This article provides a background for scientists interested in a general overview of the geology and geomorphology of Turkmenistan. The basement of Turkmenistan is a complex amalgamation of arc-related terranes developed in the Asiatic and northern Paleotethys oceanic domains during Late Paleozoic to Triassic times. A major part of the country coincides with the Turan Platform, where a thick s...

the volume and surface area of the coast is a function of basin water levels. recognizing the factors of coastal geomorphologic changes could have a pivotal role in planning and managing the coast. effective factors in the formation and evolution of geomorphologic factors such as geological, tectonic, paleoclimatic, paleoclimatic and sea level changes have been considered in this study and the ...

our civilization is based on metals, among other life supports. the existing ore deposits are becoming rapidly depleted by almost exponentially increasing demand and production and major new ore discoveries are needed. mineral exploration is supported by modern tools and scientific ideas, but geological characteristics of orebodies and their rock associations have still to be visualized.the tim...

The article considers the geological features and ore composition of Dyusembay Central (Sayakhat) leadzinc deposit in Karsakpai metallogenic complex Kazakhstan. Historically, was considered industrially significant terms iron ores, rather than lead, zinc, copper. It is shown that composed tuffaceous, silty-sandstone, carbonaceous-terrigenous (ore-hosting), terrigenous, volcanogenic rocks assign...

The remains of the natural and human activities in some parts of the earth register as geopark. Actually, geopark is one or more geological phenomenon which is important from ecology, history, culture and archeological view. The aim of the geotourism description in an area and creating a geopark is trying to keep the earth's inheritance and locality the economic of the area. Iran with an old hi...

The standard account of the reasoning process within geology views it as lacking a distinctive methodology of its own. Rather, geology is described as a derivative science, relying on the logical techniques exemplified by physics. I argue that this account is inadequate and skews our understanding of both geology and the scientific process in general. Far from simply taking up and applying the ...

Too often illustrating and visualizing 3D geological concepts are performed by sketching in 2D mediums, which may limit drawing performance of initial concepts. Here, the potential of expeditious geological modeling brought by hand gestures is explored. A spatial interaction system was developed to enable rapid modeling, editing, and exploration of 3D layer-cake objects. User interactions are a...

During 2000-2001, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Ocean Modeling and Prediction Division of the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), constructed tidal gages at the East Pearl River at CSX Railroad near Claiborne, Mississippi, at the Rigolets at CSX Railroad near Rigolets, Louisiana, and at the Chef Menteur Pass at CSX Railroad at Chef Menteur, Louisiana, to co...
