Through his involvement in the Council on Foreign Relations, he also gained exposure to economic analysis, which would become the bedrock of his understanding in economic policy.

Then follows a site investigation of soil, rock, fault distribution and bedrock properties on and below an area of interest to determine their engineering properties including how they will interact with, on or in a proposed construction.

Geotechnical engineers design foundations based on the load characteristics of the structure and the properties of the soils and / or bedrock at the site.

In areas of shallow bedrock, most foundations may bear directly on bedrock ; in other areas, the soil may provide sufficient strength for the support of structures.

In areas of deeper bedrock with soft overlying soils, deep foundations are used to support structures directly on the bedrock ; in areas where bedrock is not economically available, stiff " bearing layers " are used to support deep foundations instead.

( This section contains Matthew 16: 13 – 19, in which Simon, newly renamed Peter, ( πέτρος, petros, meaning " stone "), calls Jesus " the Christ, the son of the living God ", and Jesus states that on this " bedrock " ( πέτρα, petra ) he will build his church — the passage forms the foundation for the papacy's claim of authority ).

Karst landforms are generally the result of mildly acidic water acting on weakly soluble bedrock such as limestone or dolostone.

The glaciers were able to carve away more land on the eastern side of the lowland because the bedrock is made of shale which is much softer than the carbonate rocks on the western side.

Perth is on generally flat, rolling land – largely due to the high amount of sandy soils and deep bedrock.

The composition of drumlins varies depending on the area in which they are found, and can consist of similar material to the till of the surrounding moraine or be composed almost entirely of bedrock, sand and gravel or various mixtures thereof.

The terrain of the mountainous volcanic island is difficult to cultivate, so vineyards are planted on man-made terraces of red and basaltic bedrock.

They are called " erratic " because they typically are of a different rock type than the bedrock on which they are deposited.

During the 1870s, muskeg in Northern Ontario was reported to have swallowed a railroad engine whole when a track was laid on muskeg instead of clearing down to bedrock.

Depending on the amount of overburden and quality of bedrock, a galvanized steel culvert may be required for safety purposes.

Fluvial geomorphologists focus on rivers, how they transport sediment, migrate across the landscape, cut into bedrock, respond to environmental and tectonic changes, and interact with humans.

The effects of tectonics on landscape are heavily dependent on the nature of the underlying bedrock fabric that more less controls what kind of local morphology tectonics can shape.

The earliest was placed on bedrock.

The four ten-inch H beams rest on a concrete structure that extends through the Parthenon floor and basement down to bedrock, to support the great weight of the statue.

Hundreds of other organizations exist in the various sub-fields of anthropology, sometimes divided up by nation or region, and many anthropologists work with collaborators in other disciplines, such as geology, physics, zoology, paleontology, anatomy, music theory, art history, sociology and so on, belonging to professional societies in those disciplines as well.

In preparation for their mission, the Apollo 16 astronauts participated in an extensive training program that included, among other things, several field geology trips to introduce the astronauts to concepts and techniques they would eventually use on the lunar surface.

* Excerpt on the geology of Athens from: A Geological Companion to Greece and the Aegean by Michael and Reynold Higgins, Cornell University Press, 1996

On Earth, the recognition of impact craters is a branch of geology, as opposed to astronomy on other worlds.

Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man brought together Lyell's views on three key themes from the geology of the Quaternary Period of Earth history: glaciers, evolution, and the age of the human race.

He drew his explanations from field studies conducted directly before he went to work on the founding geology text.

In various revised editions ( 12 in all, through 1872 ), Principles of Geology was the most influential geological work in the middle of the 19th century, and did much to put geology on a modern footing.

Studies on planetary geology ( sensu lato ) and astrobiology also require a geoethical approach.

Various dating methods have been used and are used today depending on local geology and context, and while there is some variance in the results from these dating methods, nearly all of them provide evidence for a very old Earth, approximately 4. 6 billion years.

Abu al-Rayhan al-Biruni ( 973 – 1048 CE ) was one of the earliest Muslim geologists, whose works included the earliest writings on the geology of India, hypothesizing that the Indian subcontinent was once a sea.

Explanations: A-fold ( geology ) | folded rock strata cut by a thrust fault ; B-large intrusion ( cutting through A ); C-erosion al angular unconformity ( cutting off A & B ) on which rock strata were deposited ; D-dike ( geology ) | volcanic dyke ( cutting through A, B & C ); E-even younger rock strata ( overlying C & D ); F-normal fault ( cutting through A, B, C & E ).

Agricola described and illustrated how ore veins occur in and on the ground, making the work an early contribution to the developing science of geology.

As he studied many scientific advances of biology, astronomy, geology, and physics, Lovecraft was more and more confounded and fueled his skepticism on humanity.

He received a Ph. D. in geology from Harvard University in 1964, based on his geological field studies in Norway.

Moving to Paris he fell under the tutelage of Alexander von Humboldt and Georges Cuvier, who launched him on his careers of geology and zoology respectively.

With the aid of a grant of money from the King of Prussia, Agassiz crossed the Atlantic in the autumn of 1846 with the twin purposes of investigating the natural history and geology of North America and delivering a course of 12 lectures on “ The Plan of Creation as shown in the Animal Kingdom ,” by invitation from J.

Among the qualities that make Leonardo's work unique are the innovative techniques that he used in laying on the paint, his detailed knowledge of anatomy, light, botany and geology, his interest in physiognomy and the way in which humans register emotion in expression and gesture, his innovative use of the human form in figurative composition, and his use of the subtle gradation of tone.

Due to its consistency of climate, flora and fauna, geology and land use, " Lower Mainland " is also the name of an ecoregion — a biogeoclimatic region — that comprises the eastern part of the Georgia Depression and extends from Powell River on the Sunshine Coast to Hope at the eastern end of the Fraser Valley.

He attempted to unify and reconcile science and religion, focusing on geology.

Palaeontology lies on the border between biology and geology, and shares with archaeology a border that is difficult to define.

Palaeontology lies on the boundary between biology and geology since palaeontology focuses on the record of past life but its main source of evidence is fossils, which are found in rocks.

In time, thanks to the refinement of geology, it has been demonstrated that there were several periods of glacial advance and retreat and that past temperatures on Earth were very different from today.

It is in a sense structural geology on a planet scale, and is used throughout structural geology as a framework to analyze and understand global, regional, and local scale features.
