No doubt...its a fascinating science. There are many divisions and subdivisions to that. I can give you the best available sources in the internet, for some of my favorite Geology related topics. If you are a person belonging to Earth Science community, I am sure you will find this page very useful

Geostatistics is the extension of Statistical techniques in Geology. It has its origins in the mining industry. Its is being actively used in the Oil and Gas Exploration field as well. Some of the internet resources in this field are

 

http://uncert.mines.edu/tutor/ ..... It explains the basic building blocks of Geostatistics with tutorials

 

http://people.web.psi.ch/kosakowski/geostatistics/  ......links to other resources on geostatistics

 

http://www.ai-geostats.org/  ..... rich resource on Geostatistics

 

To understand Geostatistics, you need to understand the basics of statistics well. The following links would help you on that

 

 

 

 

 

Neural Networks

 

Artificial Neural Netwrks are widely used in many research fields as well as in many industries. Geology is not an exception. Neural Netoworks are used for doing supervised and unsupervised facies classification using well log data or seismic data. If you are looking for some basic information on the Neural Networks, you better go through these sites

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sequence Stratigraphy

 

Techniques enabling geologist to interpret depositional history and do a better  characterization of the reservoir. This relatively new branch of stratigraphy is fast becoming a par to the essential studies in reservoir characterization. The following web links are useful
