BACKGROUND The field of medical geology addresses the relationships between exposure to specific geological characteristics and the development of a range of health problems: for example, long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water can result in the development of skin conditions and cancers. While these relationships are well characterised for some examples, in others there is a lack of un...

groundwater quality characteristics are affected by lithology and geological structure of aquifer formations. this research has studied the groundwater chemical quality of the upper aji-chai basin with regard to different geological formations. using pie and piper diagrams, the researchers analyzed hydro-chemical elements of 47 sample groundwater resources. after determining water type of sampl...

The traditional scope of engineering geology was the application of geology in construction practice, but this has become widened in time to embrace other fields of engineering, environmental concerns and geological hazards. The subject lies at the interface between the observation and description of natural processes associated with the science of geology and the knowledge of numeracy and mate...

Recent research has suggested that changes in temperature and precipitation events due to climate change have had a significant impact on the availability and timing of streamflow. In this study, monthly temperature and precipitation data collected over 29 climate divisions covering the entire Colorado River basin and monthly natural flow data from 29 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gauge locatio...

We have compiled a global geological map of Ganymede that represents the most recent understanding of the satellite based on Galileo mission results. This contribution builds on important previous accomplishments in the study of Ganymede utilizing Voyager data and incorporates the many new discoveries that were brought about by examination of Galileo data. We discuss the material properties of ...

Original scientific paper Mining near the fault structure can easily lead to the fault activity and induce serious geological disasters, posing a serious threat to coal mine safety production. To reveal the surrounding rock activity characteristics induced by near-fault mining, taking Qixing Coal Mine in China as the engineering background, the contrastive analysis of the microseismic events in...

As a provider of geological advice to industry, academia and the public, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has recognised the need to change the way it presents geoscientific information, resulting in the construction of attributed 3D geological models. The need to deliver 3D modelling solutions is of great importance in urban areas, where geological factors play a major role in supporting gr...

Under the background of continuous improvement scale modern petroleum engineering construction in our country, level oilfield development technology has been improved an all-round way, which provides sufficient resources for society. In process development, it is necessary to do a good job analysis geological characteristics reservoir clarify basic reservoir, based on can improve scientific wor...
