Synopsis

  • GeoGenome™ of sedimentary rocks and earth material is a basis for quantifiable mechanical classification based on Nanotechnology, Genetic Sequencing, Earth material history

  • GeoGenome™ is an upscaling for geoengineering applications similar to human genome

  • The identification of the fundamental physico-chemical functional units in shales (geogenes)


       

Determination of the relative positions of these fundamental units (geogene mapping and/or geogene sequencing)

Ascribe thermo-chemo-mechano behaviors to both these fundamental units and their physical 3-D arrangement (geogene expression), and describe interactions between fundamental particles to build a macroscopic behavior

The Human Genome Project involves physical and genetic mapping of each human chromosome at increasingly finer resolution.

This approach is being used in the development of high performance clay-polymer nanomaterials
