Does anyone have any recommendations for a Geoscience periodical? Are there any that are considered the gold standard of Geological magazines?

Good Point.
There are two questions.
Which molecule is the most polar.
Which molecule has the most polar bonds.
CF4 has the most polar bonds, but the molecule is symmetric, and thus non polar.
-C≡N (or HCN or NaCN) would be the most polar molecule.
JimBob worked in hydrology. I only know enough to be dangerous.
JimBob, I thought you were one of those evil oil types.
I am - but if it is subsurface hydro-geology I can do it without much of a problem - almost in my sleep. Just several LESS layers of complexity. I do not need to worry which phase of the fluids in the system are the most, next and least significant. There is only one fluid to consider - water - and thus the Darcy Equation becomes SOOOOO much more simple.
In the oil biz there are water-wet reservoirs, oil wet reservoirs and, rarely, mixed. Then there is the pressure equilibrium to consider - when does gas become liquid and what does that do to the system? How much of a water drive is present and can it be quantified? What is the paraffin content of the hydrocarbon and how much will it influence the economics of production (not all can be sold as "Petroleum Jelly." Someone invented KY)
Just water is so much more simple.
Come on guys stop arguing and be gneiss to each other.
Sorry... but that's the only geologist joke I know and I couldn't resist the opportunity post it.

Which part of the Hudson River are you referring to?
Leila K. asked the Naked Scientists:
If the Hudson river was formed by a glacier,why does it have salt-water?
What do you think?
Mandarin, Portuguese, or maybe one of the Indian dialects
And yes, Mandarin is very much a challenge to learn. Unfortunately I committed to Spanish...ugh. Portuguese may have been a better choice because Brazil is an emerging power...especially in oil.
Similar to the oil business, mining and exploration tends to boom and bust cycles.
With that being said, find a field that you love.
