El presente trabajo de investigación refiere a la “Prospección geológica para calizas en el sector Zambi, ubicado en la parroquia Zambi, cantón Catamayo, provincia de Loja”, abarcando una extensión de 40 hectáreas consideradas como prioritarias y necesarias para la investigación, en la búsqueda inicial de zonas de acumulación de carbonatos de calcio, determinando sus propiedades tanto físicas como químicas que presentan estos depósitos y analizar su posible aplicación en actividades industriales. Una vez obtenida la información bibliográfica mediante trabajo de oficina, se realizó la primera visita al polígono de estudio, posterior a ello se desarrolló el levantamiento fotogramétrico por percepción remota a escala 1:1000, curvas principales cada 5 metros y curvas secundarias cada 1 metro, el mismo que se utilizó de base para realizar el levantamiento geológico a la misma escala, mediante descripción de afloramientos y calicatas en donde se evidenció tres tipos de litologías correspondientes a calizas, lutitas y cuarcitas. Una vez identificadas las rocas, se tomó muestras en diferentes puntos del área de estudio y se realizó ensayos físicos como el cálculo de peso específico, peso aparente y porosidad; ensayos químicos correspondientes a difracción de rayos X, fluorescencia de rayos X y pureza de carbonatos. Estos análisis determinaron el porcentaje de CaCo3 que existe en las calizas, siendo este compuesto el de mayor importancia con un valor promedio de 77,56% CaCo3 clasificándola como una caliza impura margosa; así mismo se identificó elementos como el AlO, SIO, PO, S, KO, CaO y FeO, los cuales según sus porcentajes de concentración en las muestras, permitieron conocer el uso industrial de las calizas con el cálculo del índice hidráulico, obteniendo como resultado que su aprovechamiento es para matriz de cemento portland. Se argumenta que esta roca está relacionada directamente con la industria cementera o industria de la construcción.

The experience and contributions of Abdel Wahid Gaziry (1941-1987) in the field of vertebrate palaeontology earned him the respect of the academic world, which recognized the importance of his discoveries and appreciated his dedication and commitment to research. In his short life, Abdel Wahid Gaziry published a significant body of work on Neogene fossil mammal systematics, origins, and evolution. Among the new species that he described were the shovel-tusker proboscidean Konobelodon cyrenaicus (Gaziry 1987) and the fossil Libyan hippopotamid Hexaprotodon sahabiensis Gaziry 1987. An active fieldworker throughout his career, Gaziry collected and catalogued a wide range of vertebrate fossil remains, including mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish. The outcome of his efforts has led to the establishment of a valuable collection within the Museum of Vertebrate Palaeontology at the Department of Earth Science of Benghazi University. This collection, consisting of numerous specimens, holds immense potential for future investigations, doctoral theses, and fostering international scientific cooperation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Results of this study admitted geothermal analyses of the Jequitinhonha River Watershed, present in the State of Minas Gerais and Bahia. Available data from 182 well profiles, allowed to evaluate, through the application of geothermal methods, the geothermal potential on site. Reassessments of previous studies and acquisition of complementary data allowed advances in the regional thermal study of the region, whose limits are in the area of domain of the Orógeno Araçuaí, and a strip to the south, and another narrow strip to the northeast of the area, under the influence of the San Francisco Cráton. Variations of 8 to 40 ℃/km of regional thermal gradient and geothermal flow values ranging between 25 and 115 mW/m² were observed. High anomalies were observed in the North-Central and Northwest regions of the watershed, with geothermal flows ranging between 70-115 mW/m², values higher than the global average. These regions are the most conducive to conducting more in-depth studies in order to generate geothermal energy for the locality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mass removal phenomena are potentially dangerous because they cause damage to property and infrastructure in communities. Therefore, there is a growing governmental interest in knowing, studying and zoning these phenomena, developing projects and research that allow evaluating their behavior. In this work, the zoning of the susceptibility to mass removal phenomena will be obtained, in the vicinity of the municipality of Pueblo Bello, Cesar, upper basin of the Ariguaní River, located southwest of the Santa Marta Nevada massif. For the execution of this project, the discriminant statistical method was developed, taking into account the conditioning and triggering factors, which quantitatively determine the degree of influence that each geoenvironmental variable has on the generation of mass removal phenomena. These geoenvironmental factors were carried out by visiting strategic points within the area, in order to build maps of geology, superficial geological units, geomorphology, land cover and land use, achieving an analysis that led to the determination of homogeneous zones, failure mechanisms, characterization of drainage and its relationship with the phenomena of instability. In conclusion in the sector there is a higher category of medium susceptibility with 45.46%, followed by the low with 20.07%, the high with 17.40%, the very low with 10.31% and the very high category with 6.73%. The relationship with mass movements is higher in the very high category with 36.58%, followed by the average with 31.70%, the low with 14.63%, high with 9.75% and the very low with 7.31%.

