reservoir rock in fuel geology
This document discusses reservoir rock, which is subsurface rock with sufficient porosity and permeability to allow for the accumulation of petroleum. It defines porosity as the capacity for rocks to contain fluids, describing primary porosity from spaces between deposited particles and secondary porosity from post-depositional dissolution. Permeability is the ability of fluid to pass through porous rock. Major reservoir rock types include siliciclastic rocks from weathered igneous and sedimentary materials, and marine, lacustrine, and fluvial rocks formed in various depositional environments.
Methods of prospecting for oil and gas in fuel geology
This document discusses various methods used for prospecting oil and gas, including geological, geophysical, aerial and drilling techniques. Geological methods involve surface mapping and analyzing data from exploratory wells. Geophysical techniques encompass gravimetric, magnetic, and seismic surveys to detect underground structures. Prospective drilling involves extracting core samples from test wells to identify potential oil and gas reserves. Together, these prospecting methods are used to identify favorable conditions for oil and gas accumulation and inform decisions about exploration and extraction.
coal bed methane in fuel geology
Coal bed methane (CBM) is natural gas extracted from coal beds. CBM forms during the coalification process where plant material is transformed into coal over time and buried deeper underground. As coalification progresses, methane gas is generated and stored within the micropores of coal by adsorption. When extracted via wells, water must also be pumped out which can impact local aquifers and water supplies if not properly managed. India has significant CBM reserves that could serve as an energy resource but extraction also carries environmental risks like venting chemicals and impacting air and water quality that require mitigation.
structural traps in fuel geology
This document discusses different types of structural traps that can trap oil and gas underground. It describes how anticlines and domes form when rocks are bent into arches through folding, trapping hydrocarbons along the crest. Fault traps occur when faulting blocks off sections of reservoir rock. Salt domes form when salt deposits buried deep underground rise unevenly, pushing other rock layers up and creating traps near the edges of the upturned reservoir rocks. Structural traps are critical features that form when tectonic processes cause local deformation of reservoir units after sediment deposition.
Volcano in environment geology
This document summarizes information about volcanoes. It defines a volcano as a rupture in the Earth's crust that allows hot lava, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. Volcanoes form over time as a result of magma rising through cracks and releasing pressure during volcanic eruptions, which cool to form new crust. Characteristics of volcanoes include their cone shape and the lava and ash produced during eruptions. Volcanic hazards pose risks and can include lava flows, explosions, toxic gases, ash falls, pyroclastic flows, and mudflows. Volcano forecasts rely on studying past eruptions to estimate potential hazards, and monitoring for earthquake activity and surface deformation to provide useful warnings of
surface water pollution and it's treatment in environmental geology
The document discusses surface water pollution and its treatment. It defines surface water pollution as pollution of aquatic systems above ground, such as streams, lakes, and rivers, which become polluted when rainwater carries pollutants. It then describes major types of surface water pollution, including nutrients, pathogens, and pollution in rivers and lakes from both point sources like pipes and non-point sources like agricultural runoff. Finally, it discusses wastewater treatment processes that remove contaminants to protect water resources.
TSUNAMI in environmental geology
This document discusses tsunamis, or giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. It defines a tsunami as a series of extremely long waves caused by a large and sudden displacement of the ocean, usually the result of an earthquake below or near the ocean floor. Tsunamis are caused by sudden movements of the ocean surface due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, or large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impacts in the ocean. Tsunamis can have devastating effects by destroying coastal habitats, killing both land and sea animals, and polluting the ocean with dangerous chemicals.
water-pollution in environmental geology
The document discusses several causes of water pollution: oxygen depletion from bacteria decomposing waste or algal blooms; toxic substances like heavy metals discharged from power plants; and organic chemicals from industrial waste. It notes that power plants release toxins like lead, mercury and arsenic into waterways, contaminating over 23,000 miles of rivers and harming public health. The document concludes by asking how we can reduce water pollution and promoting conservation messages like "Save Water, Save Earth."

