Health benefits of geologic materials and geologic processes.
The reemerging field of Medical Geology is concerned with the impacts of geologic materials and geologic processes on animal and human health. Most medical geology research has been focused on health problems caused by excess or deficiency of trace elements, exposure to ambient dust, and on other geologically related health problems or health problems for which geoscience tools, techniques, or ...
متن کاملGeologic environments and health in China.
Editorial Natural geologic environments in China affect human health in a variety of ways through interactions between geochemical, hydro-logic, and biologic processes and human activities. Numerous national-scale cases serve as examples, including correlations between the distribution of Keshan and Kaschin-Beck diseases (both thought to be associated with nutritional deficiencies) and the nort...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Geologic Materials at Man-made Craters
Introduction: Craters made by nuclear detonations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) provide unique test beds for cratering processes and remote detection of the geologic materials present [1,2,3,4]. Here we present results of a remote sensing study that detected an unusual infrared spectral signature at Schooner crater. The signature matches an unusually fine tectosilicate. The deposits are present...
متن کاملGeologic Nozzles
Sonic velocities of geologic fluids, such as volcanic magmas and geothermal fluids, can be as low as 1 m/s. Critical velocities in large rivers can be of the order of 1-10 m/s. Because velocities of fluids moving in these settings can exceed these characteristic velocities, sonic and supersonic gas flow and critical and supercritical shallow-water flow can occur. The importance of the low chara...
متن کاملGeologic Storage of CO2
Dynamic imaging provides an effective way to integrate previous time-lapse data with current data in order to estimate a current model. We present two methods useful for continuous dynamic reservoir and subsurface monitoring. The first method is a stochastic method for the inversion of geophysical data. It uses the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) that we demonstrate using time-lapse surface seism...
