His original fieldwork involved studying the geological composition of the Himalayan foothills near the Peshawar Basin in Pakistan.
The mechanical properties of a given rock volume are dependent on its geological composition.
The underlying geological composition of soils has been reported to be a major source of heavy metal contamination of soil.
Studying rock from deep below the surface will allow us to understand, better than ever before, the geological composition of the Moon, the relationship it shares with our planet and the effects of the late heavy bombardment period on the inner solar system.
There are ways to monitor when the dam of a glacial lake might break: Scientists track the lake's depth, the geological composition and geometry of its dam, and other factors, such as melting rate and steepness of adjacent glaciers.
The article describes: the deposit area, peculiarities of the landscapes and climate conditions, geological composition of the region, bicarbonate mineral water formation processes and coordinates of water outcrops.
Their geological composition includes, among others, sandstone and limestone, and also coal.
Depending on streambed geological composition, these endmembers can vary significantly between or even within river systems [16], [22].
However these diverse habitats reveal similarities in their apparent large-scale geological composition (such as mineralogy of beach stretches), and in common meteorological controls that drive the occupancy distribution of avifauna in space and time.
The Krom River (SA East, Figure 1, see Additional file 1: Table S1) and Elands River (SA West, Figure 1, see Additional file 1: Table S1) are approximately 30 km apart, yet the shift in geological composition results in a drastic change in pH over the short distance.
