Hydropower has now become the best source of electricity on earth. It is produced due to the energy provided by moving or falling water. History proves that the cost of this electricity remains constant over the year. Because of the many advantages, most of the countries now have hydropower as the source of major electricity producer. The most important advantage of hydropower is that t is gree...

The regional engineering geological conditions and geological hazard evaluation is the important part of realizing the railway geological selection, However, the accuracy of the evaluation largely depends on the reliability of basic information and reasonable mathematical model. Remote sensing provides reliable geological information and accurately reflects the geological conditions along the r...

The result is a second-to-none reputation for excellence in engineering standards and products as well as reliability, trust and commitment in long-lasting partnering rel...

A wide range of methodologies and software applications have been developed to generate 3-Dimensional (3D) geological model data. One of the main open issues is the exchange of these heterogeneous data from different sources, which influences the sharing and integration of 3D geodata. It is also a necessity to take into consideration the semantics of 3D geological data to enable its full exchan...

Abstract Aeromagnetic and vertical electrical sounding around Ijano, southwestern Nigeria, was investigated for groundwater potential. dataset were acquired used to investigate the study area. Oasis Montaj, Microsoft Excel Arc GIS present results in maps, images profiles. In order map out geological structures of area, magnetic image enhancing filters applied total intensity using Geosoft (Oasi...

A fossil hominid tooth was discovered during survey at Galili, Somali region, Ethiopia. The geological and faunal context indicate an Early Pliocene age. The specimen (GLL 33) consists of an almost complete lower right third molar likely representing a male individual of advanced age-at-death. Its comparative metrical, morphological and (micro)structural analysis (supported by a microtomographi...

The lemurs of Madagascar are a unique radiation of primates that show an extraordinary diversity of lifestyles, morphologies and behaviours. However, very little is known about the relative antiquity of lemuriform clades due to the lack of terrestrial fossils for the Tertiary of Madagascar. Here, we employ a Bayesian method to estimate divergence dates within the lemuriform radiation using seve...

[1] Analysis of high resolution Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M) data reveals the presence of a prominent Mg‐spinel‐rich lithology in the central peaks of Theophilus crater on the lunar nearside. Other peak‐associated lithologies are comprised of plagioclase, olivine, and pyroxene‐bearingmaterials. A consistent spatial association of Mg‐spinel with mafic‐free anorthosite is recognized. Documentation ...

A discrete-feature model was used to integrate deterministic and stochastic geoscientific information, to support the Swedish regulatory authorities’ review of SR-Can. The discrete-feature approach was used to replicate the main geometric features of the proponents’ models of the two candidate sites, including: (1) deformation zones on scales of 1 km to 10 km which are treated deterministically...

On palaeoclimate time scales, enhanced levels of geological and geomorphological activity have been linked to climatic factors, including examples of processes that are expected to be important in current and future anthropogenic climate change. Planetary warming leading to increased rainfall, ice-mass loss and rising sea levels is potentially relevant to geospheric responses in many geological...
