Basic, nuts and bolts structural geology is the unheralded success story central to brownfields exploration that in Australia, globally, has grown manyfold mineral deposits beyond start-of-mine Reserve. Since last (2012) meeting on applied Resources, topic changed dramatically. Now, practised daily house by most mining companies.KEY POINTSA diversity of settings, host rocks, control geometry ma...

As part of a 3.year program of geologic mapping from the Yukon border south through the Midway, Cassiar and Erickson mining camps (Nelson and Bradford, 1987a; 1987b; 1989, this volume; Nelson et al. 1988a; 1988b), I:25 000.scale mapping was conducted in the northeast quarter of the Needlepoint Mountain (104P/4) map area during the 1988 field season (Figure l-35-1). Since Gabrielse’s ( 1963) ori...

[1] The Earth’s surface is shaped by the interaction of tectonics, water, sediment, solutes, and biota over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales and across diverse environments. Development of a predictive science of Earth surface dynamics integrates many disciplines and approaches, including hydrology, geomorphology, ocean and atmospheric science, sedimentary and structural geology, geo...

The preliminary geologic map of the McTarnahan Hill quadrangle, first released in 1999 in PDF format, was originally drafted in Adobe Illustrator. This Second Edition (Revised 2009) was converted and modified slightly in ArcMap Version 9.3. The Quaternary unit descriptions were not significantly changed from the original map. Bedrock unit descriptions were modified and corrected, and sections w...

The wealth of data from recent missions to Mars, including images from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) and Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) provides new insights into all aspects of Martian geology. High-resolution MOC and THEMIS images at Solis Planum reveal unprecedented detail of wrinkle ridge structures. In addition to confirming previous interpretations and revealing new structural c...

This paper presents a new interpretation of the geometry of Triassic alignment of J. Sidi Mahdi –J. Zitoun in Medjerda Valley Plain (Northern Tunisia) based on detailed analysis of gravity and seismic reflection data. The main results of gravity analysis do not show a distinguish gravity anomaly over Triassic evaporites bodies. The positive gravity anomaly seems to be related to the entire stru...
