Incompatibility of Geology with YEC

Faith asserts that 99% of geology is compatible with a Young Earth. I disagree.I would like to know if there are any subfields of the geosciences that are compatible with a young Earth.To get things started here are some subfields:Geophysics - sorry, home of paleomagnetism.Geochemistry - oops, radioisotope dating.Hydrology - sorry, water in confined aquifers often older than 6000 years due to model's equations.Sedimentology - that geologic column is awful deep in places for that flood.Structural - Sierra Nevada pluton took 90 million years to cool off to present temperature. Also large scale structures simply take too long to form.Historical - those plates in tectonics just never went supersonic.Paleontology - Minerology - well mineral ID seems not to conflict, but that nasty contact metamorphism and those pegmatites, hmmm.So my challenge is - name one subfield in the geosciences that does not conflict with YEC.
