New Perspectives in Basin Analysis
ISBN: 9781461283515 / Angielski / Miękka / 453 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the extensive field of earth sciences, with its many subdisciplines, the trans- fer of knowledge is primarily established via personal communication, during meetings, by reading journal articles, or by consulting books. Because more information is available than can be assimilated, it is necessary for the individual to search selectively. Books take more time from the inception of an idea until publication than any of the other means of communication men- tioned. As a consequence, their function is somewhat different. Many good books are a compilation of up to date knowledge and serve as...

Accretion of Extraterrestrial Matter Throughout Earth's History
ISBN: 9781461346685 / Angielski / Miękka / 466 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Every year Earth is bombarded with about 40,000 tons of extraterrestrial material. This includes microscopic cosmic dust particles shed by comets and asteroids in outer space, meteorites, as well as large comets and asteroids that have led to catastrophic events in the geologic past. Originally considered only a curiosity, extraterrestrial matter found on Earth provides the only samples we have from comets, asteroids and other planets. Only recently mankind has started to actively collect extraterrestrial matter in space (Apollo program, Stardust mission) rather than to wait for its delivery...

Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks
ISBN: 9781461596356 / Angielski / Miękka / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The first edition of this book was published in 1965 and its French translation in 1966. The revised second edition followed in 1967 and its Russian translation became available in 1969. Since then, many new petrographic observations and experimental data elucidat ing reactions in metamorphic rocks have made a new approach in the study of metamorphic transformation desirable and possible. It is felt that this new approach, attempted in this book, leads to a better unders tanding of rock metamorphism. The concept of metamorphic facies and subfacies considers asso ciations of mineral...

Coated Grains
ISBN: 9783642688713 / Angielski / Miękka / 655 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coated grains have always attracted attention, at first of naturalists, and later of geologists, and the interest in these peculiar bodies was re lated both to their intriguing form and their significance in facies inter pretation and sedimentology and to their relevance to accumulations of hydrocarbons and other mineral deposits. This resulted in numerous publications on this subject, and the intention of this volume is to sum marize the present state of knowledge on coated grains. The idea of the book was to unite some general papers with papers reporting case studies of both recent and...

British Upper Carboniferous Stratigraphy
ISBN: 9789401042604 / Angielski / Miękka / 339 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume summarizes the results of a survey of British Upper Carboniferous sites, undertaken between 1978 and 1990 as part of the Geological Conservation Review (GCR). The GCR was the first attempt to assess the scientific significance of all Britain's geological sites and has proved a landmark in the development of a coherent geological conservation strategy in this country. To ensure that the assessments were based on a firm logical and scientific foundation, the range of scientific interest was divided into ninety-seven discrete subject 'blocks', reflecting the natural divisions of...

North Sea Oil and Gas Reservoirs--II: Proceedings of the 2nd North Sea Oil and Gas Reservoirs Conference Organized and Hosted by the Norwegian Institu
ISBN: 9789401068437 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The first North Sea Oil and Gas Reservoirs Conference was held in Trondheim in 1985 as part of the Norwegian Institute of Technology's 75th anniversary celebrations. Favourable reactions from the delegates prompted the Committee to re-run the event some three and a half years later, and it is now intended that the Confe rence be held on a regular basis as long as there is a demand for this type of gathering. The objectives of the 1989 Conference, which were broadly similar to those of the previous one, were: (a) to bring together those engaged in various geoscientific and reservoir...

Genesis and Properties of Collapsible Soils
ISBN: 9789401040471 / Angielski / Miękka / 413 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Collapsing engineering soils are a formidable hazard around the world. These difficult materials also include some of the world's most fertile agricultural soils, fostering dense human populations which are therefore increasingly at risk. Despite an impressive literature on the engineering aspects of collapsing soils, these materials are coming under increasing scrutiny by scientists in other fields. This is most evidently the case with soil scientists, stratigraphers and sedimentologists. Past earth surface conditions have a direct influence on the detailed behaviour of collapsible soils: as...

Quantitative Diagenesis: Recent Developments and Applications to Reservoir Geology
ISBN: 9789401040853 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reservoirs generally consist of sandstones or carbonates exhibiting heterogeneities caused by a wide range of factors. Some of these formed depositionally (e.g. as channels, palaeosols, clay seams or salts), others may be diagenetic in origin (e.g. carbonate or silica cemented zones, authigenic clays, karstic surfaces). The severity with which diagenesis affects rock systems results from the interplay between the diagenetic process itself and the timescale over which it operated.
The book provides a wide-ranging overview of diagenetic processes and responses in calcareous, argillaceous,... Reservoirs generally consist of sandstones or carbonates exhibiting heterogeneities caused by a wide range of factors. Some of these formed deposition...

Beaches of the Gulf Coast
ISBN: 9781623490386 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much of the world's population lives within thirty miles of a coast, and beaches are perhaps the most popular tourist destinations worldwide. The Gulf of Mexico is no exception: millions of people make their homes nearby, and many of them spend considerable time at the beach, joined by millions more tourists and seasonal visitors.
In Beaches of the Gulf Coast, Richard A. Davis Jr., a veteran coastal geologist, explores the dynamics of beach formation, providing the reader with a basic understanding of the characteristics and behavior of the beach environment and what causes it...

The South Atlantic in the Late Quaternary: Reconstruction of Material Budgets and Current Systems
ISBN: 9783642623547 / Angielski / Miękka / 722 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The South Atlantic plays a critical role in the couplingofoceanic processes between the Antarctic and the lower latitudes. The Antarctic Ocean, along with the adjacent southern seas, is of substantial importance for global climate and for the distributionofwater masses because itprovides large regions ofthe world ocean with intermediate and bottom waters. In contrast to the North Atlantic, the Southern Ocean acts more as an "information distributor", as opposed to an amplifier. Just as the North Atlantic is influencedby the South Atlantic through the contributionofwarm surface water,the...

Sedimentation and Tectonics in Rift Basins Red Sea: - Gulf of Aden
ISBN: 9789401060684 / Angielski / Miękka / 663 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sedimentation and Tectonics in Rift Basins: Red Sea - Gulf of Aden presents new case studies and synthesises the results of recent research on the sedimentological evolution of the Red Sea - Gulf of Aden rift system. This rift basin is generally regarded as the best natural geological laboratory in the world in which to study the processes of rift formation. Uplift of the rift margins in an arid climate results in extensive three-dimensional exposures of pre- and syn-rift strata and associated structures. These serve as analogues for the understanding and hydrocarbon...

Four Revolutions in the Earth Sciences: From Heresy to Truth
ISBN: 9780231164481 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the course of the twentieth century, scientists came to accept four counterintuitive yet fundamental facts about the Earth: deep time, continental drift, meteorite impact, and global warming. When first suggested, each proposition violated scientific orthodoxy and was quickly denounced as scientific--and sometimes religious--heresy. Nevertheless, after decades of rejection, scientists came to accept each theory. The stories behind these four discoveries reflect more than the fascinating push and pull of scientific work. They reveal the provocative nature of science and how it raises...
