*[[Ring of Guillion]] - some of my family live near by so I was having a read up, the article is a little weird I briefly spoke with Prof. G. Fitton about the structure a year or two back and from that I was lead to believe that the structure was simply an excellent example of a Ring Dyke resulting from Caldera collapse not "practically unique globally ..[sic]..when a collision of two massive plates may have dislodged into the earth’s mantle an enormous pluton that had intruded into the bottom of the crust at this point". The structure certainly isn't a compressional one but hopefully someone else may have a little more time or knowledge to figure it out. [[User:Climberdave|ClimberDave]] 14:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Geology, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of geology. For more information on WikiProjects in general, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects.

Goals

Scope

  • All articles included in the Category:Geology technically fall within the scope of this project. We acknowledge and are grateful for the efforts of other projects dealing with specific areas of geology, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Volcanoes, and will focus this project's attention primarily on those articles which do not fall within the scope of any of these related projects.

Warlordjohncarter (talk · contribs) primarily project maintenance activities rather overextended, but will help where I can
Geologyguy (talk · contribs) General, vandal patrol Will try to add content
Climberdave (talk · contribs) Well geology really I guess Capable of adding and updating on previous topic, little new to the whole creating pages thing
Blueschist (talk · contribs) metamorphic petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, subduction zones...and general stuff it's tough to dedicate time since I'm busy at work, but I watch these pages plus lots of rock stuff. I'll look around for a page needing attention.
Zamphuor (talk · contribs) General, with some leaning towards "soft rocks" and stuff related to impact cratering Don't have much time to devote, but hope to be periodically active
Tillman (talk · contribs) Economic geology, geochemistry, mining geology, history of geology & mining I've been adding some new pages, and have recently cleaned up and added to the

List of geologists. I'll continue to be active as time permits.

MeanStreets (talk · contribs) I'm currently working in the petoleum industry, just graduated uni with a geology degree, geophysics, sedimentology, seismology, plate tech, petroleum play, i'm busy finding that oil but i have some free time at weekends. ask me to do something and i'll probably say yes.
Hike395 (talk · contribs) American cordillera I've helped write some general overview articles.
Solarapex (talk · contribs) Project maintenance activities My apologies to the members for calling for the creation of this project and doing nothing. Tragic events pulled out my attention from Wikipedia. Thanks to Warlordjohncarter for picking up.
maveric149 (talk · contribs) Geology of the various provinces and parks of North America Written most of the geology of U.S. national parks articles along with some articles on American volcanoes and provinces. Would like to help get all eon and period articles to GA/FA quality. Long term: help get all geology-related topics listed at WP:VITAL featured.
Think outside the box (Talk - Contribs) all
Mikenorton (talk · contribs) happy to be involved as a contributor
Snoop0x7b (talk · contribs) Igneous petrology and some soil geochemistry
AstroHurricane001 (talk · contribs) Sourcing and additions to extant articles, some creation
Bejnar (talk · contribs) History of Geology, New Mexico, volcanoes, biography, Quaternary, overextended as well, but please feel free to ask for factual sourcing as I am near a good geology library
Graeme Bartlett (talk · contribs) Ediacaran and Australian region
Eve Hall (talk · contribs) Volcanology, remote sensing, geophysics Will probably mostly end up vandal-swatting, but will try to contribute when I can.
arkuat (talk · contribs) Primarily interested in geologic timescale and history of Earth. Curious but not knowledgeable about theories of petroleum origin.
Qyd (talk · contribs) Oil and gas, soft rock, stratigraphy Would like to start a wikiatlas of stratigraphy for WCSB
Emperorbma (talk · contribs) Mainly to help bring the Geologic timeline project under the umbrella of this project.
Verisimilus (talk · contribs) Early life, macroevolution, palæontology (except dinosaurs) I've wasted enough time on geology articles, I suppose I may as well be part of the project...
Kaleksic (talk · contribs) Planetary Geology, Impact cratering
GeoWriter (talk · contribs) most topics especially volcanoes

Categorization

The root category for this WikiProject is Category:Geology. Please place any and all new articles in the appropriate category or subcategory.

The following subcategories are suggested

Departments

Recognized content

Good articles

Did you know (DYK)s

Resources

Articles in need of work

Near Good Article status

The following articles are almost ready for GA-nomination - if someone wants to put in a little work they could take them there!

  • Ice age - a comprehensive article, needs considerable honing
  • Pages needing attention (Geology)
  • Subduction currently okay, however structure of the article needs work. Also lacks information regarding theories of subduction initiation which strikes me as a neccessary addition. As stated on the talk page the current graphic is incorrect (even though it appears to be supplied by the USGS) I'm currently working on a replacement but its going to take a little more time (finals for the next 2 weeks) ClimberDave 10:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see most of these have been set up already; I'll look at adding some images from my fieldwork there. MeanStreets "...Chorizo..." 14:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is only indirectly an article for talus (scree) and no article for pediment (Wikipedia was still the first hit for pediment though, because of the classical kind (pediment) ). I came to find out the difference between the two and saw the absence. 65.96.190.159 13:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


  • Ring of Guillion AONB - some of my family live near by so I was having a read up, the article is a little weird I briefly spoke with Prof. G. Fitton about the structure a year or two back and from that I was lead to believe that the structure was simply an excellent example of a Ring Dyke resulting from Caldera collapse not "practically unique globally ..[sic]..when a collision of two massive plates may have dislodged into the earth’s mantle an enormous pluton that had intruded into the bottom of the crust at this point".
