Detailed information about geology, hydrogeology and seismic hazard issues for Umbria region are contained in a spatial database available as open data format (shapefile or KMZ) and distributed under the regional open data portal called Open Data Umbria ( http://dati.umbria.it ) where 297 datasets have been produced by Umbria Region until now and most of them are made by Geological Survey. Geol...

Fossil worm tubes of Cretaceous age preserved in the Bayda massive sulfide deposit of the Samail ophiolite, Oman, are apparently the first documented examples of fossils embedded in massive sulfide deposits from the geologic record. The geologic setting of the Bayda deposit and the distinctive mineralogic and textural features of the fossiliferous samples suggest that the Bayda sulfide deposit ...

This paper describes a prototype system for registering geologic data sets through ontologies to assist in integrating and querying heterogeneous geologic data sets. The system consists of three components: an ontology repository, the data set registration, and ontology-aware applications. User-defined ontologies in OWL are saved and used by the system. Each data set must be registered before i...

Many communities obtain their drinking water from underground sources called aquifers. Official water suppliers or public incorporations drill wells into soil and rock aquifers look‐ ing for groundwater contained there in order to supply the population with drinking water. An aquifer can be defined as a geologic formation that will supply water to a well in enough quantities to make possible th...

The technology follows a sequence of steps: 1) place a confinement template proximal to the disposal structure; 2) drive a primary confinement €I-beam and sheet piling proximal to and below the underground structure and contaminant plume; 3) inject a primary low-cost inorganic polymer below the contaminated geologic media; 4) injectMood the contaminant plume; 5) inject cements and sequestering ...
