Geodynamics of Lithosphere & Earth's Mantle: Seismic Anisotropy as a Record of the Past and Present Dynamic Processes
ISBN: 9783764359072 / Angielski / Twarda / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Plate tectonics has significantly broadened our view of the dynamics of continental evolution, involving both the processes currently active at the surface and those extending deep into the interior of the Earth. Seismic anisotropy provides some of the most diagnostic evidence for mapping past and present deformation of the entire crustmantle system. This volume contains papers presented originally at an international workshop at the Chateau of Trest in the Czech Republic in 1996. This workshop brought together geophysicists and geologists who work in the field of observational and...

Faulting in Brittle Rocks: An Introduction to the Mechanics of Tectonic Faults
ISBN: 9783540664369 / Angielski / Twarda / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides an introduction into the mechanics of faulting in the brittle crust of the Earth. It developed from my annual two-semester course on tectono- mechanics for graduate students of engineering geology and of rock engineering at the Technical University of Graz (Austria). In this course, it is not my task to present a broad exposition and geometrical description of geological structures, but rather to focus on the mechanical processes that produce the structures. Although this was also the aim of my former book "Mechanics of Tectonic Faulting - Models and Basic Concepts" (1988,...

Computerized Modeling of Sedimentary Systems
ISBN: 9783540641094 / Angielski / Twarda / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Computerized modeling is a powerful tool to describe the complex interrelations between measured data and the dynamics of sedimentary systems. Complex interaction of environmental factors with natural variations and increasing anthropogenic intervention is reflected in the sedimentary record at varying scales. The understanding of these processes gives way to the reconstruction of the past and is a key to the prediction of future trends. Especially in cases where observations are limited and/or expensive, computer simulations may substitute for the lack of data. State-of-the-art research work...

Velocities in Reflection Seismology
ISBN: 9789027720245 / Angielski / Twarda / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although considera bIe efforts are now being made to find new sources of energy, alI the experts are agreed that hydrocarbons will have to provide the greater part of our energy needs for a generation ahead. Exploration for and production of hydrocarbons therefore pose a serious problem for our future, as much for the quantitative satisfaction of our requirements as for our search for self-sufficiency in energy. As a direct result of improvements in technology throughout the world, geophysics has progressively enlarged its field of influence in the realms of exploration and production. But...

Coalbed Methane: Scientific, Environmental and Economic Evaluation
ISBN: 9780792356981 / Angielski / Twarda / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coalbed gas has been considered a hazard since the early 19th century when the first mine gas explosions occurred in the United States in 1810 and France in 1845. In eastern Australia methane-related mine disasters occurred late in the 19th century with hundreds of lives lost in New South Wales, and as recently as 1995 in Queensland's Bowen Basin. Ventilation and gas drainage technologies are now in practice. However, coalbed methane recently is becoming more recognized as a potential source of energy; rather than emitting this gas to the atmosphere during drainage of gassy mines it can be...

North Sea Oil and Gas Reservoirs -- III: Proceedings of the 3rd North Sea Oil and Gas Reservoirs Conference Organized and Hosted by the Norwegian Inst
ISBN: 9780792323044 / Angielski / Twarda / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The first North Sea Oil and Gas Conference was held in Trondheim in 1985 as a part of the Norwegian Institute of Technology's 75th anniversary celebration. Favourable reactions from the delegates prompted the Organizing Committee to rerun the event in 1989. The response was again very encourag- ing and led the Committee to conclude that the conference should be held on a regular basis so long as there is a demand for this type of gathering. The third conference in the series was held in 1992. The objectives of the conference series are fourfold: To bring together those who are engaged in...

The Myrdalsjokull Ice Cap, Iceland: Glacial Processes, Sediments and Landforms on an Active Volcano Volume 13
ISBN: 9780444530455 / Angielski / Twarda / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lowland glaciers are usually considered the best analogs for formerly glaciated areas and as such, many Icelandic glaciers have been intensively investigated with regard to process-orientated sediment-landform interrelationships. The Myrdalsjokull ice cap has, thus, served as an excellent "ice-age laboratory." Furthermore, a substantial effort has been directed toward understanding the interaction between volcanic activity and glacier response, such as meltwater outbursts (jokulhlaups) and sudden events of rapidly flowing glacier ice. The book reviews the following themes related to...
