Geologists use a variety of methods to give both relative and absolute dates to geological events.

Geologists still use the following principles today as a means to provide information about geologic history and the timing of geologic events.

Geologists use the term " marble " to refer to metamorphosed limestone ; however stonemasons use the term more broadly to encompass unmetamorphosed limestone.

Geologists use specialised ground-penetrating radars to map the composition of Earth's crust.

Geologists use their measurements of rock geometries to understand histories of strain in the rocks.

Geologists and soil scientists usually consider the separation to occur at a particle size of 2 µm ( clays being finer than silts ), sedimentologists often use 4-5 μm, and colloid chemists use 1 μm.

Geologists use both large fossils ( called macrofossils ) and microscopic fossils ( called microfossils ) for this process, known as biostratigraphy.

Geologists use palynological studies in biostratigraphy to correlate strata and determine the relative age of a given bed, horizon, formation or stratigraphical sequence.

Geologists know the exact chemical composition of this tephra ( which they call Mazama Ash ) and both geologists and archeologists use the distinctive layer it formed in the specific techniques of relative dating called tephrochronology.

Engineers that are certified as a Professional Engineer in his or her state will use the suffix P. E., Certified Professional Geologists use P. G., Certified Professional Logisticians use CPL, and Chartered Engineers use CEng.

Geologists have tried to use hotspot volcanic chains to track the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.

Geologists and engineering geologists can also use their knowledge of earth process and their ability to interpret surficial geomorphology to determine relative slope stability based simply on site observations.

Geologists use the term Collyhurst Sandstone for this type of soft red sandstone, which occurs in north-west England.

Geologists believe that Viti Levu has been submerged a number of times, and has been covered by lava and other volcanic materials.

Geologists consider northern Alaska to be the last untouched oil field in North America.

Geologists, such as Falcon and Rygel et al., have published detailed field sketches and pictures of upright tree fossils with intact root systems, which are rooted within recognizable paleosols.

It is named after W. R. Lucy, surveyor with 1963-64 Scott Base projects, who wintered over in 1964, and was surveyor with the 1964-65 Geologists Range field party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition ( NZGSAE ).

Geologists therefore hypothesize that the world at that time was affected by a very severe glaciation, perhaps the most severe in geologic history ( see Snowball Earth ).

Geologists divide Earth's history into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and faunal stages characterized by well-defined breaks in the fossil record ( see Geologic time scale ).

Geologists like Émile Haug and Hans Stille saw the Caledonian orogeny as one of several episodic phases of mountain building that had occurred during the Earth's history.

Geologists are involved in the study of ore deposits, which includes the study of ore genesis and the processes within the Earth's crust that form and concentrate ore minerals into economically viable quantities.

Geologists, oceanographers, and seismologists analyse each earthquake and based on many factors may or may not issue a tsunami warning.

Known as the “ Dean of Petroleum Geologists " Orcutt is credited with discovering fossilized prehistoric animal bones preserved in pools of asphalt on the Hancock Ranch.

Geologists can categorize faults into three groups based on the sense of slip:

Geologists S. Day and S. Ward consider that a megatsunami could be generated during a future eruption involving the Cumbre Vieja on the volcanic ocean island of La Palma, in the Canary Islands, Spain.

Geologists and volcanologists also disagree about whether an eruption on the Cumbre Vieja would cause a single large gravitational landslide or a series of smaller landslides.

Geologists agree that Devils Tower was formed by the intrusion of igneous material, but they cannot agree on how, exactly, that process took place.

The 2007 study's senior investigator, Dr. Peter Doran, has noted as it relates to the findings that ' the American Association of Petroleum Geologists has a public position statement formally rejecting the likelihood of human influence on recent climate.

No scientific body of national or international standing has maintained a dissenting opinion ; the last was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, which in 2007 updated its 1999 statement rejecting the likelihood of human influence on recent climate with its current non-committal position.

Rogers was chairman of the Association of American Geologists and Naturalists ( AAGN ; organized 1840 ) in 1845 and again in 1847, and contributed important memoirs to its Transactions, including observations on the temperature of coal mines in eastern Virginia.

Geologists are closely monitoring the rise and fall of the Yellowstone Plateau, which measures on average yearly, as an indication of changes in magma chamber pressure.

) Geologists believe that the island emerged around 2000 BCE, soon after the sea level stopped rising, as the sand built up to form new barrier islands on the southern Florida coast.

Geologists and cartographers explored what were the unmarked regions on European maps, identifying mountains and rivers, and demarcating boundaries.

He was a founding member and treasurer of the Association of American Geologists and Naturalists ( the predecessor of the American Association for the Advancement of Science ) and served on several of its committees.

In 1893-1894 he was president of the Geologists Association, and he published many important works on geology.

Geologists have found the granite at the bottom of deep wells on the plains and magnetic sensors have detected it as much as to the east.

In 1842, he and his brother William, who was similarly occupied with a geological survey in Virginia ( his reports were published in 1838 and 1841, and he wrote also on the connection between thermal springs and anticlinal axes and faults ), brought before the Association of American Geologists and Naturalists their conclusions on the physical structure of the Appalachian chain, and on the elevation of great mountain chains.

Geologists indicate that the region of the northern Sudan is tectonically active and this activity has caused the river to take on " youthful " characteristics.
