Military geology
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Military_geology an entity of type: Thing
Military geology is the application of geological theory to warfare and the peacetime practices of the military. The formal practice of military geology began during the Napoleonic Wars; however, geotechnical knowledge has been applied since the earliest days of siege warfare. In modern warfare military geologists are used for terrain analysis, engineering, and the identification of resources. Military geologists have included both specially trained military personnel and civilians incorporated into the military. The peacetime application of military geology includes the building of infrastructure, typically during local emergencies or foreign peacekeeping deployments.

In modern warfare military geologists are used for terrain analysis, engineering, and the identification of resources.

The peacetime application of military geology includes the building of infrastructure, typically during local emergencies or foreign peacekeeping deployments. Warfare can change the physical geology. Examples of this include artillery shattering the bedrock on the Western Front during World War I and the detonation of nuclear weapons creating new rock types. Military research has also led to many important geological discoveries.
