Grounded-source transient electromagnetic method (TEM) has many advantages such as deep exploration, flexible arrangement in rough terrain and high working efficiency. Recently it has got much attention and a series of new methods are available, ranging from surface to airborne and borehole method. In this paper, the authors review the research history of long-offset TEM (LOTEM), short-offset TEM (SOTEM), multi-channel TEM(MTEM), grounded-source semi-airborne TEM and grounded-source surface to borehole TEM, and summarize their research status in forward modeling, system design, inversion, imaging and field working. The results show that, as a well-developed grounded-source TEM, LOTEM has accumulated many research achievements. Although some progress has been made, the researches on other grounded-source TEMs are still in a primary stage and still need further improvement. Valuable research results in LOTEM, for example, noise suppression technology, high dimensional inversion and point interpretation, can be introduced to these newly developed electromagnetic methods, which can help provide solutions for high working efficiency and high resolution deep exploration.

There is a lack of selection bases in the geochemical anomaly identification and the reconstruction of the geochemical background conforming to the metallogenic distribution using deep learning algorithms with different network structures. Given this, based on the 1∶200 000 stream sediment data of the copper-zinc-silver metallogenic area in southwestern Fujian Province, this study extracted the combined structural characteristics, spatial distribution characteristics, and mixed characteristics of multiple elements in the samples using three unsupervised deep learning models, i.e., AE, MCAE, and FCAE. Then, these characteristics were used to reconstruct the geochemical background and simulate the metallogenic distribution. The results show that the anomaly areas delineated by the FCAE model were the most consistent with the known copper ore occurrences, followed by the MCAE and AE models. The FCAE, MCAE, and AE models had an area under the curve (AUC) score of 0.80, 0.78, and 0.61, respectively. Moreover, the FCAE and AE models were not sensitive to the change in the convolution window size. These results indicate that when deep learning algorithms are constructed for geochemical anomaly identification, the algorithms based on the extraction of spatial distribution characteristics or mixed characteristics perform well, and those based on the extraction of combined structural characteristics or mixed characteristics have a strong anti-interference ability for the noise caused by the change or inconsistency of the spatial observation scale. This study provides some effective selection bases for constructing geochemical anomaly identification models based on deep learning algorithms.

A soil gas radon survey was performed on a large scale to determine the distribution of radon in soil of Zhuhai City in Guangdong Province by means of a portable radon monitor of a semiconductor alpha spectroscopy. The survey sampled 469 sites covering an area of more than 100 km². The average of soil radon concentration in the soil depth of 0.6 m is 55.94 ± 58.54 kBq/m³ in Zhuhai urban area, whereas the concentration is 7.14±8.75, 37.64±25.92, and 151.25±196.23 kBq/m³ in the Quaternary sediments, the mixtures of sediments and weathered grain of granite, and the weathered granite in Doumen District, respectively. The high radon potential areas are located within biotitic granites and new industrial districts, as indicated by the strong correlation between the radioactivity level and geological lithology. The mean value of soil gas radon concentration in Zhuhai urban area (ZUA) is about ten times as high as that in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Jinjing City. The results show that Zhuhai area has higher radon potential, and hence protective measures against radon should be taken into account.

As resource exploration deepens and becomes increasingly difficult,improving the imaging precision and the reservoir prediction accuracy under a complex tectonic setting has become a top priority of research.The full waveform inversion (FWI) method developed in recent years can be applied to complex geological structures.This method can reveal structural details in a complex geological setting using the dynamic and kinematic information in the pre-stack seismic wave field.However,this method involves many research elements such as model parameterization,building of inverse error function,data preprocessing,numerical simulation of wavelengths,and wavelet estimation.Thus,its development is bound to be a long-term gradual improvement process.The FWI method has been applied to actual observation data with the development of theory and computer technology.This study introduced the principle and processing flow of the FWI method and summarized its development history and its application status in marine and onshore seismic data,and deep seismic reflection data.Accordingly, this study presented the current application bottlenecks,data processing difficulties, and challenges of deep-crustal inversion imaging for subsequent research and application of the FWI method.

