Seismic modeling aids the geophysicists to have a better understanding of the subsurface image before the seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation. In this regard, seismic survey modeling is employed to make a model close to the real structure and to obtain very realistic synthetic seismic data. The objective of this study is to analyze the resolution and illumination of the fault by...

Southeast Asia’s complex geological history and highly variable geography and ecology provide an ideal template for testing the effects of geographical change on phylogenetic processes (Brown & Guttman, 2002; Evans et al., 2003; Jansa et al., 2006; Esselstyn et al., 2009). More specifically, the Philippine archipelago, spanning components of the Sundaland–Eurasian and Biodiversity Institute and...

Geoaesthetics is the project of making aesthetic sense of nature through geological phenomena. The aesthetic appreciation of nature has recently become urgent because of the serious influence of the natural environment on human beings. The author’s geoaesthetical research is categorized into three problems: art in geology or geology in the arts as the close relationship between art and geology,...

A project designed to gain access to all usable data to aid construction of 3D geological models for southern Manitoba has included signifi cant effort to appropriately utilize lithological data of variable quality in the Provincial water well database known as “GWDrill”. In order to use the data, it was necessary fi rst to assign x, y, and z coordinates to each site on the basis of the existin...

Geometallurgy tries to predict the instability the behavior of ores caused by variability in the geological settings, and to optimize the mineral value chain. Understanding the ore variability and subsequently the process response are considered to be the most important functions of an accurate geometallurgical study. In this paper, the geometallurgical index is presented as a new tool to...
