The program 'was designed to augment geological mapping and metalbgenic studies in the wea, conducted by Maclntyre et a / . (1987) and Maclntyre and Desjardins (I9XXa. h, unpublisted data). Their database and geological map were the starting points for the project. Geological mapping of the ncrthern part of the Babine Mountains Recreation Area, which was not included in the previous investi...

Regional scale geological maps are still not available for many remote parts of the Earth. All geological maps contain two fundamental pieces of information: a) lithological data: a list of the various rock types present, and b) structural data: geometrical information that describes the spatial relationships of the various rock units. For the purposes of regional scale geological mapping the s...

1.1 Carbon dioxide sequestration in sub-seabed geological formations is a process consisting of separation of carbon dioxide from industrial and energy-related sources, transport to an offshore geological formation, and long-term isolation from the atmosphere. This process is one option in a portfolio of mitigation actions for stabilization of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations with the ...

The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between geological background and habitats of mushrooms. The study area is Grevena, a Prefecture of Greece well known for the great variety of the fungal flora and its distinctive geology. Thematic maps of the study area were produced with the use of GIS, taking under consideration geological formations, elevation, ecosystems and land use. Fin...

A major geological GIS project: the 1:5 Million International Geological Map of Europe and Adjacent Areas (IGME 5000) is being managed and implemented by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The aims of the project are to develop for the whole of Europe a GIS underpinned by a geological database, a printed map depicting up-to-date and consistent geological informat...

The strength of the oceanic and continental lithosphere has important controls on some of the major geological processes on earth including the operation of plate tectonics and the long-term stability of the continental roots. However, explaining these major geological features from the experimental and theoretical studies on the strength of rocks is challenging and some of the existing models ...

In this paper, we discuss and critique existing hypotheses about the geology of Middle-earth in light of current geological theories of planetary formation, mountain building (orogeny) and plate tectonics. We dispute the prevailing tectonic explanation for the major geological features of Middle-earth and Arda on the basis of evidence as yet not fully considered about the formation of the plane...
