Hydrogeology and Ground Water Management of Arid Basins
ISBN: 9783838369778 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The desert regions are suffering from the scarcity of precipitation and hence experience deficiency of reliable fresh water resources. Groundwater is the main source of water supply. Nevertheless, it is finite and should be managed carefully. The new technologies of groundwater management must be applied on desert regions. The decision-makers should be aware of the early signals of potential hazards and available resources in order to anticipate endangered areas. In this monograph the hydrogeology of arid basins is explained in detail and potential management concepts and tools is...

Experimental Studies on the Origin of Iron Deposits
ISBN: 9783838304052 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There has been a scientific debate about the formation of massive magnetite ore deposits, also known as Kiruna type deposits. While some workers have suggested a hydrothermal origin for these deposits others have suggested that they are formed from iron rich magmas. This work consists of six chapters each one related to the understanding of the origin of iron deposits. In chapter 1 a natural example from Chile is investigated. Chapter 2 experimentally investigates the effects of phosphorous and other volatiles on the melting behavior of andesite. The results show that when more than 12% of...

Geographical Proximity Effects and Regional Strategic Networks
ISBN: 9783838321813 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Positive effects on firms from being located in geographical proximity within economically successful regions has attracted considerable attention amongst researchers and policy-makers since the 1980s, when several industrial districts in northern Italy rose from the middle to the top level of regional income in Italy. Similar observations have been made elsewhere, and clusters, interaction, relationships and networks have become concepts that influence policy-makers in many countries. This thesis focuses on regional strategic networks (RSNs). RSNs are used as a tool for regional development...

An Integrated Approach to Improve Time-Lapse Seismic Interpretation
ISBN: 9783838322117 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Time-lapse (4D) seismic is a modern technology for monitoring production-induced changes in and around hydrocarbon reservoirs. Perhaps the most important challenges related to this technology are to perform quantitative time-lapse and to interpret time-lapse effects in thin layers. This book presents an integrated study of saturation and pressure effects on elastic properties. A workflow is developed to test the validity of Gassmann fluid substitution in real geological environments and it is applied on a turbidite reservoir from the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil. The magnitude of pressure...

Costa Banderas, a 300-hectare property located on the northern shore of Banderas Bay on the Mexican Pacific coast, is to be developed for tourism. Its 8-kilometer coastline is composed of three long beaches and several narrow pocket beaches that are separated by protruding cliffs and rock outcroppings. Freshwater runoff is present at seven locations along the coast of Costa Banderas through streams that vary in magnitude. Sediment samples collected along the profile lines were analyzed for calcium carbonate content and grain size distribution. These parameters show a pronounced...

ISBN: 9783838340234 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eruptions of kimberlite volcanoes are a poorly-understood phenomena, as there have been no historical eruptions of kimberlite, and primary deposits and edifices of kimberlite volcanoes are rarely preserved. In particular, the styles of explosion, magma fragmentation, and primary deposition of kimberlite remain unclear. This thesis comprises field and laboratory study of five kimberlite deposits within the A154N kimberlite volcano at Diavik, NWT, Canada. These studies provide critical descriptive and semi-quantitative data on the geometries, component variations, and relative age relationships...

Sustainable Use of Low-Temperature Geothermal Reservoirs in Iceland
ISBN: 9783838351179 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This thesis aims to study the nature of, and find appropriate production parameters for four Icelandic low-temperature geothermal fields, Laugarnes in Reykjavik, Ashildarholtsvatn in Skagafjorour, Skutudalur near Siglufjorour and Laugaland in Eyjafjorour. With this objective, first the long- term production history of each field was simulated by lumped parameter models to estimate essential properties of the systems and to calculate future pressure change predictions. After that, possible future cooling was also estimated by using analytical thermal models. Finally, sustainable production...

Modelling Water Resource Management in Lake Naivasha
ISBN: 9783838378893 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modeling Lake Naivasha, Kenya and its surroundings is an issue of very high significance because of great socio-cultural, ecological and economic values. The basin comprises a biosphere reserve, a national park with a variety of wildlife, a significant livestock activity, a very fertile land for agriculture and a growing tourism industry. The prevailing system of uncoordinated water resources management in the basin cannot sustain the ever-increasing water needs of the various expanding sectors. Therefore a strategy must be sought to integrate the various sectoral needs against the available...

Contamination of Soils in Industrial Area
ISBN: 9783838394954 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many human activities release various pollutants into the soils and with anomalous enrichment of heavy metals it causes contamination. The contamination of soils from industrial operations as anthropogenic activities has created public concern. Heavy metals maybe inhaled as dust and ingested involuntarily through food and drink as well as could be absorbed through skin. In addition, any hazardous particle in soil represents a threat to groundwater and many domestic, industrial and agricultural activities depend on groundwater resources. The present study reveals short-term accumulative trends...

Application of 3-D Vsp in Reservoir Characterization
ISBN: 9783838386959 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Development of unconventional reservoirs like tight- gas sandstones differs from conventional oil and gas reservoirs. Conventional surface seismic measurements generally do not give results that can drive the business in tight-sandstone fields because of its failure in reservoir-scale lithology and fracture identification. In this monograph we use an uncommon 3-D VSP survey done with horizontal vibrators and multi-level 3-C geophone tool to detect the lithology and fracture distribution in the subsurface.
