CAUSE ANALYSIS OF A FLOOD-CAUSING RAINSTORM PROCESS IN THE MIDDLE REACHES OF THE YANGTZE RIVER
type: item
description: Conventional meteorological observation and 6-hour re-analysis data of NCEP1°×1° were used to analyze the cause of the process from July 18 to 19, 2020. The results showed that the "07.18" process had the characteristics of mixed precipitation, the circulation pattern was double resistance, and the southwest and northeast winds were strongly converging in the middle and low levels, which was conducive to the generation of systematic heavy precipitation. The middle-scale convergence system is at least 3h earlier than the occurrence of heavy precipitation, which can be used as a reference for this kind of weather forecast. The water vapor condition and dynamic condition are good, but the energy condition is general, which is not conducive to the occurrence of short-term heavy precipitation with heavy rain intensity. The rise of the cold air in the boundary layer and its above strong convergence and high altitude strong divergence are one of the main reasons for the occurrence of this heavy precipitation. In addition, the MPV center has a good indication of the rainstorm center.

INVESTIGATION OF THE ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY AND INDUCED POLARISATION RESPONSE OVER A SIMULATED MINERAL TARGET USIING POLE-DIPOLE CONFIGURATION
type: item
description: A geophysical investigation was carried out in parts of Oye-Ekiti, to delineate and characterize the response of simulated mineral target in the area. Induced polarization (IP) and electrical resistivity (2D) were employed in this study. This research used a model tank experiment to stimulate, measure, and analyze data acquisition. The interpretation was carried out using Dipro software and statistical techniques to assess the accuracy of the pole configuration in defining mineral zones. The IP data revealed a number of subsurface zones with high real component current density which define the potential subsurface structural features (fractures/ faults zones) with possible kaolinite zone. The results from the geo-electric imaging models reveal a heterogeneous nature of mineralisation within zone of high resistivity (low conductivity) that may represent kaolin bearing quartzite vein. The 2D section of the kaolinated showed regions of both high and low conductivity with values that ranged from -100 to 74.9 Ω-1m-1 with structural trends in the NE-SW direction. The results from this research will serve as a future reference for other researchers who may wish to embark on a similar research in the mineralized zone and also help enlighten mining investors on the mineral potentials of the area.

DISTRIBUTION CHARACTERISTICS ANALYSES AND TREND PREDICTION OF GEO-HAZARDS IN EARTHQUAKE ZONES: THE CASE OF XIAOJIAGOU WATERSHED IN WENCHUAN EARTHQUAKE AREA
type: item
description: This paper uses Xiaojiagou in Yingxiu Town as the research object to study the evolution of the material sources in the debris flow basin in the strong earthquake area and predict the characteristics of its washout scale. It does this by using the four-phase high-definition remote sensing imagery and DEM data collected, combining them with ArcGIS technology, to carry out a detailed decipherment of the avalanches and sliders in the basin of Xiaojiagou, and using statistical analysis to derive the evolution law of the material sources and the characteristics of the material sources in the years following the earthquake. The next three to five years will continue to show a decaying trend and finally reach a stable state under the condition of no external force like strong rainfall. According to the field investigation, the ditch still has many channel sources and a small number of landslide sources. Additionally, the ditch's geomorphology makes it more likely that hydrodynamic conditions will form under the downcutting and erosion of earthquakes, flash floods, and debris flows, which in turn causes the initiation of sources and, to some extent, lowers the critical rainfall intensity of debris flow outbreaks. As a result, there is still a chance that debris flows may occur because of persistently heavy rainfall, and early warning, prevention, and control measures must be strengthened. Research on debris flow activity prediction, prevention, and early warning should be intensified. The debris flow in Xiaojiagou would partially silt the river but not completely block it under 5% and 2% rainfall frequency conditions, according to the results of a simulation of the outflow characteristics of the debris flow using the FLO-2D software. Under 1% rainfall frequency conditions, however, the debris flow would completely block the river.

MINERALOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BIOTITE MONZOGRANITE AND ASSOCIATED ION-ADSORPTION RARE EARTH ELEMENT DEPOSIT AT BAN NAM AO, HOUAPHANH PROVINCE, LAOS
type: item
description: Ion-adsorption-type rare earth element (REE) deposits represent a dominant resource in China. In-depth research on these deposits is crucial for enhancing the security of China's critical metal resources. Laos, a key country along the "Belt and Road" initiative, is rich in mineral resources, with significant discoveries including iron, gold, copper, lead-zinc, bauxite, and potash. In recent years, Laos has made substantial progress in REE exploration, identifying numerous deposits with development potential, among which REEs constitute a vital component. This study focuses on the weathering crust profile and fresh biotite monzogranite from the Ban Nam Ao ion-adsorption-type REE deposit in Houaphanh Province, Laos. Whole-rock major and trace element analyses, mineral composition determinations, and zircon U-Pb geochronology were conducted to elucidate the geochemical characteristics of the parent rock, its mineralogical features, and the enrichment behavior of REEs within the weathering crust. The zircon U-Pb age of the biotite monzogranite is (246.5 ± 0.59) Ma. The Ban Nam Ao granite exhibits high SiO 2 (average 69.07%), Al 2 O 3 , and K 2 O contents, with an average Rittmann index of 1.5, classifying it as a calc-alkaline magmatic rock. The biotite monzogranite is characterized by high total REE concentrations and abundant easily decomposable REE-bearing minerals, making it an excellent source for ion-adsorption-type REE mineralization. Within the weathering profile, REE concentrations are generally elevated from the topsoil to the completely weathered layer and semi-weathered layer, with the highest REE enrichment observed at the transition zone between the completely and semi-weathered layers.

