The Utah FORGE research team, with NETL support and oversight, recently surpassed a significant milestone in its ongoing work to develop an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) that will flow hot water ...

Some comments and discussion in a recent post about stratigraphy motivated me to finish this post about the future of sedimentary geology, which I started a few months ago but never finished. The fact ...

Sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces of older rocks (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) and organic remains (shells, bone, etc.). When rocks break apart from erosion they are transported by ...

Rocks store information from long ago. For instance, their composition can reveal the environmental conditions during their formation. This makes them extremely important in climate research. This led ...

This article discusses a study published in Nature that reveals the previously underestimated contribution of geological weathering of carbon-rich sedimentary rocks to the global carbon cycle. The ...

SedEx, or sedimentary exhalative deposits, are ore deposits formed when hydrothermal fluids enter a water reservoir, such as an ocean, and precipitate minerals. SedEx deposits are a major source of ...

This is one of our most important topics of the semester. Plan to read this material now and review it again a few times in the second half of the semester. We will be doing quite a lot of work in ...

The Rock Cycle is Earth's great recycling process where igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all be derived from and form one another. Analogous to recycling a Coke can, where an old can ...

Make your own sedimentary rock with crayons, a plastic cup, and your own strength! Señora Rozo shares what the 3 types of rocks are that we can find on our planet as well as how you can make one of ...