Geology in secondary education has faced many difficulties when it comes to teaching in the classroom with a holistic, contextualized and applicable approach for students. Currently, there is a growing commitment from teachers to implement innovative teaching methods that place students as the active subjects of their learning. The Educational Escape Room (EER) is a tool within Game-Based Learning that consists of designing challenges and puzzles within a theme where theoretical contents are dynamically addressed. In this approach, students must solve a series of tests within 45 minutes and find the final key with which they will be able to leave the classroom. The present work consists of designing an analogical EER proposal on earthquakes and implementing it as an assessment instrument within a didactic unit for students in the 4th year of ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education, in its Spanish acronym).

In an anthropocynical epoch of severe environmental crisis, geoscientists have unique skills to drive the transition to sustainability. Therefore, the geological literacy of society is essential to seek solutions to major challenges. However, the formal education of geology differs considerably from the desirable. Fortunately, there are out of school organizations in charge of geology outreach. In this work, an analysis and redesign of the teaching material offered by the GeoEskolak program of the Geopark of the Basque Coast is carried out. This material is aimed to 4th grade secondary education students who visit the Flysch of Zumaia. The new "Teacher's Manual" has been developed following the strategy defined by the DBS methodology for the design of a sequence and is adapted to the LOMLOE curriculum and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Treating geosystems as relatively homogeneous units brings up the possibility of attributing to the relief, a primordial role as a first taxonomic level of landscape analysis. To apply such a form of compartmentalization in an area of the Amazon is fundamental in view of the inexistence of mappings and documents that portray the landscapes of the Maranhense Amazon. The present article aims to identify the geoforms of the Pindaré River Basin-MA, as a first level of the geosystemic units, giving the factor relief and rock substrate, important highlights. The methodology consisted in using geoprocessing techniques and methods in order to find the variables slope, hypsometry, surface curvature, slope orientation, shaded relief and geology. As a result, it was possible to identify 14 units and 27 sub-units that were given the nomenclature of geoforms, each with unique geological and geomorphological characteristics that gave rise to many of the current features of the landscape of the western Maranhão region. Tabular plateaus and mountain ranges contrast with reduced plateaus and flat reliefs of the Amazon lowlands; amidst them, fluvial, fluvial-lacustrine and fluvial-marine plains also stand out in this important hydrographic basin. From these results, it was possible to obtain a proposal for hierarchization and mapping on a regional scale, helping in possible future planning proposals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Roth’s explorations, the resulting collections many now allocated in La Plata, Zurich, Geneva and Copenhagen, and his significant contributions in geological—especially stratigraphic—and paleontological topics, are a paradigmatic case for the global history of paleontology and for the Swiss migration history in Latin America. His work included the discovery of a diverse megafauna from the Pampean region, of sites and strata in Patagonia of paleontological significance, and the recognition of a group of endemic ungulate mammals, Notoungulata. Roth’s discovery of a human skeleton associated with a glyptodont carapace is one of the first reports of the coexistence of humans with the extinct fauna of the South American Quaternary. Roth became a renowned scholar at the Museo de La Plata, which was a leading scientific institution in the nation-making of Argentina, particularly in the expansion of the Patagonian frontier. He also kept strong ties with his native Switzerland, where late in his adult life he obtained some formal training and tried to attract other Swiss nationals to work in natural sciences in Argentina. His biography sheds light about the circumstances of his scientific collection and career in the interstices between amateur and professional science, modernity and imperialism at the turn of the twentieth century.