MACHINE LEARNING-DRIVEN HIGH-THROUGHPUT SCREENING OF CATALYST CANDIDATES FOR CO2 HYDROGENATION
type: item
description: The escalating levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, primarily due to human activities, pose significant challenges to global climate stability. CO2 hydrogenation emerges as a promising technology to mitigate these emissions by converting CO2 into valuable hydrocarbons and fuels, thus providing a sustainable energy pathway. Catalysts are essential for enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of this process; however, the discovery of effective catalysts is complicated by the vast array of potential materials and the intricate interactions that influence catalytic performance. Traditional methods of catalyst screening are often laborious and resource-intensive, necessitating innovative approaches to expedite the discovery process. This paper explores the integration of machine learning (ML) techniques into high-throughput screening (HTS) methodologies to facilitate the rapid evaluation of thousands of catalyst candidates for CO2 hydrogenation. By leveraging ML algorithms, we can analyze extensive datasets, identify performance patterns, and prioritize promising candidates for experimental validation. The findings demonstrate that ML-driven HTS not only accelerates catalyst discovery but also optimizes resource utilization, paving the way for more efficient solutions to combat CO2 emissions.

DAM SITE SUITABILITY MAPPING USING GIS-BASED DAM SUITABILITY STREAM MODEL ‘DSSM’: A CASE STUDY ON THE ARGHISTAN WATERSHED IN HELMAND MAJOR BASIN, AFGHANISTAN
type: item
description: Suitable dam site selection is an essential or very important task in water resource management. The southern zone of Afghanistan is one of those areas that faces many Dam-related problems, such as hydroelectric power, agricultural products, low water table or less recreational activity. At the same time, the economy of this area is largely based on agriculture. Therefore, to solve these problems we should construct more dams at different areas, because dams can serve and solve these problems. This study used six influencing factors (Stream Order “Distance to Stream”, Slope, Geology, Land use/cover, Soil and Digital Elevation Model DEM) in conjunction with Dam Suitability Stream Model DSSM as Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), to generate dam site suitability map of the Arghistan watershed, which is located in the Helmand major basin along Paktika, Ghazni, Zabul, and Kandahar provinces of Afghanistan. Each influencing factor in DSSM is weighted using Analytical Hierarchy Process AHP, before being subjected to two-time overlay analysis in Geographical Information System (ArcGIS 10.7.1) platform. 1 st where Stream Order is considered as the main parameter to create suitability on the stream map. 2 nd as a counterpart of Stream Order, the Distance to Streams layer is utilized to create an overall suitability map. Four kinds of suitability’s are visualized in each of the resulting maps, such as “Not, less, moderate, or high suitable”. By storing water for various local or regional applications the planned dam sites will lower the risk of flooding and provide hydroelectric power. Additionally, using the reservoir’s stored water for farming.

APPLICATION OF ENSEMBLE LEARNING IN ADAPTIVE SURFACE MODELING OF SOIL TOTAL POTASSIUM CONTENT IN COMPLEX LANDFORM AREAS
type: item
description: The spatial distribution of soil properties is affected by complex geological environmental factors, and the spatial differentiation characteristics are very obvious. It is difficult to achieve high-precision simulation using a single global interpolation model to simulate soil properties. For the characteristics of spatial discontinuity, limited accuracy of global interpolation models and poor adaptability, this paper proposes an adaptive surface modeling method of soil properties (ASM-SP) supported by ensemble learning and integrating geoscientific environmental variables. Using 110 sample point data collected in 2013, regression kriging (RK), Bayesian kriging (BK), ordinary kriging interpolation (OK), inverse distance weighting (IDW), ASM- SP, the total potassium content of soil was interpolated in Qinghai Lake complex landform type area. This article uses the point-by-point cross validation (LOOCV) interpolation method to simulate accuracy. The results show that ASM-SP not only takes into account the nonlinear relationship between geological environmental variables and soil properties, but also integrates the adaptability advantages of multiple models. It is a new method to achieve high-precision simulation of total soil potassium content in complex landform areas.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENTRAINMENT RATE AND SUMMER MONSOON DYNAMICS IN THE EASTERN NORTHWEST MONSOON TRANSITION REGION
type: item
description: The entrainment rate refers to the ratio of the surrounding air mass to the air mass involved in the rising unit distance, including turbulent entrainment and dynamic entrainment. It is applied to the boundary layer parameterization of convective clouds, numerical model improvement, and observation of cloud droplet spectrum dispersion and tropical cyclone studies. Using the high-altitude intensive observation data at 07:00 and 19:00 every day from May to September 2006 to September 2016 in the monsoon transition zone in the northwestern part of Minqin, Yuzhong, Pingliang, Yinchuan, and Yan'an, combined with the daily observation data on the ground, calculate the entrainment rate at different heights, and obtain the relationship between entrainment rate and height, monsoon precipitation and monsoon in different regions. The results show that: ① The entrainment rate is directly proportional to air temperature and saturated water vapor pressure, but inversely proportional to relative humidity. The relative humidity threshold of clouds is 65%. The higher the relative humidity threshold, the lower the cloud heights of different magnitudes of precipitation, and the cloud heights increase with the increase of rainfall. ② There are obvious early-night changes and regional differences in the entrainment rate: from the surface to 3 km, at 07 o'clock is significantly smaller than at 19 o'clock, the near-surface layer weakens with increasing altitude, and increases with altitude above 500 m; from small to large is the monsoon affected area, monsoon swing area and non-monsoon area, there is no obvious regional difference above 3 km. ③ The entrainment rate is closely related to the intensity and nature of precipitation: the entrainment rate decreases with the increase of rain intensity from near the ground to below 600m, but increases with the increase of rain intensity from 500m to 2-3 km; Stable precipitation below has strong entrainment, while convective precipitation above ha…

