Declining or Waning
- Traditional Geological Surveys:
Papers focused solely on traditional geological surveys, without integrating modern methodologies like remote sensing or machine learning, have become less common as the field evolves towards more innovative approaches. - Historical Geological Studies:
Research primarily centered on historical geology, such as stratigraphic descriptions without contemporary relevance or application, appears to be waning as the focus shifts to current environmental issues and applications. - Basic Mineralogy without Environmental Context:
Studies that explore mineralogy in isolation, without linking findings to environmental issues or applications relevant to society, are less frequently published, indicating a shift towards applied research. - Purely Theoretical Geophysics:
Theoretical studies in geophysics, lacking practical applications or empirical validation, are becoming less favored in light of the growing demand for applied research that addresses real-world problems.
