There are numerous data and information showing the constant loss of interest of students of different educational levels by the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), especially when deciding the University studies to follow, and hence the shortage of professionals in this job segment. Starting secondary school studies many stude...
Land subsidence associated with overexploitation of aquifers is a hazard that commonly affects large areas worldwide. The Lorca area, located in southeast Spain, has undergone one of the highest subsidence rates in Europe as a direct consequence of long-term aquifer exploitation. Previous studies carried out on the region assumed that the ground de...

Spatial variability of soil properties such as soil structure and soil penetrometer resistance (SPR) is relevant for identifying those zones with physical degradation. We used classical statistical and multifractal analyses for characterising the spatial patterns of SPR distributions and compared them at different soil depths to investigate the til...
The quality of geodetic networks for guiding Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) inside long tunnels depends largely on the correct use of a gyroscope. These networks are based on a series of control points at the tunnel entrance, and link each station by means of survey observations as they advance along the tunnel. Once, the networks are used to guide...
The guiding of TBMs (Tunnel Boring Machines) along their advance must be based on points placed immediately behind them. Achieving good accuracies results would present some difficulties for normal exterior conditions, but inside a tunnel certain factors clouding the outlook arise. The most important and difficult factor to deal with, has to do wit...
El guiado de las Tuneladoras durante su avance debe apoyarse en los puntos determinados inmediatamente detrás de ellas. Conseguir las precisiones requeridas presentaría algunas dificultades en condiciones normales con respecto al exterior, pero en el interior de un túnel se plantean ciertos factores que ensombrecen el panorama. El más importante y...
Soil attributes usually present a high degree of spatial variation due to a combination of physical, chemical, biological
or climatic processes operating at different scales. The quantification and interpretation of such variability is
a key issue for site-specific soil management (Brouder et al., 2001). The usual geostatistical approach studies so...
The study of the many types of natural and manmade cavities in different parts of the world is important to the fields of geology, geophysics, engineering, architectures, agriculture, heritages and landscape.
