To conceive and build a groundwater model (e.g., for water resources), one must go through a geological model; both models are complex in nature and require experts in each domain with very specific knowledge. In general, the hydrogeologist begins building of the groundwater model from a rough idea of groundwater flows, backwards into describing the “reservoir”; the geologist, on the other hand, begins building of the geological model from the knowledge of the geology of the region under study, forwards into proposing a “reservoir”.

"The surface can tell us a lot about what’s happening inside the Moon, but until now mapping has been very limited," Shum said. "For instance, with this new high-resolution map, we can confirm that there is very little water on the Moon today, even deep in the interior. Read more…

Meridianiite, MgSO₄·11H₂O, was recently discovered on the surface of a frozen pond in central British Columbia, Canada. Meridianiite is stable below 2 °C. Above 2 °C, it melts incongruently to a slurry of epsomite (MgSO₄·7H₂O) and water. Magnesium sulfate minerals are thought to exist in the soils at Gusev crater and elsewhere on the Martian surface.

Uranium is a naturally occurring metal, which is widespread in nature. It is present in the ocean and certain types of soils and rocks, especially granite. Natural uranium is also released into the environment from various activities such as the use of phosphate fertilisers, mining, and combustion from coal and other fuels.

Uranium levels are naturally high in many areas in the UK, particularly where radon levels are high and the underlying rock is predominantly granite. Natural uranium decays to release radon gas into the environment. In other parts of the world, especially in certain areas of the USA and Canada, natural uranium levels in water are particularly high due to the sedimentary rocks. Read more…

Definition of Geology:

Geology is the study of the Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them.  It includes the study of the organisms which inhabit our planet.  A very important part of geology is the study of how Earth’s materials, structures, processes and organisms have changed over time.
