Field Geology of High-Grade Gneiss Terrains
ISBN: 9783540530534 / Angielski / Miękka / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although there are numerous publications on the geology of high-grade gneiss terrains, few descriptions exist of how to map and carry out structural analysis in these terrains. Textbooks on structural geology concentrate on technIques appli cable to low-grade terrains. Geologists who have no experience of mapping high-grade gneisses are often at a loss as to how to apply techniques to high grade rocks that were developed for low to medium grade metamorphic terrains. Any study of deep crustal processes and their development through time should begin with examination of the primary data source...

Experimental Techniques in Mineral and Rock Physics: The Schreiber Volume
ISBN: 9783764350284 / Angielski / Miękka / 447 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Knowledge of the relation between sonic velocity in sediments and rock lithology is one of the keys to interpreting data from seismic sections or from acoustic logs of sedimentary sequences. Reliable correlations of rock velocity with other petrophysical parameters, such as porosity or density, are essential for calculating impedance models for synthetic seismic sections (BIDDLE et al., 1992; CAMPBELL and STAFLEU, 1992) or identifying the origin of reflectivity on seismic lines (SELLAMI et al., 1990; CHRISTENSEN and SZYMANSKI, 1991). Velocity is thus an important parameter for correlating...
