Evaluation of a discrete fracture network model from fractured outcrop analogues
We describe a procedure which links multiple scale fracture observations to 3-D Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model simulations. The rationale of the study is to construct realistic DFN models using input data collected at specific scales of analysis; the resultant DFN model is used to predict fracture geometries at intermediate scales, and these predictions are…

Improving particulate carbon loss estimates in eroding peatlands through the use of terrestrial laser scanning
Blanket bogs act as the largest terrestrial store of carbon within the UK. Unfortunately many are degraded with exacerbated erosion being common. Although considerable efforts have been made to quantify carbon fluxes across blanket bogs, less attention has focussed on quantifying losses associated with erosion. Traditional approaches to measuring erosion have relied on erosion pins…

Implementation of Digital Outcrop Models for Subsurface Extrapolation: A Pilot study in the San Jacinto Belt, Colombia
The prediction of reservoir architectures in frontier basins such as the Colombian Offshore has high uncertainty, because in these basins quantitative assessment has to be done with limited and dispersed information. The available seismic data is normally 2D, making the detailed delineation of reservoir geometries very challenging. A possible solution to this problem is the…
