This edited work contains the most recent advances related to the study of layered intrusions and cumulate rocks formation. The first part of this book presents reviews and new views of processes producing the textural, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of layered igneous rocks. The second part summarizes progress in the study of selected layered intrusions and their ore deposits from different parts of the world including Canada, Southwest China, Greenland and South Africa.

Thirty experts have contributed to this update on recent research on Layered Intrusions....

These proceedings comprise the peer-reviewed contributions submitted to the 11th International Congress for Applied Mineralogy (ICAM) held on July 5-10, 2013, at the Southwest University of Science and Technology (SWUST) in Mianyang, China. The biennial ICAM is the most important gathering of applied mineralogists, organized every odd year by the ICAM-Council. The multidisciplinary research presented in this book will be of interest to scientists and professional dealing with topics like environmental and medical mineralogy; industrial minerals; bio-minerals and biomaterials; advanced...

Diese Softcover-Ausgabe, die ein unveranderter Nachdruck der 2. Auflage (1988) ist, halt das nachgefragte Lehrbuch weiterhin verfugbar.

Nach einem einfuhrenden Uberblick uber die Geschichte und die technische Entwicklung des Freiberger Bergbaus werden die im Bergrevier erhaltenen Sachzeugen der 800jahrigen Bergbaugeschichte bis ins Detail beschrieben, historisch interpretiert und in ihrer technologischen Funktion erlautert. In Text und Zeichnungen werden die tief in der Erde angelegten, nun unzuganglichen Schachte, Stolln, Abbauraume und Maschinenanlagen mit den noch heute ubertage...

One principal need in petroleum recovery from carbonate reservoirs is the description of the three-dimensional distribution of petrophysical properties in order to improve performance predictions by means of fluid-flow computer simulations. The book focuses on a rock based approach for the integration of geological, petrophysical, and geostatistical methods to construct a reservoir model suitable to input into flow simulation programs. This second edition includes a new chapter on model construction and new examples of limestone, dolostone, and touching-vug reservoir models as well as...

The subject of the book is helium, the element, and its use in myriad applications including MRI machines, particle accelerators, space telescopes, and of course balloons and blimps. It was at the birth of our Universe, or the Big Bang, where the majority of cosmic helium was created; and stellar helium production continues. Although helium is the second most abundant element in the Universe, it is actually quite rare here on Earth and only exists because of radioactive elements deep within the Earth. This book includes a detailed history of the discovery of helium, of the commercial...

This RiMG (Reviews in Mineralogy & Geochemistry) volume includes contributions that review experimental, characterization, and modeling advances in our understanding of pore-scale geochemical processes. The volume had its origins in a special theme session at the 2015 Goldschmidt Conference in Prague. From a diversity of pore-scale topics that ranged from multi-scale characterization to modeling, this work summarizes the state-of-the-science in this subject.

Topics include:

• modification of thermodynamics and kinetics in small pores.

This book addresses fundamental problems in the evolution of magmatic and ore-forming processes in the Noril'sk area of northern Central Siberia. Based on data on the geology and geochemistry of rocks, obtained by the author in the course of fieldworks and new analytical studies (applying XRF, ICP-MS, microprobe analysis, ion-probe analysis and studying melt and fluid inclusions in olivine, as well as stable and radiogenic isotopes in the rocks), it was proposed a new scheme for the evolution of magmatism, including two episodes: rift and trap per se. The ultramafic-mafic...
