64. What Is Geology Marine Geologists study the physical, chemical and biological both to betterunderstand the physical processes involved and to interpret the deep http://www.eeescience.utoledo.edu/Careers/Careers_Geology.htm

What is geology? Geology is the scientific study of the Earth, including the materials that it is made of, the physical and chemical processes that occur on its surface and in its interior, and the history of the planet and its life forms. What do geologists do? Geology is a multi-faceted field with many different areas of specialization. Listed below are some of the more common ones. Earth Science Teachers: teach 'earth science' (a mixture of geology, oceanography and climatology) in junior and senior high schools. A teaching certificate from a professional education program is also normally required. Economic Geologists: explore for and help produce metallic (iron, copper, gold, etc.) and non-metallic (coal, granite dimension stone, limestone aggregate, sand and gravel, etc.) rock and mineral resources of economic value. Engineering Geologists: investigate the engineering properties of rock, sediment and soil below man-made structures such as roads, bridges, high-rise buildings, dams, airports, etc. Environmental Geologists: study the environmental affects of pollution on ground and surface waters and surficial materials (rock, sediment and soil), and also recommend solutions to environmental problems. They are also interested in understanding, predicting and mitigating the effects of natural hazards, such as flooding, erosion, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, etc.

History of Geology I Introduction Print Preview of Section Geology , study of the planet earth, its rocky exterior, its history, and the processes that act upon it. Geology is also referred to as earth science and geoscience. The word geology comes from the Greek geo, “earth,” and logia, “the study of.” Geologists seek to understand how the earth formed and evolved into what it is today, as well as what made the earth capable of supporting life. Geologists study the changes that the earth has undergone as its physical, chemical, and biological systems have interacted during its 4.5 billion year history. The field of geology includes subfields that examine all of the earth's systems, from the deep interior core to the outer atmosphere, including the hydrosphere (the waters of the earth) and the biosphere (the living component of earth). Generally, these subfields are divided into the two major categories of physical and historical geology. Geologists also examine events such as asteroid impacts, mass extinctions, and ice ages. Geologic history shows that the processes that shaped the earth are still acting on it and that change is normal.

Current Courses Offered Major The Environmental Studies Department offers two majors, a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Environmental Studies and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Environmental Science. The Environmental Science major is primarily concerned with understanding human impact on natural ecosystems and trains students through laboratory and field work in primary data acquisition as well as analysis and presentation. The Environmental Studies major is more concerned with understanding the social, political and economic context wherein environmental policy and management decisions are made. Both majors share a common core consisting of 9 courses from all three divisions of the College (Humanities [1], Social Science [II], and Science [III]. Additional requirements consist of 6-7 courses (depending on the focus area), including a 4-course "focus cluster". Thus the majors require 15-16 courses and are among the most rigorous on campus. Classes in the core also may fulfill as many as six general distribution requirements, including the two Division III distribution requirements, one Division I requirement, one Division II requirement, and one Quantitative Reasoning and Writing Intensive requirements.

Alexey Fedorov, Atmosphere, Oceans, Climate Dynamics Dr. Alexey Fedorov joined Yale in July 2004 as Assistant Professor of Geology and Geophysics. His research interests are centered on the role of began with studying small-scale air-sea interactions essential in controlling the physical properties of the ocean surface. Before coming to Yale, Fedorov worked at Princeton University, at the Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences where he became interested in large-scale climate and atmosphere that are relevant to phenomena ranging from oceanic general circulation to large-scale climate variations caused by ocean-atmosphere interactions. The same phenomena are likely to contribute to seasonal, interannual, and decadal climate variability, and to oceanic response to global warming. Applying a hierarchy of models extending from idealized dynamical systems to comprehensive numerical General Circulation Models, Fedorov strives to combine theoretical and numerical approaches with the analysis of data from observations.

about Geology Print page Geology is the study of the physical processes and history of the solid Earth. The science seeks an understanding of such diverse and important phenomena as earth's internal structure, plate tectonics, earthquakes, mountain building, volcanic eruptions, the origin and evolution of life, the extinction of the dinosaurs, the formation of sedimentary basins, climate and sea level change, glaciation, and landscape evolution. Also, the origin and conservation of the Earth's natural resources, such as minerals, fossil fuels, soils and water. Teaching and Research in Geology at Victoria University take advantage of Wellington's dynamic setting, its association with Victoria's Institute of Geophysics, and its long and continuing tradition of Antarctic Research. Despite its small size, VUW's geology group is internationally respected for its recent contributions to such fields as past climate change in NZ and Antarctica, volcanology, and tectonics. In the modern world, understanding of geological processes is becoming increasingly important for those concerned with the extraction and preservation of the Earth's natural resources, the evaluation of natural hazards, anticipating the social and environmental effects of global change, and undertaking environmental and resource planning and monitoring.

I am continually acquiring new data and entering new study areas to test my conceptual ideas in this important research area. Cenozoic tectonic history and basin evolution of the South China Sea region. We have acquired extensive 2-D seismic data sets from the South China Sea (SCS) region. The data cover much of the southern SCS, from offshore Vietnam to Borneo and east-west from the Spratly Islands to the Malay Peninsula. We are examining the tectonic and depositional history of basins across the entire area and are focusing on regional patterns of sediment dispersal, styles and timing of basin inversion, interactions between siliciclastic and carbonate depositional systems, and regional long-term subsidence patterns. Basin inversion and fault reactivation is a recurrent theme in many of our regional studies of tectonically complex regions. We are also very interested in the long-term evolution of major river systems in SE Asia as recorded in the offshore stratigraphy of the South China Sea (

GLY 220 - Physical Geology, Paul Howell, University of Kentucky. Notes 5 Weathering and Sedimentary Rocks. Erosion: loosening and removing earth materials from their resting places. Weathering - breaking up of rocks at or near the surface (subset of erosion). Summary of Weathering Topics - Mechanical versus Chemical weathering processes. - How various rocks weather. - Products of weathering – soil, sediment. Influence of climate, time, etc. Mechanical Weathering : breakup of rocks by physical processes. No chemical changes. Frost Wedging – water gets into cracks in rocks, freezes to form ice and expands, breaking rocks apart. Repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Probably the most efficient mechanical weathering mechanism. Sheeting or Exfoliation – bare rock face breaks, and peels off in thick sheets. Due to pressure release (from erosion) that causes fracturing of exposed rocks. As rocks expand (due to pressure decrease), they fracture parallel to the surface exposed, producing joints (oriented fractures). Eventually, the rock sheets break loose and slide off. Heat/Cold (thermal expansion/contraction) - Seasonal cooling/heating causes shrinking and expansion of the rocks, slowly leading to weakening and gradual fracturing. Only widely recognized in deserts (very high range of temperatures). Locally important effect from forest fires (actually cracks boulders) because of the extreme heat changes there.
