Document Summary
Much eg today: statement/id of problem, proposed solution geoscience excellent for purpose: basically an historic science and predictive science. Bacteria study exponential growth in finite environment: growth by division 1 =>2, 2 =>4, assume division time = 1 minute, 1 bacterium in bottle at 11 pm, bottle is full at 12 noon. But at 11:58 --> massive effort to find more resource. Lsd/section/twp/range system: basis for all eg, base other maps/visualization surface deposits & properties bedrock properties (dip, strike, composition etc. ) Geologic maps: know how to locate a position on a topopmap from western canada (handout: low. Floodplain analysis, landslides/slumping, water resources and hydrologic hazards, construction re- straints, depth to bedrock, nature of sediment. Key to remember - interpretation (unlike topi, soils, etc. : na: 95% covered by surgical sediments only 25% detailed surface maps. Why? people only cared about finding resources (oil, gas, metals, etc. )
