Granite: From Segregation of Melt to Emplacement Fabrics
ISBN: 9789048148127 / Angielski / Miękka / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. viii debate of those earlier days has been beautifully summarized by H. H. 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...

Vacillation of Thermal Fronts in the Bay of Bengal
ISBN: 9783639344431 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The marine environment is characterized by complex interactions between the upper ocean and the atmospheric boundary layer. Oceanic fronts, particularly thermal fronts, and eddies are the most active areas for the air-sea interaction. They are the areas where two water masses, having different properties, mix. Their spatial and temporal scales range from meters to hundreds of kilometer and seconds to several days. There are several reasons for the atmosphere to be affected by oceanic fronts and eddies. Firstly as air is blown across the ocean, SST gradient, an air-sea temperature difference...

Management of Salt Affected Soils
ISBN: 9783639356489 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Salt-affected soils are common in arid and semiarid regions, where annual precipitation is insufficient to meet the evapotranspiration needs of plants. As a result salts are not leached from the soil. Instead they accumulate in amounts or types detrimental to plant growth. Salinity is the major and ever-present threat to the permanence of irrigation agriculture not only to arid or semiarid regions but also even in subhumid and humid regions. Unless salinity controlled, productivity decreases, land values drop and in severe cases the land is completely abandoned. This book entails detail...

Effect of Added Bentonite Clay on Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization
ISBN: 9783639364712 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book deals with the effect of bentonite clay on carbon and nitrogen mineralization from different organic substances under varying moisture regimes in Mollisols of Tarai region of Uttarakhand, India. Accurate modeling of soil C and N mineralization rates and their response to changing environment require a thorough understanding of the factors that control these biochemical processes. Amongst many factors, the quality of detrital inputs, soil texture and mineralogy are hypothesized to be the crucial factors that control C and N mineralization process in soils. Carbon sequestration by...

Robert Jameson (1774 1854) was a renowned geologist who held the chair of natural history at Edinburgh from 1804 until his death. A pupil of Gottlob Werner at Freiberg, he was in turn one of Charles Darwin's teachers. Originally a follower of Werner's influential theory of Neptunism to explain the formation of the earth's crust, and an opponent of Hutton and Playfair, he was later won over by the idea that the earth was formed by natural processes over geological time. He was a controversial writer, accused of bias towards those who shared his Wernerian sympathies such as Cuvier, while...
