A comprehensive study of the reserve and production potential of the Barnett shale integrates engineering, geology, and economics into a numerical model that allows for scenario testing based on ...

For years, scientists have been trying to understand the mechanisms behind the destruction of Earth’s cratons, but results have remained elusive. Now, in a Nature Geoscience study, researchers ...

In a region long known for its mineral wealth, a recent geological study is prompting researchers to revisit some of the most fundamental assumptions about Earth’s deep history. Beneath the red ...

The hydrogen hiding in geological formations may be enough to fulfill the anticipated global demand for the energy-rich gas for almost 200 years, according to a recent report from the US Geological ...

The geology and science behind oil drilling can be quite interesting and important for understanding which companies are the right fit for your investment. When people talk about oil drilling, many of ...

Buried nearly a kilometre beneath the Atlantic seabed west of Guinea-Bissau lies a geological time-capsule: gigantic 117-million-year-old mud waves sculpted by dense, underwater avalanches. A new ...

Previous models of Earth's recent (100 million years) geomorphology have been patchy at best. For the first time a detailed continuous model of the Earth's landscape evolution is presented, with ...

Geological engineers bridge the gap between geology and civil engineering, ensuring safe, sustainable interactions with the Earth through tasks like infrastructure design, resource exploration, ...
