Microbial Metal Respiration: From Geochemistry to Potential Applications
ISBN: 9783642328664 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Microbes can respire on metals. This seemingly simple finding is one of the major discoveries that were made in the field of microbiology in the last few decades. The importance of this observation is evident. Metals are highly abundant on our planet. Iron is even the most abundant element on Earth and the forth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Hence, in some environments iron, but also other metals or metalloids, are the dominant respiratory electron acceptors. Their reduction massively drives the carbon cycle in these environments and establishes redox cycles of the metallic... Microbes can respire on metals.

Tidal Deformations on a Rotating, Spherically Asymmetric, Visco-Elastic and Laterally Heterogeneous Earth
ISBN: 9783631439913 / Angielski / Miękka / 145 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The author applies a perturbation method to determine tidal deformations on a rotating, spherically asymmetric, visco-elastic, laterally heterogeneous and anisotropic Earth. He shows that the deviations from tides on a nonrotating spherical Earth are on the order of one per cent. This applies to the effects of rotation, ellipsoidal shape of the Earth, visco-elasticity, lateral heterogeneity and anisotropy in the mantle, separately. With respect to the effects of rotation and ellipticity he finds significant quantitative discrepancies from what was accepted so far. With respect to lateral...

Stratigraphical Evidences for the Detection of Paleoearthquakes
ISBN: 9783659205545 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Earthquake is one of the most important natural events. There are lots of earthquake researches to learn more about the earthquakes and to mitigate its harmful results. Paleoseismology is the only way to define the paleoearthquakes and to guess the possibilities for the future destructive events. But in many cases, paleoearthquake is interpreted without a proper understanding of the relationship between its size and results. To do so, stratigraphic evidences which are the mimics of the geology is used to investigate the large earthquakes during the trenching. When the stratigraphic evidences...

Ecological Systems: Selected Entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology
ISBN: 9781461457541 / Angielski / Twarda / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Earth is home to an estimated 8 million animal species, 600,000 fungi, 300,000 plants, and an undetermined number of microbial species. Of these animal, fungal, and plant species, an estimated 75% have yet to be identified. Moreover, the interactions between these species and their physical environment are known to an even lesser degree. At the same time, the earth's biota faces the prospect of climate change, which may manifest slowly or extremely rapidly, as well as a human population set to grow by two billion by 2045 from the current seven billion. Given these major ecological changes, we...

Past Climate Variability in South America and Surrounding Regions: From the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene
ISBN: 9789400730519 / Angielski / Miękka / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. South America is a unique place where a number of past climate archives are ava- able from tropical to high latitude regions. It thus offers a unique opportunity to explore past climate variability along a latitudinal transect from the Equator to Polar regions and to study climate teleconnections. Most climate records from tropical and subtropical South America for the past 20,000 years have been interpreted as local responses to shift in the mean position and intensity of the InterTropical Conv- gence Zone due to tropical and extratropical forcings or to changes in the South American Summer...

Paleocurrents and Basin Analysis
ISBN: 9783642618895 / Angielski / Miękka / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study of paleocurrents, since 1963, is now a very routine part of sedimentology, and more and more such studies are finding use in other fields. Thus it seemed appropriate for us to review post-1963 developments and present them in a compact manner for the interested reader. Instead of rewriting a second edition, which thirteen years later we would organize in a completely dif ferent way, we have brought each chapter up to date with new material up to 1976. A new update supplement has in this edition been inserted after each one of the original chapters. We have stayed close to the...

Mud and Mudstones
ISBN: 9783659210167 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lithofacies variability in fine-grained sedimentary successions is poorly known relative to that present in other sedimentary strata. In most existing models, researchers have argued that the mechanisms that underpin facies variability are produced by a combination of detrital inputs to the basin, primary production in the water column and diagenesis once the grains have been produced. In order to investigate the validity of these models, a fine-grained, mudstone succession (Cleveland Basin) exposed on the Yorkshire Coast of NE England has been investigated using a combination of field,...
