The Antrim Coast Road stretching from the seaport of Larne in the East of Northern Ireland has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the most spectacular roads in Europe (Day, 2006). However the problematic geology; Jurassic Lias Clay and Triassic Mudstone overlain by Cretaceous Limestone and Tertiary Basalt, and environmental variables result in frequent instances of slope instability ma...

Category 1 – General Domain This is a system in the geology domain. Main General Function PROSPECTOR is an expert system designed for decision-making problems in mineral exploration. It aids geologists in evaluating the favorability of an exploration site or region for occurrences of ore deposits of particular types. Once a site has been identified, PROSPECTOR can also be used for drilling-site...

China's Chang'e-5 (CE-5) mission, the first lunar sample return mission since 1976, landed at 43.06°N, 51.92°W on Dec. 1, 2020, in Northern Oceanus Procellarum. CE-5 targeted a mare plain (Em4/P58) composed of distinctive young (∼1.6-1.7 Ga) moderate-Ti basalts, with elevated Th abundance (inherent or extraneous). Thus, regolith and rock fragments sampled by come from some youngest basalts Moon...

A detailed record of the Late Holocene sea level rise and landscape evolution that has taken place on the Georgia coast is contained within the sedimentary stratigraphy of its salt marsh depositional basins. Global relative sea level (RSL) has risen during the Late Holocene, and the rate of rise has accelerated during the Anthropocene. Jones Narrows marsh stratigraphy and radiocarbon analysis i...
