Zhou, C. (author), van Nooijen, R.R.P. (author), Kolechkina, A.G. (author)The representation of uncertainty in results is an important aspect of statistical techniques in hydrology and climatology. Hypothesis tests and point estimates are not well suited for this purpose. Other statistical tools, such as confidence curves, are better suited to represent uncertainty. Therefore three parametric methods to construct...journal article 2023

Zhou, F. (author), Giannakis, Iraklis (author), Giannopoulos, Antonios (author), Holliger, Klaus (author), Slob, E.C. (author)In hydrocarbon drilling, mud filtrate penetrates permeable formations and alters the pore fluid characteristics in the immediate vicinity of the borehole. Typically, the prevailing in situ pore fluids are displaced by the invading mud filtrate, which leads to gradually changing distributions of the fluid and electrical properties....journal article 2023

Zhou, Zaiyang (author), Ge, Jianzhong (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Kuai, Y. (author), Ding, Pingxing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Existing knowledge about groyne-induced effects is primarily based on riverine or coastal environments where salinity gradients are absent or limited. However, in estuaries, salinity gradients drive physical processes such as longitudinal and lateral residual flows. The effect of groynes is much more complex because they can modulate channel...journal article 2023
