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...

A wide range of methodologies and software applications have been developed to generate 3-Dimensional (3D) geological model data. One of the main open issues is the exchange of these heterogeneous data from different sources, which influences the sharing and integration of 3D geodata. It is also a necessity to take into consideration the semantics of 3D geological data to enable its full exchan...

Abstract Based on morphobathymetric and seismic reflection data, we studied a large landslide body from the eastern Sea of Marmara (NW Turkey), along main strand North Anatolian Fault, one most seismically active geological structures Earth. Due to its location dimensions, sliding may cause tsunamis in case failure possibly induced by an earthquake. This could affect heavily coasts densely popu...

Three-dimensional (3D) geological models are important representations of the results of regional geological surveys. However, the process of constructing 3D geological models from two-dimensional (2D) geological elements remains difficult and is not necessarily robust. This paper proposes a method of migrating from 2D elements to 3D models. First, the geological interfaces were constructed usi...

Abstract The 6 February 2023 Mw 7.8 Pazarcık and subsequent 7.5 Elbistan earthquakes generated strong ground shaking that resulted in catastrophic human economic loss across south-central Türkiye northwest Syria. rapid characterization of the earthquakes, including their location, size, fault geometries, slip kinematics, is critical to estimate impact significant seismic events. U.S. Geological...

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...

The north of Ilam Province in Iran has a great variety geodiversity features, and the presence resources, along with other geological geomorphological values, enriched area. purpose present study is to evaluate Province. main indices for assessing include geology, geomorphology, geomorphosites, paleontology, pedology, hydrology, mineral fossil species. In addition geodiversity, hazard maps area...
