Can tectonism or neo-tectonism be considered as a factor that can initiate or propagate deep gullies?

Just thinking aloud!Most deep gully erosion sites in southestern Nigeria seem to be located in a zone that is approximately in a straight line. Similarly, their trends seem to be mostly in the...

What exactly is the advantage of the dipole-dipole array over other electrical resistivity arrays?

Since there are several arrays, with the Schlumberger and Wenner mostly used, I wish to know if there is any special application of the dipole-dipole array.

What is the best method to approach the effect of leachate contamination of groundwater from an open solid dump-site?

Some shallow water boreholes penetrated in clean sands that are close to a dumpsite were observed to have some black precipitous sediments.

What is the possible interpretation of measured negative resistance values?

I went to the field with two different resistivity meters (OHMEGA and ABEM Terrameter SAS 4000) and recorded negative resistance values from a particular subsurface interval.

How can one solve the problem of ''blind zone'' in seismics? How can one know of a blind zone in advance?

Sometimes in geophysics and seismic method in particular, some very thin layers may not be detected from seismic surveys leading to wrong geological interpretations.

Are there any known pitfalls associated with contaminant migration pathways in groundwater using MODFLOW/MODPATH?

I am currently working on contaminant migration from an unprotected municipal dumpsite. I hope to carry out both forward and inverse modelling of the lechate for a minimum of 25 years. Are there...
