Predicting Sea Level Rise for Miami

Mineral Rights
Posted: 17 Apr 2014 05:30 AM PDT In most countries all mineral resources belong to the government. This includes all valuable rocks, minerals, oil or gas found on or within the Earth. In the United States ownership of mineral resources was originally granted to the individuals or organizations that owned the surface. These property owners had both “surface rights” and “mineral rights”. Since then the owners have enjoyed the freedom to sell, lease, gift or bequest these rights individually or entirely to others. Now a single plot of land on the surface can have several different subsurface owners! |

Advocating Landslide Mapping in West Virginia
Posted: 17 Apr 2014 05:11 AM PDT Graduate students at West Virginia University are using LiDAR, a high resolution mapping technology, to detect and map historic and prehistoric landslides. The maps can then be used to avoid landslide areas prior to construction and identify areas where mitigation might be considered. |
Lateritic Rare Earth Deposits
Posted: 17 Apr 2014 04:58 AM PDT The Arizona Geological Survey has published Chapter 4 of the Proceedings of the 48th Annual Forum on the Geology of Industrial Minerals in their online archive. It is a paper by Mark Cocker: Lateritic, supergene rare earth element (REE) deposits. |

Real Estate Prices Near Fracking
Posted: 17 Apr 2014 04:45 AM PDT Researchers at the University of Calgary and Duke University found that homes within 1 kilometer of a shale gas well on a private water supply fell by over 20 percent in value compared to those on public water supplies. This loss can offset gains made through mineral rights sales. Related: What is Hydraulic Fracturing? |