Huize County of Yunnan Province is situated in the karst area in southwestern China, where karst groundwater is its primary water source. To conquer local difficulties in drinking water, this study constructed a conceptual model of groundwater occurrence by fully investigating the hydrogeological conditions of the Huize area. Moreover, this study evaluated the applicability and optimal combination of geophysical methods based on the measurement results of petrophysical properties. According to the actual local needs, this study deployed a comprehensive profile combining high-density electrical resistivity tomography (HDERT) and audio magnetotellurics (AMT) in Tuogu Village, Huize County. The groundwater enrichment site was delineated relying on resistivity anomalies, effectively guiding the layout of boreholes. The boreholes achieved the maximum single-borehole water yield of 20.76 m³/d, thus effectively alleviating the local drinking water problem. The HDERT-AMT combined exploration method proves to be optimal for prospecting for groundwater in carbonate rock areas. HDERT can accurately characterize weathered layer thicknesses, bedrock boundaries, fissure evolutionary degrees, and water-bearing properties of strata, constraining groundwater recharge channels, thus counteracting AMT's defects for identification of near-surface stratigraphic structures. AMT can accurately reflect the spatial structures of fracture zones and the macrostructures of strata, limiting the boundary conditions (aquicludes) of water-bearing structures, thus making up for the defects of insufficient detection depths of HDERT in high-resistivity stratigraphic regions. HDERT and AMT, which are complementary to each other in terms of accuracy and depth, can be applied to identify and constrain the spatial occurrence conditions of groundwater migration, storage, and enrichment.

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology, one of the most advanced sound field detection technologies, can achieve distributed, long-distance, and high-precision real-time detection of the ambient vibration and sound field information interacting with optical fiber. The optical fiber exploration system of the DAS technology solves the problems of high cost and deployment difficulty of conventional geophones in complex geological environments. In recent years, the DAS technology has experienced rapid development, especially in monitoring application scenarios that require long-term and large-scale deployment. However, its systematic understanding is insufficient due to divergent research results. To further understand the research advances of the DAS technology in geophysical exploration for more effective subsequent research, this study systematically classified and summarized the development history of the DAS technology and its recent research results in geophysical exploration based on the oil and gas, marine, and environmental engineering application scenarios through literature research. This study focused on the development process of the DAS technology in different directions, the research advances in data processing, and relevant literature with specific results. Finally, this study generalized the development trend and urgent problems of the DAS acquisition system, analyzing the DAS development prospect.

With the change of season, the physical parameters in the process of freezing and thawing in active layer of seasonal frozen soil region change significantly. Taking the seasonal frozen soil in Northeast China as an example, the authors used the Gaussian distribution rough surfaces to simulate the rough freezing and melting layers, established the random media model which can accurately described heterogeneity of the active layers, and carried out forward modeling. The results show that the depth of freezing and melting layers changes with the seasons, together with the change of permittivity and conductivity. The scattered waves in radar profile are very developed because of the heterogeneous active layer and the undulating freezing and melting layers. With the change of time, the greater the fluctuation of the melting layer, the stronger the scattered wave energy in the radar profile, the harder the reflection of the melting and the freezing layers. At the same time, it is proved that the application of GPR to monitor the seasonal variation, frozen depth and melting depth of seasonal frozen soil is a practical method.

The artificial source electromagnetic method is an important technique for deep resource exploration. The key challenge is to improve the depth and precision of detection through innovative technology. The detection mode of electromagnetic methods is evolving from far-field to near-field, and the study of near-source electromagnetic methods has become an international research frontier in recent years. Building on the recent advancements in wide-field electromagnetic methods and multi-channel transient electromagnetic methods, the short-offset transient electromagnetic method (SOTEM) has been further developed and proposed. The distinguishing features of SOTEM are its stronger signals and wider bandwidth, which are advantageous for achieving the detection requirements of greater depth and higher precision. This special issue presents eight articles covering the methods, techniques, software, and applications of SOTEM, providing strong support for the growing need for high-resolution subsurface detection.

Studying the occurrence of natural gas hydrates (NGHs) is of profound significance for NGH exploration. The evaluation of the NGH saturation mainly relies on the Archie equation using the electrical parameters of rocks. The key to accurately calculating the NGH saturation is to select corresponding values of rock electrical parameters for different geological environments, especially the porosity index (m) and the saturation index (n). However, it is still a challenge to select the optimal m and n values for NGH evaluation in resistivity logging. To ascertain the relevant resistivity regularity of NGHs and the determination method of rock electrical parameter values in the Archie equation, this study systematically reviewed relevant references and summarized the resistivity influencing factors of NGHs. Moreover, this study analyzed the influencing factors for the accurate evaluation of the NGH saturation based on the Archie equation. Accordingly, this study generalized the resistivity characteristics of NGH-bearing sediments and proposed the application research direction of the Archie equation.

