Taiwan experiences some of the world's fastest rates of mountain building -- they are growing at a faster rate than our fingernails grow in a year. The mountains also see frequent and significant ...
In the search for more, new and cleaner sources of energy, a largely untapped resource is emerging: natural hydrogen.
The earliest evidence of humans altering the geology of the planet has been uncovered from the depths of the Dead Sea. A new study has documented how 11,500 years ago, soil erosion, thought to be a ...
Mountain building, also known as orogenesis, is a geological process that involves the formation and uplift of large, elevated landforms, known as mountains. The term "orogenesis" comes from Greek ...
Geological engineers bridge the gap between geology and civil engineering, ensuring safe, sustainable interactions with the Earth through tasks like infrastructure design, resource exploration, ...
We know Aotearoa New Zealand is home to many geographically and biologically special features. Yet few of us know it also has ...
1. Introduction -- 2. Stress -- 3. Displacement and strain -- 4. Relation between stress and strain -- 5. Loading of brittle rock to failure -- 6. Stress concentration -- 7. Theories of brittle ...
Abstract Spatial and temporal patterns in the sedimentary record are controlled by a wide range of forcing mechanisms. Macrostratigraphy uses the temporal ranges of gap‐bound rock packages, compiled ...
“A new Tel Aviv University study has uncovered the earliest known geological indications of manmade impact on geological processes, in particular erosion of the surface, from 11,500 years ago. Within ...