Los procesos geológicos han sido los precursores de la formación y acumulación de minerales de interés económico en la región amazónica ecuatoriana. Históricamente, el extractivismo minero ha sido considerado una actividad productiva con fines económicos y comerciales, sin embargo, el impacto de la extracción de oro aluvial afecta de manera significativa a las comunidades locales y al medio ambiente. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el impacto de la pequeña minería en el agua y el suelo de un tramo del río Yutzupino y su relación con las actividades socioeconómicas de la población de la comunidad El Ceibo. El estudio se llevó a cabo seleccionando el lugar de estudio (se analizó una zona intervenida y recuperada y una no intervenida), los puntos de muestreo, y el levantamiento de información geológica. Asimismo, se realizó el análisis de la calidad del agua y el suelo, por último, se realizaron encuestas socioeconómicas a los habitantes de la comunidad. Los parámetros fisicoquímicos del agua indican que no es de baja calidad, pero hay turbidez y metales pesados en los suelos, especialmente arsénico. Se constató que los comuneros practican la minería artesanal como su principal actividad económica para cubrir sus necesidades básicas, se prevé que, de continuar las actividades mineras en la zona, se favorecerá la alteración del medio físico, así como la disminución de la calidad del agua y la degradación del suelo, imposibilitando las actividades agrícolas de no llevarse a cabo una remediación ambiental.

Este trabajo forma parte del Plan Museológico llevado adelante por el Servicio Geológico Minero Argentino (SEGEMAR), con el fin de recuperar y poner en valor una importante colección de rocas, minerales, fósiles, cartografías, fotografías, equipos e instrumentos de exploración, constituida por el Estado argentino a partir de 1890, con la creación del Museo del Departamento Nacional de Minas y Geología. A partir de la revisión de fuentes documentales primarias, se logra describir el origen de este primer Museo, identificando su desenvolvimiento más importante entre 1890 y 1974. Período durante el cual, el área geológica y minera gubernamental logra mantener activo el Museo, con un crecimiento permanente de su colección, debido a la concurrencia de investigadores internacionales, pioneros en la investigación geológica nacional, y a su vez, formadores de los primeros geólogos y geólogas argentinas, estableciendo la primera cátedra de esta especialidad en la Universidad de Buenos Aires.

Emil Lucjan Habdank Dunikowski - a graduate of the Lviv (Lwów), Munich and Vienna Universities, belongs to the circle of the Polish most significant scientists who specialized in Earth sciences and pursued their careers in the Lviv of the Austrian era. Sociable, diligent, and curious about the world, he devoted his time to discovering the mysteries of geology, actively developing Polish research in Galicia. While performing his research-related tasks in various parts of the globe (for example in North Africa, North America, Europe, and Russian Primorsky Krai), he satisfied his passion for travelling, delivering accurately made descriptions of broadly defined nature. In biographical contexts, the Lvovian scientist is seldom mentioned. Despite his undisputable scientific achievements and extensive travel experiences, there has yet to be a comprehensive biographical and bibliographical study dedicated to him. This article outlines his scientific profile and presents some unknown facts from Emil Dunikowski's private life and career, based on the documents obtained from the State Archives of Lviv Oblast in Lviv (Ukraine).

El currículo español vigente incluye las Ciencias de la Tierra en las Ciencias Sociales únicamente para la Educación Primaria. Dicha separación de las Ciencias de la Naturaleza no solo dificulta la secuenciación de contenidos geológicos a lo largo de los currículos preuniversitarios sino que también podría conllevar carencias respecto a la práctica científica escolar. En este estudio, de naturaleza predominantemente cualitativa, se presentan los resultados y conclusiones acerca de la presencia y diversidad de las prácticas de indagación, argumentación y modelización, así como de la comunicación, en los bloques relativos a las Ciencias de la Tierra del currículo estatal y del currículo del País Vasco. Además, se analizan también aquellos bloques relativos a una disciplina afín, la biología, con el fin de que el análisis sea comparativo; así como aquellos relativos a contenidos comunes. Los resultados revelan: i) que las Ciencias de la Tierra se apoyan casi exclusivamente en una modelización de complejidad baja, con apoyo de prácticas técnico-manipulativas; y ii) que la argumentación es débil, estando la indagación prácticamente ausente. Además, se comprueba que, de haberse situado las Ciencias de la Tierra en las Ciencias de la Naturaleza, los contenidos comunes a esta última, que son fundamentalmente ricos en indagación, habrían nutrido a las Ciencias de la Tierra en las necesarias prácticas científicas. Como consecuencia de ello, el alumnado de Educación Primaria podría no desarrollar en relación con las Ciencias de la Tierra lo planificado para el resto de las disciplinas de las ciencias naturales, así como adquirir una visión parcial de cómo se hace ciencia.