Ji'nan possesses highly abundant geothermal resources, which are hosted by Ordovician-Cambrian karst-fissured geothermal reservoirs and Neogene-Paleogene clastic pore-fissure geothermal reservoirs. The geothermal exploration in this study focuses on the Ordovician-Cambrian karst fissured geothermal reservoirs in Daqiao Town in northern Ji'nan. Through geophysical profile measurements, this study aims to identify the distributions of strata and fault structures and the burial depths of geothermal reservoirs, infer the attitudes and spatial morphologies of fault structures associated with heat control and conduction, delineate the target area for geothermal well construction, and conduct drilling verification in the favorable underground water-rich position. Building on the collected data, this study interpreted and inferred the fault structures in the study area and comparatively analyzed the water-bearing properties by employing direct-current sounding, controlled source audio magnetotellurics, and magnetotelluric survey. A geothermal exploration and production combined well was constructed in a favorable position of the geothermal target area, manifesting a completion depth of 1 532.06 m, a static-water burial depth of 13.03 m, a wellhead water temperature of 50.1 ℃, a water yield of 132.998 m³/h, and a dropdown depth of 18.27 m.

Since individual geophysical exploration methods suffer the multiplicity of solutions, comprehensive geophysical prospecting has been extensively applied in deep ore prospecting presently. This study conducted the geological exploration of the Duhu porphyry copper deposit in Xinxing County using multiple geophysical methods such as high-precision magnetic survey and controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT). It was inferred that the CSAMT-derived medium-low resistivity anomalies and the low-gentle anomalies derived from the high-precision magnetic survey serve as significant prospecting indicators. Satisfactory results were achieved in follow-up verification of the anomalies. Specifically, copper, molybdenum, silver, and gold mineralized bodies with a cumulative thickness of 178.2 m were identified in a 1 000 m deep borehole, with the highest copper grade of 1.45%. The application of comprehensive geophysical prospecting holds great significance in guiding the exploration of porphyry copper deposits in western Guangdong.

The phase difference (i.e., time difference) and amplitude difference between the geomagnetic data of the offshore work area and the geomagnetic diurnal variation data of the remote stations are still challenges to the precision of the marine magnetic survey network. Based on the stations on both sides of the East China Sea and three stations in Europe at higher latitudes, this study analyzed and made statistics on the numerical differences in morphological characteristics, phase differences, and amplitude differences of the diurnal variation curves during the daytime, nighttime, and the periods of intense magnetic disturbance. The results are as follows. During the daytime, the phase difference between the stations is constantly changing, resulting in a large amplitude difference around noon. During the nighttime, the data of the stations have consistent phases, and the amplitude difference is mostly less than 4 nT. During strong magnetic disturbance activities such as magnetic storms, the phases of the stations are consistent, and the amplitude difference is even smaller than that during quiet days. According to the survey data of the ocean, the absolute value of the difference at intersections between the survey lines during magnetic storms and quiet days is less than 3.2 nT. The variation characteristics of the phase difference and amplitude difference of the geomagnetic diurnal data between stations facilitate the diurnal variation correction of the marine geomagnetic data.

In this paper, recent advances in the research and development of quantum magnetometers have been described together with some suggestions on further research work.

Significant aeromagnetic and gravity anomalies were found in the ultra-deep coverage zone of the Pandian area in the northwestern Shandong Province. Through systematic verification of gravity and magnetic anomalies, a breakthrough in prospecting for deep skarn iron deposits has been achieved through several boreholes around the Pandian gravity-magnetic anomaly zone. However, the gravity-magnetic anomaly zone spreads extensively and its characteristics cannot directly indicate the prospecting target, thus some boreholes failed to find ores or revealed poor ore-finding conditions. Hence, to accurately delineate the ore-forming location in the gravity-magnetic anomaly zone and achieve a further breakthrough in ore prospecting, this study conducted the wide-field electromagnetic (WFEM) sounding in the verified Pandian gravity-magnetic anomaly zone. Combining the drilling verification, this study delineated the deep ore-forming interval of skarn iron deposits in the deep coverage zone and the favorable structural plane for ore-forming, suggesting the deep fine-scale prospecting targets.

