Greenhouse gas emission into the atmosphere is considered one of major causes ongoing climate change and global warming last decades. One possible tools to reduce this carbon capture storage (CCS). This work aims describe research trends main findings related laboratory-scale experiments within field CCS how that has developed over time with perspectives for large-scale deployment. The study was based on a bibliometric approach using WoS Scopus databases. 12,276 contributions were identified...

Groundwater is an important water resource that accounts for 30% of the world’s freshwater. 97% this extracted groundwater drinking and human use. Due to anthropogenic activities, affected and, consequently, its life cycle modified, changing natural state. This paper aims analyse scientific production deals with study groundwater’s Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), using bibliometric methods. Thus, it contributes evolution knowledge in terms use (environmental, economic social). The...

Ecuador has shown a growth in its scientific production since 2011, representing 85% of the total historical production. These investigations are reflected publications, which address world interest topics and serve as link for university, business, society. This work aims to analyze generated by period 1920–2020 using bibliometric methods evaluate intellectual structure performance. The methodology applied this study includes: (i) terms definition search criteria; (ii) database selection,...

The Santa Elena province in Ecuador has outstanding geological potential petroleum, mining and geosite resources. All the wealth of palaeontological samples their inherent link to history this territory require a recognised museum with educational scientific material support promotion geotourism development. Megatherium Palaeontological Museum is located was first Ecuador. It exhibits corresponding Late Pleistocene Megafauna that inhabited area. This study aims evaluate (a geoheritage...

Petroleum is a crucial resource that has globally influenced the scientific community and socio-economic development. However, its industrial processes negatively affect natural environment. This research aims to analyse intellectual structure of petroleum environment relationship in South American countries' contributions through bibliometric methods. The study presents methodology: i) establishing search criteria; ii) initial results; iii) refinement iv) data analysis. Bibliometric methods...

The Santa Elena province in Ecuador has great geodiversity potential, due to its geological characteristics and coastal marine context, as verified by publications about geosites, which have allowed the approach development of initiatives a context sustainability.The aim this article is analyze 10 geosites from comparatively using Brilha methodology, Geological Mining Institute Spain (IGME) assessment methodology (GAM) for establishment methodological considerations evaluation geosites.These...

Geothermal energy, an efficacious and readily available resource, has emerged as a sustainable alternative poised to satisfy escalating global energy demands.This study undertakes comprehensive analysis of low (heat below 100℃) medium between 100℃ 150℃) enthalpy geothermal through bibliometric approach literature survey, with emphasis on the environmental economic aspects.The methodological procedure encompasses: (i) systematic information processing configuration, (ii) assessment evolution...

From an environmental viewpoint, oil wells can be considered a potential source of pollution when improperly managed.The Santa Elena province (Ecuador), located on the Pacific coast, currently has residual crude extraction compared to production generated in Amazon region country.However, this activity coastal zone is very near urban and rural populations.Therefore, detailed influence analysis these environment necessary.This work aims analyse, from geoenvironmental perspective, impact pilot...

The global energy issue is crucial for the development of population and environmental protection planet.The agricultural sector part economic, social development.However, in Ecuador, this has internal problems due to suspension bioconversion project (e.g., ethanol production).This study aims analyse situation sugarcane production Ecuador and, through information management, search strategies.The methodology includes following: (i) analysis distribution; (ii) policies legal context...

Anthropogenic factors directly affect the geological and biological environment in different ways, whether by industrial, cultural, population, or political necessity, these can convert ecosystems to critical conditions, creating a problem for future generations geobiological sustainability. The present work has as aim determine cause-effect level generated anthropogenic activity of urban, rural industrial areas four relevant geosites, through investigation primary sources evaluation with...
