Geological Survey of South Australia’s Post

#throwbackThursday The North Dakota Geological Survey’s Ford Touring car (its first motorized field vehicle). The car came equipped with a starter and demountable rims. State Geologist Arthur G. Leonard is seated on the running board, flanked by two unidentified assistants circa 1922. - NDGS International Scout field vehicle. This car came equipped with a heater, sliding windows, half of a V-8 engine, and a hydraulic clutch (which had approximately 1/8 inch of play from standing still to full speed). State Geologist Wilson M. Laird (center) with geologists John Bluemle (left) and Ted Freers circa 1962. #tbt #northdakota #northdakotageology #ndgeology #ndgs #ndgsgeologists #geology #geological #GeologyRocks #geologists #geologist #subsurfacegeology #geoscience #geologicalexploration #petroleumgeology #ndgspaleontologists #fossilhunting #fossilhunter

Have you been thinking about becoming Chartered but still have lots of questions before starting your application? Attend one of the Chartership online training sessions where you can learn more about the Chartership Journey, which Chartership is right for you, how to join LinkedIn mentor groups and ask any questions you may have for the Chartership Officer. The Geological Society of London is the recognised UK professional body for geoscientists across all areas of expertise – that’s why the Society does its best to help you throughout the process so that you can feel confident in your Chartership application at the end. The next drop-in and Q&A sessions are coming up soon! - 3 July: Chartership applicant online Q&A - 8 July: Chartership applicant online drop-in session ahead of 1 August application deadline Find out more about Chartership and Chartership training sessions by visiting the webpage https://lnkd.in/e9WNz94a #Geolsoc #GeologicalSociety #GeologyMembership #CharteredGeologist #CharteredScientist #CGeol #CSci #GeologyBursary #Geology #Geoscience #Earthscience

State Geologist Ed Murphy presented on Critical Minerals to the Legal and Regulatory Affairs Committee during the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) Annual Conference in Colorado Springs, CO this week. IOGCC is a multi-state government agency, chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1935, that champions the conservation and efficient recovery and storage of domestic oil and gas resources while protecting human health, safety, and the environment. #northdakota #northdakotageology #ndgeology #ndgs #ndgsgeologists #geology #geological #GeologyRocks #geologists #geologist #geoscience #geologicalexploration #oilandgas #oilgas #oilfield #oilandgasexploration #oilandgasindustry #coredrilling #corelogging #coreanalysis

Is Material Balance analysis kryptonite for the modern geocellular model? Large simulation models allow geologists to present what they believe to be happening, and they reassure decision makers when you only have a few exploration wells in one small area of a field. But just because today’s geocellular models can provide a thousand times more cells than was possible decades ago, does that mean the process is a thousand times better? And are there tried and tested methods that offer just as much, if not greater, accuracy – methods like material balance analysis? https://lnkd.in/dkFtFRiA #geology #geologist #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #consultants

📑 The GSSA has released a new research article - Dataset and isotope maps for Sm-Nd isotopic data for igneous rocks in South Australia! 🗺️ This product builds on the previously released dataset by Geoscience Australia in 2013, adding over 1,000 datapoints to the isotopic maps. The isotopic data is like a window into Earth’s history, allowing us to reconstruct events that occurred, and how South Australia has evolved over millions of years. Identifying the distribution of mantle and crustal domains may help identify prospective areas for mineral exploration! 🔍View the article and dataset here: https://ow.ly/luSJ50UhQ63 #GSSA #SouthAustralia #Geology #Geoscience #GeologicalSurveySA #GeoscienceAustralia #Isotope #Isotopic #Map #Maps

New #Geosphere: Platt et al., "Geological fingerprints of deep slow earthquakes: A review of field constraints and directions for future research." They explain that "evidence for high pore-fluid pressures in subduction zones suggests that they may be associated with hydraulic fractures (e.g., veins) and with metamorphic reactions that release or consume water."