This paper explores the concept of geoethics and its application in the professional practice of geosciences. Geoethics involves research and reflection on the values and principles that underpin appropriate behaviours wherever human actions interact with the earth system. It advocates for solutions to the problems of human-Earth interaction and contributes to protecting humanity and citizens in the professional field and everyday life. After evaluating the common geoethical problem in Latin America, provide examples from three South American countries: Peru, Chile and Brazil. The synergistic action of the geoscientific community in promoting a geoethical framework is discussed. The need for transparent, quantitative, rational and repeatable analyses is highlighted to ensure high professionalism in conducting studies. The importance of providing role models for young and beginning geoscientists and correctly disseminating geoscientific information to the public is further emphasized. The ability to communicate effectively is a fundamental requirement to train engineers, geologists and geoscientists capable of addressing global issues such as environmental management, geological hazards, and energy transition. Additionally, the implementation of geoethics in geological engineering and geoscience careers is proposed to promote social and environmental responsibility among young graduates and scientists starting their careers to prevent unethical professional practices and improve the visibility of geosciences and its benefits to society. The article concludes by calling for the involvement of geoscientists in public policies for the protection of geological heritage and the promotion of geoethical values, as well as the creation of a professional group to develop and promote geoscience didactics to improve educational quality in the field.

Conectar e transmitir o conhecimento geocientífico à sociedade é um desafio aos geocientistas. O conteúdo precisa ser divulgado de maneira simples, sem prolixidade, mas também sem perder o rigor semântico científico. A geologia é uma área pouco compreendida pela população, mas a quem incute grande curiosidade com a utilização dos recursos didáticos corretos. O trabalho descreve a elaboração e aplicação de uma oficina de geociências para divulgação científica. Ela tem como base um mapa geológico simplificado do estado do Rio de Janeiro e utiliza fotografias de atrativos turísticos naturais e/ou construídos, rochas, minerais e sedimentos como recursos de apoio para ilustrar a geologia representada no mapa. Neste trabalho, relatamos nossa experiência durante a aplicação da atividade e detalhamos as principais questões levantadas pelo público participante.

A földi élet kialakulását a természettudományos világmodell alapján egy hosszú eseménylánc részfolyamataként tudjuk leírni. Jelen tanulmányban röviden ismertetjük ezt a folyamatot, kezdve a Föld bolygó, mint élettér kialakulásával, és eljutunk egészen a bioszféra mai állapotáig. Emellett áttekintünk néhány teológiai teremtéstörténetet azzal a céllal, hogy kapcsolódási pontokat találjunk a természettudományosan leírt és elfogadott eseménysorozattal. A tanulmány első részében azonosítjuk a földi környezeti rendszer azon elemeit, melyek elengedhetetlenül szükségesek az élet fenntartásához. Megvizsgáljuk az életfeltételek kialakulásának és időbeli változásának folyamatát, majd összevetjük ezeket az ismereteket az Ószövetség, a Korán és egy amerikai őslakos törzs teremtéstörténeteivel. A következő részben az élet természettudományos definícióját és az élő szervezet kialakulásának folyamatát mutatjuk be. Végezetül megnézzük, hogyan népesítették be a Földet a kezdetben létrejött vagy teremtett életformák. A tanulmány segítséget nyújt ahhoz, hogy a földtani, kémiai és biológiai evolúció folyamatos láncolatához tudjuk kapcsolni az ószövetségbeli teremtési tevékenység egyes pontszerű eseményeit.

Los expertos han constatado una pérdida de interés hacia la geología de la población en general que podría estar relacionada con su exclusión progresiva en el currículo básico en la educación obligatoria. Sin embargo, es necesario que el alumnado que finaliza la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) adquiera una correcta alfabetización en Ciencias de la Tierra, en la que entender los procesos geológicos externos y su acción en el relieve es un contenido clave. Este estudio ha evaluado qué procesos geológicos externos se enseñan en la ESO de la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco, mediante el análisis de los libros de texto más utilizados y la realización de cuestionarios al profesorado. Ambas fuentes revelan que el estado actual de su enseñanza muestra deficiencias y necesita mejoras, tales como dedicarle el tiempo y espacio que le corresponde o mejorar la calidad de los textos empleados.

