Because this request was added to the microbiology section of this page, I'm guessing that what is wanted is something about the bacterial aspects of iron-ochre pigment in household and drainage water...?

Geologic time periods
- Template:Req This in concept would be a geology reference showing and including a succession of best guess maps showing continental drift effects. IIRC, data more than 2.5 billion years is lacking... so from then to present, circa 33-1/3rd Millions of years apart, would be my choice. Hence one can do a third on the hundred multiples, and go back and build the intervening maps on the rest. I also believe both 50 and 100 million years are too coarse to be truly useful, whereas the three times a hundred give some resolution without too many maps in the project.
- Template:Req Table of Major and Minor, Geologic timescale xref'd, perhaps some link to geology/geography resultant structures or features in evidence today. Try this Timeline_of_glaciation (more)

- Hydrogeophysics - Hydrogeophysics is the study of geophysical processes associated with water and contaminant transport in the earths subsurface. Techniques used to in Hydrogeophysics include electrical geophysics such as Induced Polarization, Resistivity, Residual Potential Mapping, and Electromagnetic methods. Other methods include Magnetic, Ground Penetrating Radar, Seismics, and gravity. [17][18][19][20][21][I work for a company called hydrogeophysics however the sciences of hydrogeophysics does stand alone and should be represented on Wikipedia. Therefore, I am not requesting a Wikipedia page on our company but simply a page on the study of hydrogeophysics.]
