In soluble rocks such as limestone and dolostone there are two main types of cave genesis
(speleogenesis);(i) epigenic speleogenesis, in which the aggressiveness that forms caves is …

In Italy, especially along the Apennine Chain, numerous active and inactive sulfuric acid
speleogenetic (SAS) caves have been documented in the last two decades. Here we …

Ascending hydrothermal fluid flow and subsequent hypogene karstification can control the
formation of high-permeability zones in folded or faulted carbonate rocks. This study …

Karst processes are of primary importance for the generation of secondary porosity and
permeability in carbonate reservoirs and aquifers. The topic investigated in this study are the …

This book illustrates the diversity of hypogene speleogenetic processes and void-conduit
patterns depending on variations of the geological environments by presenting regional and …

The present study used a multitool approach to characterize fractures of several orders of
magnitude in large fracture corridors, caves, and canyons to investigate their impact on fluid …

Abstract We present a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)‐based 3D reservoir
simulation framework, GANSim‐3D, where the generator is progressively trained to capture …

Caves developed in carbonate units have a significant role in fluid flow, but most of these
subsurface voids are below seismic resolution. We concentrated our study on four caves to …

Karst systems are hierarchically spatially organized three-dimensional (3D) networks of
conduits behaving as drains for groundwater flow. Recently, geostatistical approaches …

Geological surveys, structural mapping, and thin section analysis helped to unravel the
speleogenesis and water circulation in the Bossea cave (Northern Italy), an unconventional …
