	Geology - Continental Drift - Crystalinks
		The term geology is broadly inclusive and is often regarded as embracing all of the geologic sciences.
		Marine geology - also called Geologic Oceanography, scientific discipline that is concerned with all geological aspects of the continental shelves and slopes and the ocean basins.
		Geology is the science and study of the solid matter of a celestial body, its composition, structure, physical properties, history and the processes that shape it.

	GU - Marine Geology
		Marine Geology in Sweden was born in Gothenburg and between 1947 and 1948 the Swedish Deep Sea Expedition, organised by Gothenburg University, sailed around the world in the Albatross.
		Marine Geologists carry out research on different ocean environments and sediments on the sea beds as well as old oceanic deposits which today are to be found on land or in mountains.
		Marine geologists also study tectonic activity on the ocean floor, ocean floor spreading, studies of the sea floor in connection with constructions on the sea floor, pipelines, laying of cables, building bridges, shipping lanes, harbour constructions, wind power stations at sea, and so on.

	USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program National Plan (1997)
		The Coastal and Marine Geology Program is well suited to tackle studies related to water resources and aquifers on the continental margin because of the expertise on the regional extent and composition of deposits in coastal and offshore areas.
		The overall objective of the Marine Mineral Resources Subtheme is to improve understanding of the geological, geophysical, and geochemical characteristics of nearshore and offshore mineral deposits, the geological systems in which the deposits form, and the processes and chemical fluxes that lead to mineral concentrations.
		One of the purposes of the Coastal and Marine Geology Program is to develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of the marine geology of the Nation's coastal and offshore Federal lands for public benefit.

	Marine Geology - USGS WCMG
		The Marine Geology program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) strives to increase our understanding of the geology of the lands covered by water, just as the Survey's program on land has, since 1879, worked to understand the geology of U.S. lands ashore.
		Marine geologists compile data about the topography or shape of the ocean floors, the distribution and type of bottom sediments, the composition and structure of the underlying rocks, and the geologic processes that have been at work throughout the seafloor's history.
		Using this information, marine geologists assess the mineral resources of the seafloor, predict the location of certain hazards, investigate marine geologic processes, and, in a more aesthetic sense, add to our overall scientific understanding of the Earth.

		This is an extraordinarily broad field of endeavor, often with strong interdisciplinary ties (for example, study of carbonate platforms typically requires some familiarity with carbonate chemistry in the ocean, marine biology and coral reef ecology, and physical oceanography).
		Early flooding of carbonate platforms may be characterized by freshwater peat accumulation (Rasmussen, 1989a) whereas the presence of open marine conditions during later flooding in indicated by enrichment of oxygen isotopes in organic carbon (Rasmussen, 1989b).
		There is a great assortment of topics for term papers in Marine Geology which you may wish to explore over the next few weeks.
