Geology. An environmental geoscientist needs an excellent understanding of the materials from which the Earth is made, the processes acting on and within the Earth, and Earth structures. The student should also have learned the history of the changing Earth through time, and how the rock record can be interpreted to provide evidence of these changes. The following competency areas will allow majors to identify and solve problems in the geosciences: Competency Area 1: Formation Of The Solar System And Earth Competency Area 2: Plate Tectonics And Earthquakes Competency Area 3: Minerals Competency Area 4: Igneous Rocks And Environments Competency Area 5: Weathering, Soil, And Mass Wasting Competency Area 6: Sedimentary Rocks And Environments Competency Area 7: Metamorphic Rocks And Environments Competency Area 8: Deformation And The Continents Competency Area 9: Surface Water And Groundwater Competency Area 10: Climate, Glaciers, Wind, And Coastal Processes Competency Area 11: Geologic Time And Rock Correlation Competency Area 12: Stratigraphy Competency Area 13: Sedimentary Environments Competency Area 14: Origin And Diversity Of Life Competency Area 15: Evolution Competency Area 16: The Precambrian Competency Area 17: Early Paleozoic Life And Earth History Competency Area 18: Late Paleozoic Life And Earth History Competency Area 19: Mesozoic Life And Earth History Competency Area 20: Cenozoic Life And Earth History Competency Area 21: Primate And Human Evolution Competency areas #1-11 are often taught as part of a Physical Geology course. Additional competencies in #11-21 are often taught as part of a Historical Geology course. See Appendix C: Competencies for Preparation in Geology.

Geology. The ocean beach of Long Beach is located in the Long Beach sub-cell of the Columbia River littoral cell🕈. The majority of the Long Beach Peninsula—including the jurisdictional shorelands🕈 of the city of Long Beach—is an accreted🕈 sand bar created primarily from sediments transported by the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, then transported northward by xxxxxxxxx🕈 ocean currents. A comparative review of historic aerial photos reveals the amount of accretion since 1889 has been just under 2,000 feet in total, and accretion has averaged approximately 15.7 feet per year. Soils. Accretion occurred in parallel north south waves from the east accreting to the west, and so the oldest soils occur on the eastern shore along Willapa Bay, and the youngest soils occur on the western shore along the ocean beach. Also, because of this pattern of deposition, soils tend to trend in north-south bands. Nearly all of the soils of the Long Beach area are sand in nature,

Geology. Xxxxxxx Field is located at the northern end of the Santa Xxxxx Valley Basin, about I mile south of San Francisco Bay. The Santa Xxxxx Valley Basin is a Pliocene-age, large, northwest-trending structural depression between the San Andreas and Hayward faults. The basin is bordered on the west by the Santa Xxxx Mountains and on the east by the Diablo Range. Regionally, the Santa Xxxxx Valley contains up to 1,500 feet of interbedded alluvial, fluvial, and estuarine deposits (Iwamura, 1980). Locally, these sediments consist of varying combinations of clay, silt, sand, and gravel that represent interfingering of estuarine and fluvial depositional environments during the late Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. The interfingering of fluvial and estuarine sediments in southern San Francisco Bay is related to world-wide fluctuations in sea level during glacial and interglacial episodes of the late Quaternary period (Tetra Tech, 1998c). The fluvial sediments were derived from the Santa Xxxx highlands west of the basin and deposited on an alluvial plain bounded by alluvial fan deposits to the west and baylands to the northeast (Iwamura, 1980). Surface geologic maps indicate that alluvial fan deposits extend toward the basin approximately to U.S. Highway 101, which forms the southern boundary of Xxxxxxx Field. Shallow deposits on Xxxxxxx Field are branching river and flood plain deposits. Estuarine deposits are found at the extreme northern end of Xxxxxxx Field.
Geology. Existing geology data pertinent to the evaluation being performed through this study, will be retrieved from as-built plan information or from investigations performed as part of the 159th St and US 69 Interchange project. No additional field borings or surveys will be performed as part of this scope of services.

Geology. The Westport landfill is situated in a former tidal marshland, consisting of organic silty clay. The lithology encountered during the drilling and sampling of the 24 monitor wellx xxxealed the following: o In those areas not covered with refuse, approximately 5 feet of fill material lies over the former (native) ground surface. The native soil is a soft, moderately plastic, silty clay of relatively low permeability that is very moist to wet.
