In this paper an analysis is carried out on the phases that characterize the acquisition of structural-geological knowledge and related different levels of uncertainty. Methodologies to represent geological uncertainty in GIS databases
The Monte Santa Maria Tiberina ridge consists of a stack of Late Oligocene-Middle miocene siliciclastic turbidite successions belonging to the Tucsan and Umbria domains. In this work a new geological map of the area is presented, based on a review
Evolution of the lowest amazon basin modeled from the integration of geological and SRTM topographic data
Morphologic features obtained from Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data, integrated with geologic information, are emphasized in this paper in order to provide the basis for understanding the development of the lowest Amazon drainage basin
, focusing on the history of one of the largest Amazonian tributaries, The Tocantins River, and on the origin of the Marajó Island, throughout the Quaternary. It is also discussed how tectonic reactivations have contributed to the geological evolution
The paper gives a brief historical overview of urban geological activities in Budapest, emphasising those aspects of urban development where geological expertise may be a crucial importance. - (AM)
The rapidly expanding field of forensic geoscience derives its roots from nineteenth- and early twentieth-century. Forensic geoscience borrows much, but not all, of its precepts from geological and geomorphological analytical techniques. Forensic

In this review, the AA. first outline approaches that estimate climate sensitivity using instrumental climate observations (post-1850) and then summarize attempts to use the record of climate change on geological timescales. The AA. examine
The A. reports on the studies in Dorog town and its environs to trace scenarios of accumulation and mobilization of pollutants by geological entities in the case of emergency release. - (AM)
This investigation focuses on the geological characteristics of the Caserta town area and, through the analysis of data from subsurgace and field surveys, it aims at defining more precise stratigraphic constraints on the northeastern region
of the Plain. Geological data derive from the study of some 300 lithostratigraphic logs from boreholes reaching a 60 m maximum depth. Deeper lithological data were obtained from boreholes drilled for hydrogeological surveys. The stratigraphic data have been
stored in a MS Access database. Processing of the data into a Geographic Information System (GIS) project has allowed the construction of a digital surface model (DMS) of the bottom and top of the subsurface units. Knowledge of such a geological setting
In this study area, the genesis of the deformation is evaluated from the analysis of the geologic setting, the stratigraphic distribution and the depositional conditions of the deformed sediments, coupled with the geometry and kinematics
geological response affecting erosional equilibrium in high-relief tectonically stable terrains. Climatically forced base level changes will, over time, control sediment storage, removal or reworking in the valleys.
The results of a structural geological survey of the central area of the Amantea Basin are reported in the present paper. The A. demonstrates the presence of an alternation of synformal and antiformal folds with a wave length of about 2 km
). The construction of “Europe”- propagated by politics and media- as a natural continent and/or as a continent of European civilization is untenable: neither geological, nor socio-cultural limits can be used for a sufficient exclusion of Turkey. (IfL)