volcanic hazards & volcanic activities
This document summarizes volcanic hazards and their causes. It describes how volcanic eruptions can range from non-explosive lava emissions to extremely violent explosive bursts. The three main causes of volcanic eruptions are the buoyancy of magma, pressure from exsolved gases, and the injection of new magma. Volcanic hazards include lava flows, pyroclastic flows, ash, and gases. Primary effects are volcanic gases, lava flows, pyroclastic flows, and flooding. Earthquakes can precede and accompany eruptions, caused by displacement of lava. Most volcanic activity occurs along subduction plate boundaries like the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Sediment in River in environmental geology
Sediments accumulate in rivers in areas where the water velocity decreases, such as deltas, river banks, and the bottom of waterfalls. Sediments are eroded from the land by water and moved downstream by rivers. The speed of the river affects both the erosion of sediments and their deposition, with faster waters carrying smaller particles and slower waters depositing larger ones. Sediments in rivers can accumulate over time and reduce the capacity of dams and reservoirs.
recycle mineral resource of energy
Recycling mineral resources and energy is the topic of this document. The author is Thomas Chinnappan, who has an M.Sc. in Applied Geology from Periyar University in Salem. The document likely discusses methods for recycling minerals and generating energy from waste materials.
palte boundary related earthquake
Earthquakes occur primarily along plate boundaries. The circum-Pacific belt experiences over 80% of the world's shallow and medium quakes due to subduction zones where oceanic plates converge along the edges of continents and islands. There are three types of plate boundaries - convergent where plates collide and one slides under the other (subduction), divergent where plates move apart like at mid-ocean ridges, and transform where plates slide past each other along strike-slip faults. Large quakes originate at these plate boundaries when friction overcomes and the plates suddenly shift.
Plate Tectonics and environment geology, minerals and rock, ecology and geology
This document summarizes key aspects of plate tectonics and how it relates to the environment, minerals, rocks, and ecology. It describes how plate tectonics theory explains the movement of tectonic plates in the earth's lithosphere. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they collide, and transform faults where motion is horizontal. Plate tectonics causes volcanism and mountain building which can influence climate patterns. Weathering and mining impact the environment and change rocks and minerals over time. Environmental factors like temperature and rainfall also control the rate of rock weathering. Ecology differs from geology in that ecology studies the relationships between living organisms and their habitat,
point source and non poinr source in water pollution
This document discusses point source and non-point source water pollution. Point source pollution originates from discrete, confined sources like pipes or ditches. It includes wastewater from municipal treatment plants and industrial discharges. Non-point pollution has diffuse, intermittent sources and is influenced by land use and climate. It includes runoff carrying oils, fertilizers and pesticides from urban and agricultural areas. The document outlines methods to control pollution through infiltration, detention, retention, constructed wetlands, filtration and biofilters. It also discusses regulations aimed at point sources and voluntary efforts to address non-point sources.

landslide in environmental geology
Landslides are downward or outward movements of soil, rock, or vegetation under the influence of gravity. There are several types of landslides including rotational, translational, rock fall, rock toppling, lateral spreading, and debris flows. Landslides are caused by both natural factors like heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and human factors like construction. Landslides can cause physical damage, casualties, flooding, loss of infrastructure and property, and decreased agricultural productivity and property values. Signs of landslide risks include steep slopes, cracks in the ground, tilted trees or structures, and changes in groundwater levels.
Landslides full detail in environmental geology
This document discusses landslides, their causes, types, effects, and mitigation strategies. It defines a landslide as the downward movement of soil, rock or vegetation under the influence of gravity. Key causes of landslides include heavy rainfall, earthquakes, erosion, steep slopes, and geological factors. The document outlines different types of landslides and their potential direct and indirect effects. It then discusses various passive and active intervention strategies that can be used to prevent landslides, including drainage improvements, reforestation, retaining walls, and landslide hazard mapping.
over population in environmental geology
This document discusses the impacts of population increase on land use and the environment. It notes that human population has grown due to our ability to inhabit all climate zones and improved agriculture and healthcare lowering death rates. Factors influencing population growth include birth and death rates as well as migration. Solutions proposed to slow growth include economic development, education, family planning, and reproductive healthcare. The environmental effects of overpopulation include increased farming impacts like deforestation for new farmland, and climate change from fossil fuel use to support larger populations.
