morphometric characteristics of anticlines can play an important role in the exploration of oil resources. the purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of geomorphology on the exploration of oil resources in oil-rich bankol and oil-less danehkhoshk anticlines by means of geomorphological indices. to achieve the purpose of this study, topographic maps at a scale of 1:50000 and geologic...

Communication in geology is characterized by very many expressions, used in texts and lectures. Among these, nonverbal terms are much more important than in other sciences. Informations rarely reflect pure facts, rather they are expressions and results of a complex process of knowledge formation. In a geologic map for example, the structure of symbols illustrates the process of knowledge transf...

Next-generation planetary exploration rovers will soon be able to travel long distances in a single-communication cycle. This offers an enormous opportunity but also an important challenge: robots will need to do science autonomously and understand collected data in order to make more effective exploration decisions. We have developed a system to obtain spectroscopic measurements on-the-fly, po...

A geologic classification scheme was combined with elevation to test hypotheses regarding watershed sensitivity to acidic deposition using available regional spatial data and to delimit a highinterest area for streamwater acidification sensitivity within the Southern Appalachian Mountains region. It covered only 28% of the region, and yet included almost all known streams that have low acid neu...

Planetary geoscience had very little presence in GSA’s first century, but it has a long history in GSA publications. Beginning with the Moon, the transformation of the planets and their satellites from astronomical objects into geological worlds has taken place largely by geologic mapping using telescope and spacecraft imagery and by the application of stratigraphic principles to these new data...

We present an interactive, real-time mapping system for use with digital elevation models and remotely sensed multispectral imagery, which aids geoscientists in the creation and interpretation of geologic/neotectonic maps at length scales of 10m to 1000 km. Our system provides a terrain visualization of the surface of the Earth or other terrestrial planets by displaying a virtual terrain model ...

The list of published geological reports on the IskutSulphurc& gold camp continues to grow. The regional geologic framework has been prcsentcd by Anderwn (IYXY), Anderson and Thorkelson (IYYO) and Anderson and Bevier (1990). The geology and mineralization of the Sulphurets, Unuk and Snippaker areas have been described in maps and repwts by Alldrick and Britton ( 1988). Alldrick rf ul. (IYXY, IY...
