Satellite-based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been used by the Geoscience community for many years to obtain ground deformation measurements of large-scale spatial features. Researchers have also begun applying InSAR to detect small-scale spatial features …
The East Java Basin has a geological life span of more than 50 Ma, with a diverse structural and stratigraphic development history. The basin originated during the Eocene on continental crust and developed northeast to southwest trending linear paleo-highs at its inception. Thes…
This thesis addresses the need for high-resolution subsidence maps of major world river deltas. Driven by a combination of rising water, sediment compaction, and reduced sediment supply due to damming and flood control, many deltas are sinking relative to sea level. A lack of da…
The Trenchless Technology (TT) is defined as a family of methods used to install, renew, replace or renovate new pipe/box or existing pipe/box underground with little or no surface disruption. TT is divided into two main categories including Trenchless Construction Methods (TCMs…
The Nile Delta is home to around 75 million people and most of Egypt's farmland and agricultural production. This area is currently threatened by Mediterranean Sea waters due to factors such as sediment starvation, climate change, and sea level fluctuations as well as subsidence…
In this research I revealed evidence for two buried soils in the Aceh Province, Sumatra. I focused on the litho- and biostratigraphy of the lower buried soil, which is indicative of coseismic subsidence from a paleoearthquake estimated to have occurred ca. 6500-7000 years BP. Ap…
An improved numerical procedure based on the nonlinear finite element method is developed to predict ground subsidence caused by underground mining. The following features are emphasized: (i) an appropriate constitutive model to accurately describe the nonlinear behavior of the …
