Geological Background

Heiyu Lake zone of Daqing is located in the southwest hollow borderland of Heiyu Lake and on the arching transitional zone of Daqing placanticline. Based on the geological background of Heiyu Lake, this paper analyzes the landform, the regional geological structure, the formation lithology and the irruptive rock and other metallogenic conditions in detail. The indispensable geological conditions for forming geothermal field in layers were summed up. Combining with the development characteristics and geophysical data of formation, the bore hole site of geothermal well and target stratum were ascertained. The four major elements of forming geothermal resources in this region were confirmed by carrying out geothermal drilling.

Geological Background

Mianyang City is located in the varied topographic areas of Sichuan Province in southwestern China and is characterized by a complex geological background. This area is prone to disasters and its varied topography is inconvenient for emergency water storage and supply. Groundwater is essential for alleviating the demand for water and post-disaster emergency water supply in this area. This study applied AHP to integrate remote sensing, geological and hydrological data into GIS for the assessment of groundwater potential, providing a plan for the rational exploitation of groundwater and post-disaster emergency water supply in the area. Nine factors, including the spring calibration related to groundwater, were integrated by AHP after multicollinear checks. As a result, the geology-controlled groundwater potential map was classified into five levels with equal intervals. All the results were validated using borehole data, indicating the following: the areas with yield rates of , 1–20 , and 20–400 accounted for 2.66%, 36.1%, and 39.62%, respectively, whereas the areas with yield rates of 400–4000 and accounted for only 20.88% and 0.75% of the overall area. The flexibility of this quick and efficient method enables its application in other regions with a similar geological background.

Geological Background

The geological background for the 1988–90 mapping project in North-East Greenland is outlined. The principal geological units represented in the region between Grandjean Fjord and Jökelbugten include rocks of pre-Caledonian, Caledonian and post-Caledonian age. Particular reference is made to the articles resulting from the project which make up this Survey report.

Geological Background

The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) continued in 1986 the systematic investigation of the geology of Greenland. The work comprises geological mapping and basic research as well as applied geology and geophysics (fig. 1). The long term purpose is to establish the necessary geological background for evaluation of the potential of the non-living resources. The scientific and technical staff of 112 based in Copenhagen and 87 participating in the field work in Greenland carried out programmes of geological mapping and investigation, glaciological investigations, and mineral and oil assessments which included geochemical and geophysical methods. In April 1986 GGU celebrated its 40th anniversary. A special publication dedicated to GGU's former director, K. Ellitsgaard-Rasmussen, was issued which covers different aspects of the Survey's work in the developments in Greenland geology over the past ten years.