Southern China boasts great potential for normal-pressure shale gas resources,with distribution areas primarily including the peripheral complex structural areas and the extrabasinal fold belts of the Sichuan Basin.These areas exhibit intricate surface and subsurface geological conditions,leading to poor seismic acquisition quality,low imaging accuracy,and unclear varying patterns of sweet spot parameters.This study systematically summarized the research achievements and technical advances in the seismic acquisition,image processing,and reservoir prediction for normal-pressure shale gas in southeastern Chongqing,including:①The development of variable-density 3D observation system design technique and the seismic excitation and reception technique for complex mountains with limestone surfaces,ensuring sufficient sampling of the reflected wave field in complex subsurface structures and improving data quality and construction efficiency;②The optimization of prestack seismic preprocessing technique for complex mountains,imaging techniques for complex structures in basin-margin transition zones, and imaging techniques for synclinal structures in extrabasinal fold belts,achieving resulting profiles with high signal-to-noise ratios,wide effective frequency bands,and high structural imaging accuracy;③The quantitative prediction of the thickness,formation pressure coefficient,and brittleness of high-quality shales based on research on petrophysical characteristics;the quantitative prediction of the organic carbon content,gas content,and porosity of shales based on statistical petrophysics;the quantitative prediction of fractures formed due to the superimposed effect of multi-stage structural modifications based on the paleo-stress field evolution revealed using the finite element simulation technique;and the ascertainment of the distribution patterns of the current in-situ stress field using the current stress field prediction technique developed using the combined spring model.The above breakthroughs have effectively guided the sweet spot prediction,exploration,and production of normal-pressure shale gas,providing a basis for the discovery of the Nanchuan normal-pressure shale gas field.Subsequent research should focus on more scientific and reasonable seismic acquisition techniques based on seismic reception using 5G wireless nodes,high-precision automatic image processing technologies for high-steep structures in complex mountains,and integrated geology-engineering-economy seismic evaluation methods for sweet spots.

As a method for effectively reducing the velocity model of the subsurface media,seismic tomography provides a reliable initial velocity model for full waveform inversion.The finite frequency characteristics of seismic wave propagation are realized from primitive ray toe to phase shift travel time tomography and instantaneous travel time tomography.From the acoustic wave equation to the elastic wave equation and from the isotropic medium to the VTI,TTI media,the simulation of the real underground medium is realized.The morbidity of mitigating tomographic inversion has also been a research hotspot.The commonly used methods have regularization,and the sensitive nucleus of Gaussian beam tomography has replaced the traditional ray-sensitive nucleus.Furthermore,in order to avoid the dependence of the accuracy of the imaging results on the true depth of the reflection bits on the common imaging gather,the angular domain double differential reflection tomography can converge stably and efficiently to the accurate migration velocity model.At present,tomography is gradually transitional to anisotropic media,data used are transitional from VSP to WVSP,and a single waveform is developed into multiple waveforms combined inversion.However,problems related to resolution and computational efficiency still require attention.

Underground cavities with shallow burial and small scale are difficult to detect. With the development of gravity sensing technology, the accurate and rapid acquisition of micro-gravity variations brings new opportunities for detecting underground cavities, and it has wide research and practical value for the detection of small-scale underground cavities. This paper systematically analyzes and studies underground cavities from three aspects: gravity basic theory, gravity detection technology, and gravity data processing and inversion. Under given body size and gravity data accuracy, the maximum burial depth of gravity detection is calculated using the bisection method. High-density acquisition and high-precision gravity detection methods are applied to the actual detection of an underground pedestrian tunnel in a certain area of a passenger station. A set of high-precision gravity grid data is obtained. The theoretical research and measurement results indicate that existing gravity instruments have the ability to detect underground cavities. By using the minimum curvature potential field separation method, 2.5D interactive inversion and the target area recognition three-dimensional physical property fast inversion method, the approximate SN distribution and burial depth of the underground pedestrian tunnel are obtained, which is approximately 2.5~5 m, consistent with the actual situation. This study has developed a complete gravity exploration process for detecting underground cavities, and it has certain reference value.

It is more difficult to predict the low porosity and low permeability tight reservoir than to predict the regular reservoir.The authors therefore tentatively applied kernel principal component analysis and support vector machine,called KPCA-SVM model,to solve this problem.Through the polynomial kernel function of the KPCA,the model can obtain the nonlinear feature extraction.Then the Gaussian kernel function in the SVM is chosen to perform optimization again.Finally,reservoir identification is implemented in the SVM.As the model incorporates the advantages of kernel function,principal component analysis and support vector classification,it can better solve the problem of nonlinear small sample,eliminate the noise of the data and reduce the dimension without missing valid information.In addition,it can achieve the prediction function quickly and accurately.The model was employed to predict the reservoir in x856 well block,which belongs to Xu2 member gas reservoir of the Xinchang gas field.The prediction results show the superiority of this model,which can be used as an optional method in tight reservoir prediction.

