This geographic information provides the base that geologists use to map geologic units, faults, folds, and other surface geologic features. Commonly, geologists use the appropriately scaled topographic quadrangle maps made available by the U.S. Geological Survey.

2025年1月9日 · Geology - Surface Features, Processes, Earth: Geomorphology is literally the study of the form or shape of the Earth, but it deals principally with the topographical features of the Earth’s surface. It is concerned with the classification, description, and origin of landforms.

SBG Workshop, May 20 - 22, 2025 in Washington, DC. In 2018, NASA initiated a new study for the Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) Designated Observable, identified in the 2018 National Academies’ Decadal Survey entitled, "Thriving on Our Changing Planet: A Decadal Strategy for Earth Observation from Space."

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface publishes original research articles on the physical, chemical and biological processes that affect the form and function of the surface of the solid Earth over all temporal and spatial scales.

2012年6月30日 · Earth Surface Processes and Landforms is a geomorphology journal examining links between how surface processes affect our landforms and landscapes. Articles investigate the impacts of past, current and future environmental change on Earth, and span physical geography, geology, and the wider geosciences.

MIT OpenCourseWare is a web based publication of virtually all MIT course content. OCW is open and available to the world and is a permanent MIT activity

The Surface Geology Division conducts the traditional work of the Mississippi Geological Survey: surface geologic mapping and research into the geology, paleontology, and mineral resources of the state.

‘Earth surface geology’ considers the particular conditions created by the water cycle governing the distinctive surface geology of Earth.

Surficial deposits have characteristics important to our environment--water-bearing properties, mineral resources, and suitability as a natural foundation for buildings. They are also susceptible to flooding, erosion, ground subsidence, land slides, and earthquakes. Surficial materials are those at or near the Earth's surface.

2024年8月7日 · From watersheds and aquifers to source-to-sink sediment transport and land surface dynamics, our research focuses on processes that shape the Earth's surface, the rock record results, and interaction with hydrologic systems.
