In metamorphic rock reservoirs, pore characteristics are relatively underexplored compared to other types of reservoirs. Current research focuses primarily on fracture characterization and well logging identification, with limited studies on the pore characteristics of metamorphic rock reservoirs and the factors influencing them. In this lab, students research metamorphic rock's the pore structure and its influence on storing oil or gas in these rocks. This is helpful to understand sustainbility of rock.Rocks with good porosity and permeability are more sustainable as they can hold larger amounts of oil or gas and allow for easier extraction. Understanding these characteristics helps in managing and conserving these natural resources more effectively.

Manhattan Schist, a rock formation in NYC, has influenced the city's architecture and urban planning. Geologists and architects study it to understand its impact on development and to compare past and present environments. This informs sustainable urban planning by highlighting the importance of geological factors in city design.
