Comprehensive Insights into Applied Geology: An InDepth Exploration

Abstract

The exploration and utilization of natural resources demand a skilled workforce equipped with a strong foundation in engineering and geoscientific knowledge, complemented by technical expertise. Engineers and geoscientists play a crucial role in the forefront of these endeavors, benefiting from their relevant knowledge and proficiency. This comprehensive overview of applied geology underscores the importance of essential skills required for the identification and description of prevalent rock-forming minerals. These minerals play a fundamental role in the intricate processes of rock formation. By acquiring and honing these vital skills, professionals in the field can effectively contribute to the successful exploration and characterization of geological resources. Thus, applied geology also encompasses earth processes, generally known as geohazards, particularly earthquakes, which negatively affect the progress already achieved. Hence, geologists must study those processes and recommend mitigation measures that are necessary for minimizing damage in geological terrains that are vulnerable to the geohazards. This paper bolsters essential knowledge and practical skills for academics as well as infrastructural development.
