Geology and Geological Sciences Research Areas and Disciplines | |
Geological research can document mineral and petroleum occurrences and groundwater resources, and conduct studies to determine the potential for undiscovered resources.
Geologists also study and help to mitigate natural hazards such as floods, swelling soils, and landslides. This can help to determine the stability of building sites, find abundant supplies of clean water, and minimize the threat to communities at risk from geologic hazards. Geologists prepare maps of areas that have flooded in the past so they can prepare maps of areas that might be flooded in the future. These maps can be used to guide the development of communities and determine where flood protection or flood insurance is needed.
Geologists conduct studies that locate rocks that contain important metals, plan the mines that produce them and the methods used to remove the metals from the rocks. They do similar work to locate and produce oil, natural gas, and ground water. Geologists also work to solve problems involving pollution and waste disposal.
Earthquake geologists are working to develop new tools to predict and measure earthquakes so as to give sufficient advanced warning. They are also working with building geologists and civil engineers to build buildings that are earthquake resistant.
Many geologists are working to learn about the past climates of earth and how they have changed across time. This information is used by others to understand how our current climate is changing and what the results might be.