FACTORS CONTROLLING SANDSTONE RESERVOIR PROPERTIES OF CRETACEOUS NAHR UMR FORMATION IN HALFAYA OILFIELD, IRAQ
type: item
description: Based on core observation and casting thin section identification, combined with physical properties, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, mercury intrusion experiment, etc., the physical properties and controlling factors of sandstone reservoirs in the Cretaceous Nahr Umr Formation in Halfaya Oilfield, Iraq were discussed.. The results show that the tidal-controlled delta facies sandstone reservoirs in the B member of the Cretaceous Nahr Umr Formation in the Halfaya Oilfield have the physical properties of medium pores and medium permeability. The pore types are mainly intergranular pores and dissolution pores, and the pore throats vary greatly. Strong homogeneity; the controlling factors of reservoir physical properties include sedimentation and diagenesis. Sedimentation affects the type of pore space and pore structure. Reservoirs with good physical properties are developed in areas with strong hydrodynamic conditions and good rock component structure characteristics. In the reservoir, diagenesis has significantly modified the physical properties of the reservoir. The compaction and cementation have caused a large number of pores to be filled. The authigenic minerals and clay minerals not only reduce the pore space, but also cause the pore throat to be blocked and the physical properties to deteriorate., and the secondary pores produced by dissolution improve the physical properties of the reservoir; the best quality reservoirs are developed in the cross-bedding sandstone of tidal-controlled distributary channel facies, which have large particle size, good sorting, high relative content of quartz, The characteristics of low clay mineral content, low cement content, well-developed pores, and large pore throat radius correspond to medium-high porosity and high permeability, which is the focus of reservoir characterization and modeling in the study area.

LITHOFACIES TYPES AND RESERVOIR DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS OF CONTINENTAL SHALE IN THE ZILIUJING FORMATION IN NORTHEAST SICHUAN BASIN
type: item
description: The potential of continental shale gas resources in China is huge, and the Lower Jurassic in some parts of northeastern Sichuan has obtained industrial shale gas flow. Carrying out research on shale lithofacies division and reservoir characteristics is conducive to further exploration and development of continental shale gas. The continental shale of the Ziliujing Formation in the Northeast Sichuan Basin was carefully studied by XRD, ordinary thin section, scanning electron microscope, high-pressure mercury intrusion, N2 adsorption and CO2 adsorption. The shale is divided into 12 different lithofacies by taking the abundance of organic matter and mineral composition as classification parameters, and it is found that the shale of the Ziliujing Formation mainly develops four kinds of lithofacies, namely organic-poor siliceous shale (Ⅰ3), mixed organic matter shale (Ⅳ2), organic siliceous shale (Ⅰ2) and organic-rich clay shale (Ⅱ1). The characteristics of shale reservoirs of different lithofacies are quite different. Organic matter-rich clay shale has an organic matter content of more than 2%, the best hydrocarbon generation potential, good connectivity between organic matter pores and intercrystalline pores of clay minerals, and a relatively small specific surface area. Large and well-developed laminar structure is conducive to industrial fracturing, and is the optimal continental shale lithofacies, and is the most favorable target for exploration and development of continental shale gas; organic matter-containing mixed shale (Ⅳ2) has an organic matter content greater than 1 %, higher pore volume, better gas storage capacity, and the development of layered structures that are conducive to fracturing, it is a good continental shale lithofacies, which is a more favorable target for exploration and development; while the organic-poor siliceous shale (Ⅰ 3) and organic-containing siliceous shale (Ⅰ2) are massive, with low pore volume and specific surface area. They are poo…
