Granite: From Segregation of Melt to Emplacement Fabrics

Read in his famous "Granite Controversy" (1957). Read's formulation of the controversy occurred at the time when geochemistry was as a new and powerful tool. The new techniques opened era during which emerging an granites were considered mainly from this new viewpoint. Geochemical signatures have shown that mantle and crustal origins for granites were both possible, but the debate on how and why granites are emplaced did not progress much. Meanwhile, structural geology was essentially geometrical and mechanistic. In...

Granite Genesis: In-Situ Melting and Crustal Evolution
ISBN: 9789048174690 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Granitic rocks are a major component of the continental crust and the many and complex problems of their origin that have confronted geologists for over 200 years still are presenting challenges today. Current ideas of granite formation involve lower crustal melting, segregation, ascent (as dykes or diapirs) and emplacement in the upper crust. In this book we suggest an alternative model for the origin of granite in terms of in-situ melting-intracrustal convection that physically determines the process from partial melting of mid-upper crustal rocks to formation of a convecting magma...

Mathematical and Numerical Modeling in Porous Media: Applications in Geosciences
ISBN: 9780415665377 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Porous media are broadly found in nature and their study is of high relevance in our present lives. In geosciences porous media research is fundamental in applications to aquifers, mineral mines, contaminant transport, soil remediation, waste storage, oil recovery and geothermal energy deposits. Despite their importance, there is as yet no complete understanding of the physical processes involved in fluid flow and transport. This fact can be attributed to the complexity of the phenomena which include multicomponent fluids, multiphasic flow and rock-fluid interactions. Since its formulation...

A submarine cable has to be laid across the straits of Gibraltar. How can its length be predicted if the depth of the sea floor has been measured sparsely along its trajectory? Fig. 1. 1. Part of the actual trajectory and sample data points An exact determination of the length requires knowledge of the depth at each point of the trajectory. But these are mostly unknown. In a geostatistical set- ting, they are considered as random and can be estimated by linear regression starting from the available data...

Cosmic Rays in Magnetospheres of the Earth and Other Planets
ISBN: 9789048180967 / Angielski / Miękka / 770 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The problem of cosmic ray (CR) geomagnetic effects came to the fore at the beg- ning of the 1930s after the famous expeditions by J. Clay onboard ship (Slamat) between the Netherlands and Java using an ionization chamber. Many CR la- tude expeditions were organized by the famous scientists and Nobel Laureates R. Millikan and A. Compton. From the obtained latitude curves it follows that CRs cannot be gamma rays (as many scientists thought at that time), but must be charged particles. From measurements of azimuthally geomagnetic effect at that time it also followed that these charged particles...

Earthquake Disasters in Latin America: A Holistic Approach
ISBN: 9789400728097 / Angielski / Miękka / 65 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an attempt to demonstrate the analytical power of the holistic approach for understanding disasters. Six major earthquakes in Latin America are used as an example: the general idea is to place disasters in a broad social and regional context. Understanding disasters is a way of understanding the social system. The idea is to show that every major disaster is unique and different. Statistical methods may be useful for purposes of risk estimation but modern disasters are "systemic" and complex. In the chapter on the 2010 Chile earthquake we discuss the tsunami and why the system...
