The current COVID-19 pandemic has created havoc in the regular workings of many institutions, such as those dedicated to teaching; therefore, there is an urge for alternatives to traditional face-to-face teaching. However, for certain subjects, such...

Crystallography concepts are usually among the most demanding subjects for Mineralogy students. Traditional onsite teaching of Mineralogy starts with physical models of crystal polyhedra and frequently also includes the observation of models of cryst...

Groundwater is considered one of the essential natural resources stored beneath the earth's surface by infiltration through various rock layers. Groundwater potential supplies almost 30% of fresh water globally, and in general, 65% of groundwater is...

In this work, we present a series of educational activities that rely on geological tools to dive into the science of core standards. In this sense, Geology is not the subject to be studied, but the educational resource: we learn with Geology, rather...

Biosphere Reserves are laboratories of sustainability that provide local solutions to global challenges. They promote research, education and the creation of communities of practice that jointly generate knowledge that may be applicable in decision-m...

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world with around 718,000 deaths in the past fifty years. This country is especially in danger for cyclones because of its location in the triangular-shaped Bay of Bengal. The scientific scena...

Groundwater can be considered a non-polluting, renewable energy source. It can be used as a fluid in industrial, commercial, and residential building heating and air-conditioning systems. Usually, the water table is deep enough, so atmospheric condit...

Change detection (CD) is an essential tool for the accurate understanding of land surface changes using Earth observation data and is extremely important for detecting the interactions between social and natural occurrences in geoscience. Binary chan...

One of the numerous fundamental tasks to perform rescue operations after an earthquake is to check the status of buildings that have been destroyed. The methods to obtain the damage map are in two categories. The first group of methods uses data befo...

Owing to the effect on people, livestock, and materials, air pollution is a global hazard. To this end, stakeholders have taken on the challenge of quantifying the environment with the use of tools and eventually using the data produced to provide so...
