Semi-Automated Segmentation of Geoscientific Data Using Superpixels [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Geological processes determine the distribution of resources such as critical minerals, water, and geothermal energy. However, direct observation of geology is often prevented by surface cover such as overburden or vegetation. In such cases, remote and in-situ surveys are frequently conducted to collect physical measurements of the earth indicative of ...

Teaching Waves with Google Earth [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Educ. 47 (2012) pp. 73-77, 2011
Google Earth is a huge source of interesting illustrations of various natural phenomena. It can represent a valuable tool for science education, not only for teaching geography and geology, but also physics. Here we suggest that Google Earth can be used for introducing in an attractive way the physics of waves.

Density vs distance for the DUNE beam from two recent geology density maps [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. D 95, 113004 (2017), 2016
The densities passed through for neutrinos going from Fermilab to Sanford lab are obtained using two recent density tables, crustal [1] and Shen-Ritzwoller[2], as well as the values from an older table PEMC[3].

Making Geology Relevant to Non-Science Majors Through the Environmental Site Assessment Project [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This article reports on the effectiveness of The Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) project, which was developed to make geology more relevant to non-science majors in Appalachian State University's Environmental and Applied Geology course.

On the road to personalised and precision geomedicine: medical geology and a renewed call for interdisciplinarity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Our health depends on where we currently live, as well as on where we have lived in the past and for how long in each place. An individual’s place history is particularly relevant in conditions with long latency between exposures and clinical ...

On the Correct Use of Statistical Tests: Reply to "Lies, damned lies and statistics (in Geology)" [PDF]

open access: yesEos Transactions AGU, Vol. 92, No. 8, page 64, 22 February 2011, 2010
In a Forum published in EOS Transactions AGU (2009) entitled "Lies, damned lies and statistics (in Geology)", Vermeesch (2009) claims that "statistical significant is not the same as geological significant", in other words, statistical tests may be misleading. In complete contradiction, we affirm that statistical tests are always informative. We detail

On the Spaces and Dimensions of Geographical Systems [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geography and Geology, 2012, 4(1): 118-135, 2011
To remove the confusion of concepts about different sorts of geographical space and dimension, a new framework of space theory is proposed in this paper. Based on three sets of fractal dimensions, the geographical space is divided into three types: real space (R-space), phase space (P-space), and order space (O-space).