INTERNAL STRUCTURES OF EARTH
The document summarizes the internal structure of Earth in three main layers - crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer and thinnest, divided into continental and oceanic crust. Below is the mantle, making up 80% of the Earth's volume and divided into lithosphere and asthenosphere layers. The innermost layer is the core, with a solid inner core and liquid outer core composed primarily of iron and nickel.
Human response to hazards in environmental geology
Human response to disasters has evolved over time. Ancient societies often saw disasters as acts of gods, while modern societies view them as natural hazards. Developed countries can better predict hazards due to technology and experts. In places prone to regular hazards, communities adapt behaviors to cope with future events. Hazard management involves preparedness at community, institutional, and household levels. The aftermath of a disaster refers to its social, economic, and environmental consequences.

Geothermal energy in environmental geology
Geothermal energy harnesses heat from beneath the Earth's surface. It has been used for heating purposes like bathing for thousands of years. The first use of geothermal energy for electricity generation was in Italy in 1904. Geothermal power plants are located mostly in the western US, Alaska, and Hawaii, with California generating the most. Heat comes from underground water or steam reservoirs. There are three main types of geothermal power plants: dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle plants that use lower temperature resources. Geothermal energy has advantages of being renewable, causing low emissions, and providing baseload power. Disadvantages include being location-restricted, potentially triggering earthquakes, and having high
Earthquake in Environmental geology
An earthquake is caused by a sudden release of energy in the earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The intensity and magnitude of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. Seismometers measure earthquake motions, and seismic waves include body waves that travel through the earth and surface waves that travel along the surface. Most major earthquakes occur at plate boundaries and are caused by the buildup and sudden release of pressure between tectonic plates. Earthquake effects include loss of life and property damage. Early warning systems aim to detect earthquakes quickly through primary seismic waves to warn of impending stronger secondary waves.
COASTAL PROCESSES in environmental geology
This document discusses coastal processes and erosion. It describes coastal erosion as the loss or displacement of land along coastlines due to natural forces like waves, currents, winds and storms. Coastal erosion becomes a problem when people build structures in erosion-prone coastal areas. It also discusses coastal hazards from rapid events like cyclones and tsunamis, as well as slow erosion. Human activities like sand mining, dredging and coral mining can exacerbate coastal erosion. The document outlines natural causes of erosion like wave action, winds and tides, as well as catastrophic events. It notes challenges with perceiving coastal hazards and adjusting to them through engineering structures, which may protect some property but ultimately damage beaches.
CLIMATE CHANGE in environmental geology
Climate change is causing the Earth's surface to warm, with many of the warmest years on record occurring in the past 20 years. Some areas are warming faster than others, but globally temperatures have increased around 2 degrees Fahrenheit over the past century. This warming is causing more extreme weather events like powerful cyclones, erratic monsoons that lead to cycles of drought and flood, and increased landslides in the Himalayas from heavy rainfall. Climate change is also contributing to rising sea levels that cause coastal salinization as saltwater moves further inland, as well as increased wildfires around the world.
evalution of hazards in environment geology
This document discusses the evaluation of hazards. It defines a hazard as any potential source of harm, damage, or adverse health effects. It then outlines the hazard evaluation process, which recognizes and evaluates chemical, physical, and biological hazards in the workplace. The document also discusses hazard history data, disaster prediction through analyzing past data patterns, and risk assessment, which requires input from experts in different fields and aims to integrate efforts to assess vulnerabilities and potential losses to inform decision making.
Channel Patterns & Floodplain Formation in environmental geology
Wide valleys often include floodplains, which are broad strips of land built up by sediment deposition on either side of stream channels. During floods, floodplain areas may be covered by flood waters carrying silt and clay, which are deposited as horizontal layers when flood waters recede. Successive floods can build up natural levees, which are low ridges of deposited sediment forming along stream channels. Floodplains contain features such as meanders, point bars, and oxbow lakes.
Optical properties of common oxide ore minerals in economic geology
This document discusses the optical properties of common oxide ore minerals. It defines properties like reflection, refraction, luster, light transmission, color, and streak. It then examines these properties for specific oxide minerals like hematite, magnetite, corundum, rutile, and goethite. For each mineral, it provides details on their color, streak, luster, transparency, crystal structure, and refractive index. The document serves as a guide to identifying oxide minerals based on their optical characteristics under reflected light microscopy.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skillsUnlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
