Similar models have been applied in geological exploration and environmental studies. There semivariogram analysis (Akin and Siemens [1988], Einax et al. [1997]) plays a comparable role than autocorrelation analysis for the characterization of stochastic processes.

Trace element measurements by ICP-MS have been used for geological exploration [292]. The use of ICP-MS for measurement of precious metals in rocks has been recently reviewed [293]. Typically sample preparation includes extraction and concentration of precious metals and separations from potentially interfering elements [293]. For example, HfO+ of masses 194, 195, and 196 overlaps with Pt+ isotopes. Limits on dissolved solid concentrations to about 0.2% also limit the detection of small quantities of precious metals in the solid.

Natural zeolites were first discovered in cavities and vugs of basalts. At the end of the 19th century, they were also found in sedimentary rocks. As a result of many geological explorations, zeolite formation was considered to include the following genetic types 131... 

With geological exploration and study on minerals, more and more natural zeolites have been discovered. Up to now, over 40 types of natural zeolites have been found, but fewer than 30 of them have had their structures solved. Recently, many natural zeolite resources have been discovered around the world, and the applications of these natural species are drawing increasing attention. At present, natural zeolites are widely used in the fields of drying and separation of gases and liquids, softening of hard water, treatment of sewage, and melioration of soils. Some well selected or modified natural zeolites are also used as catalysts or supports of catalysts in industry.

Geophysics. Utilization of dynamic proton polarization phenomenon in nitroxyl radical solutions facilitated the improvement of spin-precision magnetometers by synchronizing the processes of nuclear polarization and precision measurement. Deuterated radical solutions serve as sensors in such instruments. Instruments of this type have already been produced in France. They find application in geophysical research, geological explorations and in searches for metallic objects under water. 

From Table 1.3, it is very interesting that the estimated proven world crude oil reserves have been in an increasing trend (i.e., 338.67 billion barrels in 1965 versus 999.76 billion barrels in 1995). This is due to the advances in recovery processes as well as the increased activities in geological exploration. Table 1.4 shows the statistical data for the world crude oil production by regions.

According to geological exploration data and field survey of Zhujixi Coal Mine, the mine drainage water volume reaches 150 m h. Underground coohng measures are taken in this coal mine and the water temperature is above 32 C. Considering the working capacity of the current heat pump, the recoverable heat quantity could reach 4187 kW.
