Bob and Nancy's Geotourism Site To quote the site "This site is expanding slowly. It will continue to grow as we travel, and as we have time to convert our observations into meaningful and enlightening descriptions. You will notice that most of the areas we have described are in northeastern New South Wales. That is because the New England region of New South Wales, Australia is our backyard, the area that we have chosen to commence writing about first." Field Geology Club of South Australia To quote the site "The Club was formed in 1971 to promote and engage in the study of geology by means of lectures and field excursions, and to encourage the preservation of areas of geological importance. Professional qualifications in geology are not a pre-requisite for membership. Although the study of geology is our primary aim we take a serious interest in plants, birds and animals that are encountered on our excursions, and the cosmos in general." To quote the site "The Fossil Club of New South Wales is an active group of enthusiastic people of all ages and backgrounds who want to learn and share information about fossils." Teaching Resources in Structural Geology To quote the site "Welcome to web-based teaching resources in structural geology in the School of Earth Sciences of the University of Leeds. In addition to resources created here you can also find links to other sites." "This is a 9 part lecture series for Engineering Geology 1 students at University of Sydney. Consists of slides and links for further reading." "This is a 11 part lecture series." "Video explorations of topics of interest to students of the Earth Sciences at the introductory level." Images showing geological structures on Mars To quote the site "Since our first close-up picture of Mars in 1965, spacecraft voyages to the Red Planet have revealed a world strangely familiar, yet different enough to challenge our perceptions of what makes a planet work. Every time we feel close to understanding Mars, new discoveries send us straight back to the drawing board to revise existing theories." The Royal Australian Historical Society The Amateur Geological Society of the Hunter Valley Inc is an "Affiliated Society" member of the Royal Australian Historical Society. With out this affiliation our society (AGSHV) would not exist. The Virtual Microscope (VM) for Earth Sciences is primarily an Open Educational Resource (OER). The VM project aims to make a step change in the teaching of Earth Sciences by broadening access to rock collections that are currently held in museums, universities and other institutions around the world. The Virtual Microscope allows users to examine and explore minerals and microscopic features of rocks, helping them to develop classification and identification skills without the need for high-cost microscopes and thin section preparation facilities. Geology is the study of rocks and minerals. The job of a geologist is to study the earth beneath our feet, including rocks, minerals, and other materials in the ground. Sometimes, they can use what they know to predict disasters like earthquakes, volcano eruptions, or landslides! They might also use what they know about rocks and minerals to help people build buildings with strong foundations or find valuable materials underground. Some Interesting links to sites with geological Information While this site is a licensed insurance company it has many interesting links to geological information. Some of the links are of a geological nature, some are directed to children in K1-6 while others are of general interest. Preparation and Preservation Techniques An extensive link directory on the subject of fossil preparation and fossil preservation, also with many accesses to special scientific literature. This section is part of the "Links for Palaeobotanists" link directory, https://www.equisetites.de/palbot1.html by Klaus-Peter Kelber, Würzburg, Germany |
