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.

Articles in need of work

Near Featured Article status

Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event - Orangemarlin has done a ton of work to get close. Nominated now, it's in the que.

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]
  • Palaeo-Tethys Ocean page. This page is not neutral regarding the usage of the term Palaeo-Tethys (or Palaeotethys; see Robertson, 2004; Robertson et al., 2004) or its interpretation for tectonic reconstructions. I could potentially help with this. However, it is a bit of a contentious issue.
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]
Transform fault exists as well, using the singular. Cheers Geologyguy 02:46, 16 July 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 Gullion 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". The structure certainly isn't a compressional one but hopefully someone else may have a little more time or knowledge to figure it out. ClimberDave 14:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly sourced from this goverment website so maybe there is some truth in the article, http://www.ehsni.gov.uk/landscape/designated-areas/aonb/aonb_mourne/aonb_mourne_geology.htm ClimberDave 14:48, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
