty quantification in regularized inversions of electromagnetic data. It showcases the practical application of the RTO-TKO sampling algorithm and demonstrates its computational advantages and ability to utilize massive parallelism through case studies of seafloor magnetotelluric (MT) and surface-towed controlled source electromagnetic data inversion. The paper also compares the uncertainty quantification of RTO-TKO with results from trans-dimensional sampling and discusses the practical implications of the findings.

Summary: Thorough and accurate assessment of rock mass units is crucial for the development of engineering infrastructures and groundwater resource assessments. Traditional geotechnical tests suffer from efficiency issues, causing ambiguity in geological models. This research proposes a method using geophysical data and drilling to obtain geomechanical parameters, reducing geological model uncertainty and providing detailed imaging of RQD and RCI. The study fills the gap between inadequate well tests and true geological models, providing new insights for engineering design and groundwater exploitation.

Summary: In this study, a hybrid inversion algorithm that combines parametric and smooth inversion strategies was developed to improve the estimation of subsurface conductivity. Tested on synthetic models, the hybrid inversion showed better resolution of feature boundaries and magnitudes with fewer artifacts compared to the standard smooth inversion. The sensitivity analysis demonstrated successful recovery of subsurface features under different conditions, showcasing the potential of this hybrid inversion strategy in various applications.

Summary: This study demonstrates that viscoelastic SH full-waveform inversion (FWI) with a focus on reflection events can accurately locate cavities, decompacted sediment areas, and seismic low-velocity anomalies. The key to successful FWI application lies in enhancing the reflected wavefield and utilizing automatic gain control normalization. Despite the 3D nature of the problem, applying a 2D FWI approach on intersecting profiles can accurately determine the properties of collapsed tunnel systems.

Summary: In this paper, a wave-based scheme is proposed for the location and quantification of damages in dams. A new cyclic multi-stage full-waveform inversion (FWI) scheme is applied to obtain high-resolution interpretable images of the damaged regions, addressing the stability issues faced by the standard FWI scheme when dealing with ill-posed problems.
