Surveying long stretches of land for tunnels, pipelines and other subsurface infrastructure can be a time-consuming process when there is limited information on the local geology. Even with proper ...

New research reveals that, rather than being influenced only by environmental conditions, deep subsurface microbial communities can transform because of geological movements. The findings advance our ...

The North Sea basins encompass a multi-phase record of rifting, sedimentation and inversion that spans from the Devonian to the present. Early extensional tectonics generated a mosaic of half-grabens ...

Scientists have mapped the near-surface geology around Old Faithful, revealing the reservoir of heated water that feeds the geyser's surface vent and how the ground shaking behaves in between ...

The Center for Economic Geology Research (CEGR) at the University of Wyoming's (UW) School of Energy Resources is a group of research scientists who apply knowledge in geology, geophysics, reservoir ...

In the deep subsurface that plunges into the Earth for miles, microscopic organisms inhabit vast bedrock pores and veins. Belowground microorganisms, or microbes, comprise up to half of all living ...