El Myotragus, el mamífer endèmic extint del Pliocè i Quaternari de les Gimnèsies (Menorca, Mallorca, Cabrera i Dragonera), es pot utilitzar com a nexe d’unió entre la Geologia i Biologia a 1r de batxillerat, encara que és pot utilitzar a qualsevol nivell educatiu. La seva descobridora, la naturalista gal·lesa Dorothea Bate, és un model de científica. Va ser la primera dona contractada pel Natural History Museum de Londres.

O presente artigo pretende traçar os passos para a elaboração de um glossário trilíngue português ↔ inglês ↔ espanhol para a área de Geologia de Barragens, com base em corpora comparáveis; e converter os dados em tarefas de Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP), especialmente desenvolvidas para serem utilizadas nos anos iniciais da formação em Tradução com o formato de jogos didáticos. Tal trabalho justifica-se pela crescente demanda de estudos frente aos acidentes da Vale do Rio Doce em Brumadinho e Mariana (MG-Brasil). Assim, com o uso do programa Sketch Engine processamos os corpora e selecionamos as palavras-chave que serviram de base para a escolha dos termos simples e compostos e de seus correspondentes. Revisitamos os Estudos da Tradução Baseados em Corpus e a Terminologia, além de teorizações sobre Tradução Pedagógica e Enfoque por Tarefas. Encontramos exemplos como: “cisalhamento”/ corte/ shear e “solo”/ suelo/ soil que originaram a fonte para duas atividades de reconhecimento de termos no conjunto de línguas em análise.

The earliest studies of the Moon consisted of observations from Earth and meteorites containing lunar material. As technology progressed, the observations were made using remote sensing techniques. The next stage of the Moon reconnaissance consisted of unmanned flights, and later manned flights, with the help of which, in-situ tests were performed. The obtained materials enable the formulation of conclusions both about the geological structure and the mineral resources of the moon. The latest maps provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and NASA Planetary Data System (PDS) enable a detailed analysis of the geological structure of the moon. Since they are available in shapefile format for QGIS and ArcGIS software, they can be freely modified and processed. On the basis of these, it is possible to analyze the complexity of the geological structure of the moon, especially with regard to the structure of its substrate and the surface covered with craters. Data obtained from the observation of the Moon with the use of research satellites and research carried out during landings related to the collection of samples enabled the formulation of conclusions about the raw materials present there. These raw materials are related to the surface layer of the so-called regolith, the recognition of which is relatively good because it is based not only on remote studies but also on the basis of collected samples. Additionally, there are indications of the possible presence of mineral resources related to the substrate, but its recognition is relatively poor because it is based on remote and geophysical surveys. The presented analysis shows that the Moon has such minerals as rare earth elements (REE) and Th and U found in the KREEP area. Fe and Ti are found to be in basaltic lava flows occurring in the mares and aluminum, silicon and Helium-3 occur in the regolith. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Engineering geological conditions include the nature of rock and soil, geological structure, landform, hydrogeological conditions, and adverse geological processes. Among them, faults, fissures, folds, karst, and lithology changes seriously affect the safety and construction cost of mountain tunnels, hydraulic tunnels, and other projects. For this reason, a new method based on feature fusion is proposed to detect the geological anomalies in London and Sheffield. It established a 3D raster data model oriented to attribute information modeling and visualization of urban underground space to obtain geological data. Based on this acquired data, authors adopted the feature-level fusion extraction method based on the multi-attribute geological abnormal body to extract, fuse, fill and surface the multi-attribute data of underground space geological data. Smooth processing can realize the detection of abnormal geological bodies in underground space. It has been proved that this method can be used in geological data display, feature extraction, feature fusion, and abnormal physical examination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The foundation of the Universidad Nacional de los Estados Unidos de Colombia in 1868 occurred almost a decade after the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species (1859); in the Escuela de Ciencias Naturales, courses were given that included themes of plant geography, geology and paleontology. ¿Would these courses follow the paradigm of natural history inherited from the botanical expedition of the Nuevo Reino de Granada, or would they be contextualized in the modern biological tradition, interpreting nature within the background of evolutionary theories that emerged during the 19th century? This investigation consulted primary and secondary historical sources to determine if between 1868 and 1875, the mentioned courses had an essentialist-catastrophist, or a Lamarckian or Darwinian evolutionist background. The analysis allowed us to conclude that these courses had as primary sources French and Spanish texts, particularly De Candolle and Orbigny, and circumscribed to the mainly catastrophic and essentialist French school. Although the courses could discuss some issues related to the origin of species, surely, they did not do so in a Darwinian context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
