Temporal and Spatial Patterns in Carbonate Platforms
ISBN: 9783540562313 / Angielski / Miękka / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Combining field research of outcrop geology with investigations of the recent formation of carbonate rocks in coastal environments, the author presents an introduction to sequence stratigraphy. Using computer simulations, the book focuses on four areas: the geometry of carbonate wedges; sequences comparable with geotectonic cycles; their influence by geoidal pulses; and the determination of these geoidal pulse distributions in geologic time.

Pyroclastic Rocks
ISBN: 9783540513414 / Angielski / Miękka / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Pyroclastic Rocks is the first modern comprehensive treatment of what they are and how they were formed. The subject is discussed against a background of plate tectonics theory and modern advances in volcanology, sedimentology and igneous petrology. The book provides a thorough discussion of magmatic volatiles and pyroclastic processes as well as magma-water interactions. Most of the book is concerned with the wide spectrum of pyroclastic rocks formed on land and under water and by fallout and various flowage mechanisms. Diagenetic processes by which pyroclastic particles are...

Soils of the Past: An Introduction to Paleopedology
ISBN: 9780044457572 / Angielski / Miękka / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Landscapes viewed from afar have a timeless quality that is soothing to the human spirit. Yet a tranquil wilderness scene is but a snapshot in the steady stream of surficial change. Wind, water and human activities reshape the landscape by means of gradual to catastrophic and usually irreversible events. Much of this change destroys past landscapes, but at some times and places, landscapes are buried in the rock record. This work is dedicated to the discovery of past landscapes and their life through the fossil record of soils. A long history of surficial changes extending back almost to the...

Metamorphic Geology: An Introduction to Tectonic and Metamorphic Processes
ISBN: 9780045510580 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is about metamorphic rocks: the processes involved in their formation and the reasons why they occur at particular places on the continents. It has been written to serve as an elementary text on the subjects of metamorphism and mountain building for non-specialist stu- dents of geology. It will be equally useful where geology is either the main or subsidiary subject and could be used by students intending to advance further in geology (the list of advanced texts in the further reading section would be more appropriate to such students). My inten- tion in writing this book has been...

Metamorphic Processes
ISBN: 9780045520206 / Angielski / Miękka / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is for senior undergraduate or postgraduate students who want an insight into some modern approaches to metamorphic petrology. Its aims are to explain, in reasonably simple, informal terms, the processes underlying (i) metamorphic reactions and (ii) the production of micro- structures in metamorphic rocks, these currently being the things that interest me most, geologically. The first aim requires discussion of equilibrium factors, reaction kinetics and reaction mechanisms, empha- sising both the complexity of realistic reactions and the need to combine the chemical and...

Granulites and Crustal Evolution
ISBN: 9780792307891 / Angielski / Twarda / 585 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Granulites are, by definition, rocks that crystallized at high temperatures. It is generally agreed that they were formed in regions where the geothermal gradient exceeded normal continental values. These rocks commonly display coronitic mineral fabrics which may be used to trace the thermal and geodynamic history of the continental crust. In the same way that eclogites provide information on the earliest stages of some orogenic episodes, granulites usually tell us about later events, including thermal anomalies, thermal reequilibration, CO streaming, crustal melting, and 2 differentiation of...

The Sedimentology of Chalk
ISBN: 9783540589488 / Angielski / Miękka / 197 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Sedimentology of Chalk describes processes that caused the rhythmic, vertical variation in grain size, structures and authigenic mineral concentrations. Special attention is given to Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary, subtropical, shallow marine, fine-grained, detrital bioclastic carbonates of northwest Europe. Numerical models are presented that enable the simulation of the genesis of flint nodule layers, hard grounds and complex wavy bedded sequences, such as the K/T boundary sequence of Stevns Klint (Denmark). The book is of interest to sedimentary geologists working on...

Biolaminated Deposits
ISBN: 9783540179375 / Angielski / Miękka / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book deals with microbial mats, stromatolites and coated grains. Recent and ancient stromatolitic ecosystems are described in peritidal environments, including siliciclastic, carbonaceous and evaporite-dominated back-barrier systems. Various relevant categories were distinguished: - mat-forming microbiota - environmental conditions controlling mat types and lithology - bioturbation and grazing. Recent and ancient microbial mat systems show a latitudinal arrangement which can be used for paleoclimatological and paleogeographical reconstructions. This book should be of special interest to...
