SummaryDecomposing spectral responses in induced polarization on the basis of elementary Debye relaxation kernels with a distribution of time constants (Relaxation Time Distribution) is a powerful tool for analysing observations in this low-frequency electromagnetic method. Notably, it enables the estimation of the sizes of polarisation sites, particularly in the presence of metallic particles, as well as facilitating environmental studies. These decompositions generalise a plethora of historical models, some of which can be considered equivalent to each other in the sense of mathematical equivalence classes. Here, we explicit several types of these equivalence relations, which we recall in their definition in relation to a common property, the elements of a given class belong to a given set. For example, we present a class of models that fall under the same differential equation, meaning this is the class of models that belong to the set of distributions that verify the differential equation. We also exhibit another class of models where we can pass from one to the other by an elementary calculation. Among all the possibilities, a particular class often interests us in IP: RTD classes such as spectra are practically indistinguishable as they are so close according to a defined criterion. In this particular case, we study here the equivalence (or non-equivalence) of certain classical models. We confirm that two models play major roles: the lognormal distribution (because it is the most natural) and the Cole-Cole distribution, which is empirical but also often used for its simplicity (and the associated RTD is analytical, unlike that of the lognormal which requires numerical evaluations). It turns out that these two distributions are equivalent in terms of their quasi-equal spectra, a fact known since Cole and Cole (1941), but whose scope is extended here by an in-depth study of the objective function which separates them in the least squares sense.

Advanced computer models can quantify the impacts of climate change and other environmental challenges, providing deep insights into things like streamflow, vegetation, wildlife and even the risk of wildfires.

Thousands of glaciers will vanish each year in the coming decades, leaving only a fraction standing by the end of the century unless global warming is curbed, a study showed on Monday.

SummaryRegarding the potential impact of groundwater storage changes on principal fault stresses and seismic activity in the North China Plain before and after the implementation of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, this paper constructs a three-dimensional finite element model to calculate stress field variations induced by groundwater level changes from 1959 to 2023. Combined with Coulomb stress change calculations, the study evaluates the influence of groundwater extraction and replenishment processes on the crustal stress field before and after the diversion project. Research findings indicate that between 1959 and 2015, excessive groundwater extraction increased Coulomb stress on major faults across the North China Plain by up to 10 kPa. Following the official operation of the central route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in 2015, groundwater level changes induced fault Coulomb stress changes ranging between -2 kPa and 2 kPa. Consequently, groundwater deficit prior to 2015 promoted regional seismic activity, while groundwater recovery after 2015 exhibited certain mixed effects on seismic activity, resulting from spatial distribution differences in groundwater deficit and replenishment across the North China Plain. This research provides scientific evidence for assessing the potential impact of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project on seismic activity and offers valuable reference for future earthquake risk assessment and groundwater resource management.
