We are concerned with the time series resulting from the computed local horizontal geoelectric field, obtained with the aid of a 1-D layered Earth model based on local geomagnetic field measurements, for the full solar magnetic cycle of 1996-2019, covering the two consecutive solar activity cycles 23 and 24. To our best knowledge, for the first time, the roughness of severe geomagnetic storms is considered by using a monofractal time series analysis of the Earth electric field. We show that during severe geomagnetic storms the Katz fractal dimension of the geoelectric field grows rapidly.

The combined application of direct current (DC) resistivity and induced polarization (IP) methods, referred to as combined DCIP method, has gained popularity for characterizing the critical zone dynamic processes such as dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) spreading at contaminated sites. Large-scale DCIP surveys typically require considerable durations, necessitating optimized survey designs to enhance survey resolution while controlling time and labor costs. However, to date, approaches to optimize geoelectrical survey design have focused solely on DC applications, and the efficiency of optimized survey designs for combined DCIP is yet to be investigated.

We present a study on the dynamical variations of geoelectric fields E during the intense geomagnetic storm of April 23-24, 2023. The storm is caused by the interplanetary counterpart of a coronal mass ejection erupted from the Sun in association with an M1.7 X-ray flare.

This research provides a comprehensive examination of flood risk mitigation in Saudi Arabia, with a focus on Wadi Al-Laith. It highlights the critical importance of addressing flood risks in arid regions, given their profound impact on communities, infrastructure, and the economy. Analysis of morphometric parameters ((drainage density (Dd), stream frequency (Fs), drainage intensity (Di), and infiltration number (If)) reveals a complex hydrological landscape, indicating elevated flood risk.

This study introduces a rapid and efficient inversion algorithm designed for the interpretation of self-potential responses originating from mineralized and ore sources and hydrothermal activity, specifically addressing spherical, vertical, and horizontal cylindrical structures. The algorithm leverages local wavenumber and correlation imaging techniques to enhance accuracy in modeling. The correlation factor (C value) is crucial in this approach, calculated as the correlation between the local wavenumber of the measured self-potential field and that of the computed field.

In order to investigate the seepage law and crack development characteristics of dump slopes, as well as the impact on slope stability during drying and wetting cycles, a simulation test slope system was constructed in a rainfall environment, specifically designed to mimic the engineering conditions of dump slope. The apparent resistivity response formula for the seepage and crack development processes was derived based on the three-phase medium theory of rock-soil bodies and Maxwell's conductivity formula. The geoelectric field characteristics pertaining to slope damage and the corresponding patterns of alteration were comprehensively investigated.
