To constrain the timing of rifting in the western, eastern, and northern parts of the Alboran Sea basin, seismic reflectors, corresponding to biostratigraphic boundaries and unconformities from the Miocene to Recent, are correlated using synthetic seismograms. Regions of adjacent coeval compression and extension are found in the Alboran Sea basin. Normal faulting continues in parts of the easte...

This paper presents two classroom activities which have students analyze, collect, and interpret geologic data. The material is targeted at distance learning, although it can function well in the as pseudo-field trips. activity based around Virtual Outcrop Models (VOMs), created using Structure from Motion – Multi-view Stereo photogrammetry, of outcrops: first a folded outcrop southern Death Va...

In the second revised edition of this widely used textbook, practical aspects are given particular emphasis. Two new chapters have been added-one on geology in engineering, another summarizing the subject matter of physical geology and explaining its relation to earth history. The chapter on geology in engineering, and those on minerals and mineral deposits, offer especially good material for a...

I am delighted to announce completion of the second issue of the new journal of “Geopersia”, a product of the new era of replacing the Persian language journals with specific English-language ones. Our purpose is to provide a journal that offers a multi-disciplinary analysis of issues concerning Geology subjects (i.e. sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleontology, Petroleum Geology, Engineering Geo...
