University faculties and departments and academic institutions devoted to the study of geology.

Geochronology

This category is for the topic of geologic time and techniques and tools to measure geologic time.

Sites discussing the age of the earth from a Biblical perspective, including discussions of interpreting scientific observations to support the Genesis account of creation and earth history, do not belong here. Submit them to Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Christianity/Perspectives/Origins_and_Creation

The topic of geologic time and techniques and tools to measure geologic time, including radiometric dating techniques.

Geomorphology

The topic of this category is existing craters on Earth, known or suspected of being formed by impact of an object from space.

For objects currently still in space, consider the category Science/Astronomy/Solar_System/Asteroids,_Comets_and_Meteors/Near_Earth_Objects.

For speculation on future impacts, consider the category Society/Future/Catastrophes/Large_Near_Earth_Object_Impacts.

more information (editors only)

Geomorphology deals with the study of landforms, their evolution, and the processes that shape the land's surface.

Organizations

This category is for any organization or association specifically related to, or promoting the earth sciences.

Petroleum

In general this category includes web sites of interest to research scientists as well as oil and gas geologists. If a business deals only with the commercial (not scientific) aspects of the oil and gas business, it should be submitted to a category under Business: Industries: Energy: Oil and Gas.
Web sites pertaining to the use of Geology in the Oil and Gas Industry. Any activity that does not fit into an existing subcategory is listed here.

Petrology

The study of rocks, which are aggregates of minerals.

Publications

This category is for geology books, magazines, and journals.

Rocks and Minerals

Please note that rock and mineral dealers should only submit to an appropriate category under Shopping.

Rocks and Minerals includes the scientific studies of mineralogy and petrology. The category also includes web sites devoted to the appreciation, acquisition, and collecting of precious stones, including rockhounding.

Software

Submit software for oil and gas applications to Business: Industries: Energy: Oil and Gas: Companies: Service Companies: Data and Software: Geologic and Well Log

Software whose use may include oil and gas, but it extends beyond into mining and more generic uses in subsurface analysis.

Volcanoes

This category is for informational sites about volcanoes.
Please submit your site to the most appropriate category. Submitting to an incorrect category may delay review of your site.
Please submit only websites that have English language content to this category and its subcategories. If your site is in a language other than English, please submit it to the appropriate category of World.
