Atlas of Minerals and Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks in Thin-Section
The Atlas of Minerals and Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks in Thin-section provides the geology student and geoscientist with a stunning new color atlas of the main rock-forming minerals and igneous and metamorphic rocks in thin-section. It showcases minerals in various settings and degrees of alteration and preservation to allow users to best identify their own specimens in practice. Chapters highlight the distinctive characteristics used to identify different minerals. Building on this base, following chapters describe rock textures and types, summarising their petrogenesis within a plate tectonic framework. This book also includes insights into how information from photomicrographs can be studied using modern analytical methods, increasing understanding of geological processes. This Atlas is an indispensable reference textbook for all facilities that use a petrographic microscope, for professional geoscientists, and as an aid for any student studying minerals and rocks.
Structural Geology
This market-leading textbook has been fully updated in response to extensive user feedback. It includes a new chapter on joints and veins, additional examples from around the world, stunning new field photos, and extended online resources with new animations and exercises. The book's practical emphasis, hugely popular in the first edition, features applications in the upper crust, including petroleum and groundwater geology, highlighting the importance of structural geology in exploration and exploitation of petroleum and water resources. Carefully designed full-colour illustrations work closely with the text to support student learning, and are supplemented with high-quality photos from around the world. Examples and parallels drawn from practical everyday situations engage students, and end-of chapter review questions help them to check their understanding. Updated e-learning modules are available online (www.cambridge.org/fossen2e) and further reinforce key topics using summaries, innovative animations to bring concepts to life, and additional examples and figures.
Conservation and Restoration of Historic Mortars and Masonry Structures
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations and applications in the field of historic mortars and masonry structures conservation and restoration, as presented by international researchers and professionals at the 6th Historic Mortars Conference (HMC), held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on September 21–23, 2022. It covers topics such as characterization of historic mortars and masonry structures—sampling and test methods; historic production, processing and application of mortars, renders and grouts; assessment of historic renders and plasters; conservation and preventing conservation case studies; repair mortars and grouts—requirements and design, compatibility issues, durability and...
Geodynamics of the Alps 2
Geodynamics of the Alps consists of three volumes. This second volume presents the pre-collisional history of the Alps. It discusses the Variscan orogeny in the Alpine realm, the inferred paleo-geography, the structure and processes affecting continental margins and the mantle structure in the pre-orogenic Alpine realm. It concludes by describing oceanic and continental subduction processes. The aim of this book is to create a space for experts on Alpine research to present the state of the art of specific subjects and provide their own interpretations.
Encyclopedia of Geology
Encyclopedia of Geology, Second Edition presents in six volumes state-of-the-art reviews on the various aspects of geologic research, all of which have moved on considerably since the writing of the first edition. New areas of discussion include extinctions, origins of life, plate tectonics and its influence on faunal provinces, new types of mineral and hydrocarbon deposits, new methods of dating rocks, and geological processes. Users will find this to be a fundamental resource for teachers and students of geology, as well as researchers and non-geology professionals seeking up-to-date reviews of geologic research. Provides a comprehensive and accessible one-stop shop for information on the subject of geology, explaining methodologies and technical jargon used in the field Highlights connections between geology and other physical and biological sciences, tackling research problems that span multiple fields Fills a critical gap of information in a field that has seen significant progress in past years Presents an ideal reference for a wide range of scientists in earth and environmental areas of study
Geochemistry
A Comprehensive Introduction to the “Geochemist Toolbox” – the Basic Principles of Modern Geochemistry In the new edition of William M. White’s Geochemistry, undergraduate and graduate students will find each of the core principles of geochemistry covered. From defining key principles and methods to examining Earth’s core composition and exploring organic chemistry and fossil fuels, this definitive edition encompasses all the information needed for a solid foundation in the earth sciences for beginners and beyond. For researchers and applied scientists, this book will act as a useful reference on fundamental theories of geochemistry, applications, and environmental sciences. The ne...
Geologia estrutural - 2ª edição
Ricamente ilustrado e totalmente colorido, o livro Geologia Estrutural é resultado de uma preocupação do autor, o geólogo norueguês Haakon Fossen, em estabelecer um equilíbrio entre as abordagens geralmente encontradas sobre o tema. O objetivo era dar o mesmo destaque à deformação plástica ou dúctil (geralmente enfatizadas em livros de geologia) e à deformação rúptil, especialmente relevante para cursos que abordam a geologia do petróleo e da exploração de recursos hídricos. A obra estabelece, assim, uma relação muito próxima entre conteúdo e prática, que se complementa com variados exemplos, imagens de campo e esquemas explicativos. Partindo dos conceitos de geologia...
Geokimia Serpentinisasi, Ultramafik dan Potensi Sumberdaya Mineral di Sulawesi Selatan – Sulawesi Tenggara (Hasil Penelitian Disertasi)
Sejauh ini batuan ultramafik hanya dikenal sebagai bagian dari mekanisme tektonik dan sumberdaya mineral nikel laterit. Padahal ada banyak sumberdaya mineral yang terkandung di dalamnya, apakah sebagai endapan primer maupun endapan residual. Memang hanya endapan nikel laterit yang dikenal oleh sebagian pemerhati ilmu kebumian bahkan sampai masyarakat umum. Ini ada benarnya, karena saat ini potensi nikel laterit diproduksi semaksimal mungkin guna memenuhi produksi dunia. Maka benar pula bila masyarakat pemilik lahan untuk ditambang hanya mengenal nikel laterit. Inilah yang menjadi alasan bagi saya untuk merangkum kembali hasil penelitian utamanya hasil penelitian disertasi yang diwujudkan dalam buku ini. Garis besar isi buku ini untuk memudahkan bagi masyarakat luas mengenal lebih banyak sumberdaya mineral logam maupun non logam yang terkandung di dalam batuan ultramafik.
