The article addresses the issue of clustering of multidimensional data arrays with a noise using the methods of discrete mathematical analysis (DMA clustering). The theory of DMA clustering through the logical densities calculus is detailed, and the new algorithm Linear Discrete Perfect Sets (LDPS) is described. The main objective of the LDPS algorithm is to identify linearly stretched anomalies in a multidimensional array of geo-spatial data (geophysical fields, geochemistry, satellite images, local topography, maps of recent crustal movements, seismic monitoring data, etc.). These types of anomalies are associated with tectonic structures in the upper part of the Earth’s crust and pose the biggest threat for integrity of the isolation properties of the geological environment, including in regions of high-level radioactive waste disposal. The main advantage of the LDPS algorithm as compared to other cluster analysis algorithms that may be used in arrays with a noise is that it is more focused on searching for clusters that are linear. The LDPS algorithm can apply not only in the analysis of spatial natural objects and fields but also to elongated lineament structures.

This article describes the methodological aspects and some results of the assessment and prediction of the geodynamic stability of the geological environment as applied to the problem of ensuring the safety of underground isolation of high-level radioactive waste (HLRW) in the geological formations of the Nizhnekansky massif, Krasnoyarsk Region. For this, the authors introduced a basic concept of the stability of the geological environment. Based on instrumental observations, mathematical models, system analysis of geospatial data, the ranking of structural tectonic blocks according to the degree of stability and the geodynamic zoning of the northern part of the Nizhnekansky massif were implemented. To assess the stability, the authors used geological data, a digital elevation model, the results of the interpretation of geophysical fields and geodetic observations. It is shown that the stability of the blocks differs significantly according to kinematic parameters. Geodetic observations based on GPS/GLONASS satellite systems, carried out in 2010-2019, made it possible to obtain for the first time information on the rates of horizontal movements of the lithosphere and their cyclicity for the region located in the zone of force interaction of the largest tectonic structures, namely, Siberian platform, West Siberian plate and the Altai-Sayan Orogen. The maximum speeds were recorded for points located in the zone of dynamic influence of the Muratovsky and Pravoberezhny faults. The energy concentration criteria as the fracturability characteristics of structural rock blocks are proposed for the stress–strain analysis of rock mass. To substantiate the long-term geodynamic safety of deep disposals of HLRW of the 1st and 2nd classes, the authors developed a program for the long-term observations of differentiated movements in the earth’s crust and seismic activity for 2021–2026 in an underground research laboratory. The study was carried out under the state contract between the Geophysical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

Abstract Fifteen years of regional monitoring by the New England Seismic Network indicated a locally high level of seismicity near South Sebec, between the towns of Milo and Dover-Foxcroft in central Maine. Most of the events were located in a diffuse zone south of the distinctive, ENE trending Harriman Pond Fault (HPF) which is indicated by brittle deformation in outcrop and is represented as a depression in topographic maps and satellite images. A portable network consisting of both digital and analog instruments was deployed during the summers of 1989 and 1990 in order to characterize the pattern of the microearthquakes and to determine high-resolution epicenters, depths, and fault plane solutions. Seventy-three events were detected during the experiment, of which 28 could be located. Many of the events south of the fault lie along a NNW trending line which has no major expression in the surface geology. Only, a few of the events are subparallel to the HPF. The first motion data were insufficient for the determination of any fault plane solutions.

Current plans for high-level radioactive waste disposal call for long term emplacement of canisters of a suitably leach resistant waste form in deep underground repositories. Proposed regulations [11] call for canisters with a designed lifetime of 1000 years. After this initial period, most of the remaining activity in the waste will be associated with the actinide elements. Thus, the leach behavior of the actinides takes on special importance. In particular, the leaching mechanisms must be understood if we are to attach any confidence to long term predictive extrapolation of short term leach tests. The actinides, unlike the rare earths, are not particularly similar in chemical behavior nor is their behavior reliably modeled by that of other elements. Thus, more studies directed toward the behavior of the actinides in candidate waste forms are important.

The determination of natural radionuclide concentrations plays an important role for assuring public health and in the estimation of the radiological hazards. This is especially true for high level radiation areas. In this study, 226Ra, 228Ra and 238U concentrations were measured in well waters surrounding eight of the high-level natural radiation areas in northern Vietnam. The 226Ra, 228Ra and 238U activity concentrations vary from <1.2 × 10−3–2.7 (0.46), <2.6 × 10−3–0.43 (0.07) and <38 × 10−3–5.32 Bq/L (0.50 of median), respectively. 226Ra and 238U isotopes in most areas are in equilibrium, except for the DT-Thai Nguyen area. The calculated radiological hazard indices are generally higher than WHO (World Health Organization) recommendations. Average annual effective dose and excess lifetime cancer risk values due to drinking well water range from to 130 to 540 μSv/year and 7.4 × 10−6 to 3.1 × 10−5, respectively.

AbstractThis article demonstrates the construction of earthquake and volcano damage indices using publicly available remote sensing sources and data on the physical characteristics of events. For earthquakes we use peak ground motion maps in conjunction with building type fragility curves to construct a local damage indicator. For volcanoes we employ volcanic ash data as a proxy for local damages. Both indices are then spatially aggregated by taking local economic exposure into account by assessing nightlight intensity derived from satellite images. We demonstrate the use of these indices with a case study of Indonesia, a country frequently exposed to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The results show that the indices capture the areas with the highest damage, and we provide overviews of the modeled aggregated damage for all provinces and districts in Indonesia for the time period 2004 to 2014. The indices were constructed using a combination of software programs—ArcGIS/Python, Matlab, and Stata. We also outline what potential freeware alternatives exist. Finally, for each index we highlight the assumptions and limitations that a potential practitioner needs to be aware of.
