This my first post to  Accretionary Wedge Geoscience Blog Carnival . The current topic for AW#35 is “ What's Your Favorite Geology Word? ” hosted by Evelyn Mervine . My Favorite Geology Word Is - Isopach Definition: A contour that connects points of equal thickness. Commonly, the isopachs, or contours that make up an isopach map, display the stratigraphic thickness of a rock unit as opposed to the true vertical thickness. Isopachs are true stratigraphic thicknesses; i.e., perpendicular to bedding surfaces.( Source ) Pronunciation:  'ī-sə-ˌpak Date:  approximately 1918 Structure map includes an isopach of the reservoir with contours shown in red dashes.

Scientific Quotes

"Whereas non-scientific (and potentially dangerous) thinking starts with a premise and then looks for things that support it, scientific thinking constantly tries to disprove itself. That alone makes all the difference in the world." Derren Brown

LinkedIn Recommendation

Unfortunately you can't use your LinkedIn recommendation to apply to any Scholarships and some companies doesn't care about your online recommendation. If you want to apply to 3 Scholarships, your recommenders will hate you because of your recommendation requests. I'm thinking about establish online recommendation system confidential and validated by most of universities and multinational companies in the world. To help job seekers and students to use the power of the web to get hire or win a scholarship. I will be Entrepreneur :)

stalactites Sannur Cave is characterized by the presence of geological formations known as Stalactites and Stalagmites in a perfect beautiful formed over millions of years, about 60 million years ago dates back to the Era of Middle Eocene. Leakage of aqueous solutions of calcium carbonate saturated through the roof of the cave and then evaporated, leaving the mineral salts that accumulated in the form of deposits of stalactites and stalgmites. Sannur cave extends a distance of about 700 m, breadth about 15 m and depth is about 15 m. It’s Located in Beni Suef province, Egypt. about 70 kilometres southeast of the city. The cave is important to the scarcity of such natural formations “Egyptian Alabaster” as it is of great importance for researchers, Geologists, and Caving fans.

Cleaning the environment from the dirty oil

I watched amazing documentary film about Mega structures: Black gold fields on National Geographic Channel Abu Dhabi . Extraction of the petroleum deposit in Canada required Mega structures. Oil sands will be the future of the oil industry. Shell challenge Syncrude in better production, but Shell system for extraction oil from sands uses large amount of water, producing waste water. Officially they use this water for planting wood, but the trees required long time to grow and use this large amount of the waste water. what make me blog this post is Shell environmental engineer opinion: look at the bright side! we are cleaning the sand from the oil, we cleaning the environment from the dirty oil!! هياكل عملاقة: حقل الذهب الأسود

I delayed to blog about it, because I'm struggling lost circulation at depth 437m in limestone i fixed it previously but it revenge from us, we are now at 891m depth. It but me in bad mood to blog about what I'm thinking to improve my blog. During the online streaming of this session a pulse in my mind push me to ask; What is the best blogging service for scientist Blogger, Wordpress, etc.? you will see my question and the answer at time 48:12 Sorry geeks, it was confusing to me. Thank you for your answers. Here is the vid about that session "It’s All Geek to Me" enjoy watching [vimeo 21043520 w=400 h=225] Sorry This video does not exist. I found the best discussions for my question here on Discussing WordPress for Scientists . Also  here is my Q? on LinkedIn Answers http://linkd.in/gN3yPS. I blog to help my ca...