The development of gold deposits in the Liaodong region is considered to be controlled by the superimposed detachment fault zone of the metamorphic core complex system. The traditional view holds that the thickness of the cap rocks of the Yongning Formation in the Yongning Basin can exceed thousands of meters, thus hindering the migration of ore-bearing fluids and the formation of large-scale metal deposits. The exploration of deposits in the Liaodong region has remained within a depth of 1 km due to limited exploration efforts and insufficient research. This study obtained the resistivity distribution characteristics within a depth of 3 km in the Zhengtun area using the wide-field electromagnetic method (WFEM), ascertaining that the thickness of the cap rocks in the Liaodong region is around 1 km, in sharp contrast to the extremely thick cap rocks in the Yongning Formation. As verified by the 2 km deep drilling, an unconformable contact between the Yongning Formation and the underlying Archean basement was observed at a hole depth of 1 345 m, without significant structural detachment near the boundary. This study demonstrates that the thickness of the cap rocks in the Yongning Basin is merely around 1 km. Considering multistage active fault structures and densely distributed hypabyssal rock vein swarms in the area, it is preliminarily determined that the geological setting for mineralization in the Yongning Basin is akin to that of the Jiaodong gold ore concentration area. The ore-bearing metamorphic fluids or magmatic-hydrothermal fluids might have migrated to the upper part of the boundary for mineralization during the destruction of the North China craton. Overall, the Liaodong region has the potential to achieve breakthroughs in polymetallic prospecting, and the WFEM pinpoints the deep mineralization prediction.

To improve the detection level of municipal roads for rapid and effective municipal road collapse warning and rapid search for municipal pipe network distribution, the 22^nd Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation designed and developed real-time three-dimensional ground-penetrating radar (3D GPR). With the real-time 3D GPR, which is based on the architecture of field programmable gate array and digital signal processor (FPGA&DSP), the institute achieved the design and implementation of several key technologies for the multi-channel high-speed acquisition system, enriching the road detection techniques and methods. The real-time 3D GPR enables high-speed acquisition of ten-channel radar data using the horizontally polarized antennae equipped with five transmitters and six receivers. The channels can be switched using high-speed switches, which operate in an interactive interpolation manner. The 3D GPR allows for up to 32 channels and detection speeds of above 60 km/h (channel interval: 2 cm). This is attributed to the switching of the antenna array using switches. The optimum antenna polarization design was verified by the comparison of experimental data from cavity- and metal-plate-based experimental sites. As a result, the optimal antenna scheme was determined. The measured results show that, compared to general LTD-2600 radar, the real-time 3D GPR boasts a higher acquisition speed and higher performance in terms of amplitude and phase, conducive to the improvement of road disaster detection technologies. Therefore, there is high market demand for the real-time 3D GPR.

The eastern Kunlun metallogenic belt, as a significant metal metallogenic belt in China, hosts extensive orogenic gold deposits and large-scale Kunlunhe, Gouli, and Wulonggou gold concentration areas. The Dachaigou gold deposit is a large-scale gold deposit newly discovered in the Wulonggou gold field in recent years. Despite its high metallogenic potential, the western extension of its ore belt has not been defined. Hence, this study conducted induced polarization (IP) sounding and wide-field electromagnetic sounding in the deposit. The results show that the known ore belt is situated in the regional gravity anomaly gradient zone, the transition zone of positive and negative weak magnetic anomalies, the edge of IP anomalies, or the electrical gradient zone. The development zone of the regional tectonic belt resides in the large-scale IP anomaly section. The regional tectonic belt is characterized by a wide range of low-resistivity anomaly zones. The IV and III alteration zones of the known ore belt are located in the opening position of the low-resistivity anomaly zone and the shallow electrical anomaly gradient zone, respectively. Based on the above understanding and the electromagnetic anomaly change patterns of several parallel profiles in the western extension segment, it was inferred that the regional ore-controlling structure extends steadily in the W-NWW direction, forming a favorable prospecting space in the western extension segment of the deposit. The results of deep geophysical exploration in the Dachaigou deposit indicate that geophysical methods manifest significant advantages in deep geological prospecting research, providing successful experience for deep prospecting in the eastern Kunlun gold deposit area.

The phase-shift method is commonly used to extract the Rayleigh wave dispersion curves.However,in the case of a complex wave field,the dispersion spectra calculated using the phase-shift method have a low resolution of Rayleigh wave dispersion energy,reducing the accuracy of the dispersion curves.This study improved the phase-shift method by obtaining the power exponent of the amplitude of each point on the dispersion spectra to improve the convergence and focusing properties of the dispersion energy.The improved phase-shift method was used to process the simulated data of the theoretical stratigraphic model and the actual seismic data of a coalfield in a certain study area.The processing results were compared with the dispersion spectra generated using the conventional phase-shift method.Moreover,the inversion based on dispersion curves of the actual data was conducted to generate a two-dimensional (2D) S-wave velocity section of the study area.As revealed by the study results,the improved phase-shift method can enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the Rayleigh wave signals in the frequency-velocity domain and improve the resolution of the dispersion energy spectra and the accuracy of the dispersion curves.
