[this paper is WAY over my head in terms of the nuance of structural geology, but still fascinating; further, I have to say: these are TRULY gorgeous, well-designed & presented, and useful geologic maps, cross-sections, annotated photographs and other visualisations (I am jealous of that level of skill, in the BEST of ways!)]

#KnowledgeByte: #Geologic #Hydrogen is a naturally occurring gas found in the Earth's crust that can be indicated by "#Fairy #Circles," which are circular, barren depressions in the landscape.

These circles may form when underground hydrogen gas pressure causes the land to rise and then sink, creating a surface depression.

#KnowledgeByte: #Geologic #Hydrogen is naturally occurring hydrogen gas found within the Earth's subsurface, offering a potentially vast, low-carbon energy source.

Unlike industrial hydrogen production, which can have a high carbon footprint, geologic hydrogen is generated and stored naturally within rock formations, similar to oil and natural gas.

Unlocking Arkansas' Hidden Treasure: USGS Uses Machine Learning to Show Large Lithium Potential in the Smackover Formation | U.S. Geological Survey

RESTON, Va. β€” Using a combination of water testing and machine learning, a U.S. Geological Survey-led study estimated between 5 and 19 million tons of lithium reserves are located beneath southwestern Arkansas. If commercially recoverable, the amount of lithium present would meet projected 2030 world demand for lithium in car batteries nine times over.

The thing about #borders humans mostly forget is that, in terms of human timescales, they are all only temporary, always changing, and in terms of #geologic timescales, they have never existed at all.
