Taiwan experiences some of the world's fastest rates of mountain building -- they are growing at a faster rate than our fingernails grow in a year. The mountains also see frequent and significant ...

The earliest evidence of humans altering the geology of the planet has been uncovered from the depths of the Dead Sea. A new study has documented how 11,500 years ago, soil erosion, thought to be a ...

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

Mountain building, also known as orogenesis, is a geological process that involves the formation and uplift of large, elevated landforms, known as mountains. The term "orogenesis" comes from Greek ...

Abstract Spatial and temporal patterns in the sedimentary record are controlled by a wide range of forcing mechanisms. Macrostratigraphy uses the temporal ranges of gap‐bound rock packages, compiled ...

Travertine is not only a geological wonder but also a popular building material. Its use dates back to ancient Rome, evident ...

“A new Tel Aviv University study has uncovered the earliest known geological indications of manmade impact on geological processes, in particular erosion of the surface, from 11,500 years ago. Within ...

The geology of Venus presents a complex interplay between extensive volcanic activity, mantle dynamics and tectonic deformation. Recent studies have revealed that, in the absence of Earth‐like plate ...
