Thank you, Ian. I’ve sent your information to the screenwriter. She’s gotten a lot of responses, so not sure who she will contact. Thanks, Sandie

If I can help let me know – I’ve been in the business for the last 25 years mainly in Africa, but have covered other parts of the globe, predominantly on exploration projects, but also heading up operations teams.

Comment on Hydrology PhD Candidate, Tunde Olarinoye @tundeham: A Day in the GeoLife Series by Tunde Olarinoye http://rockheadsciences.com/olarinoye-hydrology/#comment-7913 Mon, 05 Oct 2020 16:14:08 +0000 http://rockheadsciences.com/?p=4389#comment-7913 In reply to Michael Kehinde.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for the comment.

We have ca. 30 springs from the UK in the WoKaS database, I guess some less famous ones also included. We continuously update the database with new datasets from researchers and contributors. If you have data from the not-so-famous karst springs in the UK and would like to share, we would be very interested in them and collaborate with you.

Thanks for your interest and hope to hear from you.

Quite an exciting blog and work focus you have.
I am keen to get access to the karst database you mentioned. I wonder if you have any examples of the not-so-world-famous karst springs and systems here in the United Kingdom.
Hope to hear from you.

Comment on Geothermal Geology Technician, Daniel Dores @RootsandRocks: A Day in the GeoLife Series by Daniel Dores http://rockheadsciences.com/dores-geothermal/#comment-7911 Mon, 14 Sep 2020 18:40:34 +0000 http://rockheadsciences.com/?p=4319#comment-7911 In reply to Naturale Desalination.

Hi, thanks for replying! Most of the work we do is related to geology and geochemistry. Our exploration focuses on understanding the volcanism and hydrogeology of the region. To date, our research has not yet included much reservoir engineering, and currently we are not involved in resource development or technology implementation.

Would love to have some converstions with you. [email protected]

Have you ever looked into 95% efficient Stirling Engine vs Steam Engine to convert Geothermal Heat to Electricity?

Any thoughts on Combining Geothermal with OTEC?

Have you ever looked into Single Hole closed loop Geothermal?

Hello sir.

Thanks a lot for taking time from your very busy schedule to answer my question. This is a very interesting answer that you’ve given and I have additional questions. I would like to continue this conversation further and I will email you soon.

Thanks again for your reply.

Regards, Joe.

Hi Joe-
Sorry about the late reply to your comment. It has been an interesting couple weeks of teaching here in Missouri. If you are interested in aviation and geology I suggest you look into remote sensing as a possible career field, mainly the use of drones. We have had a few students at Missouri State pursue this option for a graduate degree. Drones are becoming a huge part of geology and are being applied to everything from agriculture to volcanology and field mapping. Other options to combine the two in remote sensing include the collection of aerial photography, land surveys or thermal imaging of volcanoes or other geothermal sites.

I hope this helps and if you have any additional questions just send me an email.

Cheers,

Gary

Thank you for reading my post.
I have a small issue (not necessarily, but a concern) in choosing what to study in university. I would like to pursue a career in geology but I am also interested in aviation. Basically, I enjoy working in the field and not in an office and these two careers are the ones I’m interested in that fall under that criterion. My question is, can I do both of these to get a degree? I have read in other posts where knowledge in geology is being used in aviation.
And if I can do both, which should be the main focus?
Anyone with the information I seek can answer this question.

Thank you, Joe.
