Petrography to Petrogenesis
This process-oriented book combines optical mineralogy with petrography and petrology. It covers all rock types. It focuses on the study of the behavior of rocks in response to geological processes. In addition to covering common igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, it also examines weathered, hydrothermally altered, and low-temperature precipitative and deformed rocks. It covers all rock types that relate to the fields of hydrogeology, environmental geology, economic geology, neotectonics, earth science, seismology, and geologic engineering. Incorporates numerous high-quality photographs, including 8 pages of color photos.
An Archaeological History of Montserrat in the West Indies
Montserrat is a small island in the Leeward islands of the eastern Caribbean and at present a British Overseas Territory. It has suffered greatly in recent times, first from the devastations of Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and since 1995 from the still-ongoing eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano that has caused two-thirds of the island’s population to emigrate and left half the island a dangerous exclusion zone. Archaeological research here began only in the late 1970s, but work over the past four decades has now made it possible to present an archaeological history of Montserrat, from the earliest known traces of human activity on the island about 5,000 years ago to the present. This book ...
The Eruption of Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat from 2000 to 2010
The 1995 to present eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano on Montserrat is one of the most important and best-studied eruptions of an explosive andesitic volcano. This volume presents scientific findings from the period between 2000 and 2010; it follows on from Memoir 21, which focused on the early years of activity between 1995 and 1999. In addition to descriptions and analysis of the growth, collapse and explosions associated with lava domes, there are papers on the deformation of the volcano caused by the deep magma, the petrology and geochemistry of the lavas and associated gases. Of particular note are: an overview of the insights into the deep structure of the volcano that resulted from a major international seismic tomography experiment; and an analysis of the quantitative risk assessment process that has run now for most of the eruption, the longest such continuous assessment in the world.
Verlassene Orte
Die mehrfach ausgezeichnete schottische Essayistin Cal Flyn erkundet in diesem außergewöhnlichen Buch Orte, an denen keine Menschen mehr leben – oder nur noch wenige ihr Dasein fristen. Es sind Sperrgebiete oder Geisterstädte, Festungsinseln und Niemandsländer, unwegsames Terrain, auf das sich Flyn wagt, als sie verwaiste und verwüstete Orte besuchte, um zu verstehen, was passiert, wenn man der Natur erlaubt, sich ihren Platz zurückzuerobern. Auf einer unbewohnten schottischen Insel begegnet sie einer Herde verwilderter Rinder, in Tschernobyl einer Handvoll Menschen, die nach der Nuklearkatastrophe in ihre kontaminierten Häuser zurückkehrten, und in Detroit, der einst viertgrößte...
