The Role of Organic Petrology in the Exploration of Conventional and Unconventional Hydrocarbon Systems
Organic petrology is a discipline of geology which integrates multidisciplinary approaches for the exploration and evaluation of fossil fuel resources by conventional and unconventional procedures. Organic petrology has brought forth new, powerful analytical tools for the characterization of geological hydrocarbon systems, thus providing information where previous analytical techniques prove to be less effective. The reference provides a broad, comprehensive source of information about the application of organic petrology in the investigation of geological formations related with the production and accumulation of oil and gas. Eleven chapters cover a variety of topics (kerogens, dispersed or...
From Biomass to Biobased Products
Realizing the finite nature of natural resources such as fossil fuels, the emphasis is now shifting to alternative raw materials with the potential to mitigate the environmental, economic, and social stresses of today’s world. Under this horizon, in this book, we explore the use of biomass and key issues, including technological nodes and disruptive technologies capable of unlocking the black box of biomass-based technology. This book provides an overview for those attentive to the promises of biomass as a source of a myriad of specialty products.
Materials in Environmental Engineering
This contains selected and peer-reviewed papers from the 4th Annual International Conference on Material Science and Environmental Engineering (MSEE), December 16-18 2016, in Chengdu, China. Interactions of building materials, biomaterials, energy materials and nanomaterials with surrounding environment are discussed. With abundant case studies, it is of interests to material scientists and environmental engineers.
Dinosaur Tracks from Brazil
Dinosaur Tracks from Brazil is the first full-length study of dinosaurs in Brazil. Some 500 dinosaur trackways from the Cretaceous period still remain in the Rio do Peixe basins of Brazil, making it one of the largest trackways in the world. Veteran paleontologists Giuseppe Leonardi and Ismar de Souza Carvalho painstakingly document and analyze each track found at 37 individual sites and at approximately 96 stratigraphic levels. Richly illustrated and containing a wealth of data, Leonardi and de Souza Carvalho brilliantly reconstruct the taxonomic groups of the dinosaurs from the area and show how they moved across the alluvial fans, meandering rivers, and shallow lakes of ancient Gondwana. Dinosaur Tracks from Brazil is essential reading for paleontologists.
Geochemistry
This book brings together the knowledge from a variety of topics within the field of geochemistry. The audience for this book consists of a multitude of scientists such as physicists, geologists, technologists, petroleum engineers, volcanologists, geochemists and government agencies. The topics represented facilitate as establishing a starting point for new ideas and further contributions. An effective management of geological and environmental issues requires the understanding of recent research in minerals, soil, ores, rocks, water, sediments. The use of geostatistical and geochemical methods relies heavily on the extraction of this book. The research presented was carried out by experts and is therefore highly recommended to scientists, under- and post-graduate students who want to gain knowledge about the recent developments in geochemistry and benefit from an enhanced understanding of the dynamics of the earth's system processes.
Paleontologia
Desde o surgimento da vida na Terra, as adaptações, transformações e inovações demonstradas pelos organismos, evidenciam-nos fenômenos e uma temporalidade que em muito transcende a dimensão da existência humana, marcada pelo surgimento e desaparecimento de continentes, bem como catástrofes ecológicas que levaram à extinção incontáveis espécies animais e vegetais. A presente edição do livro Paleontologia apresenta os diversos grupos que existiram no últimos 3,8 bilhões de anos, além dos contextos geológico e paleobiológico em que se inseriam. PALEONTOLOGIA (3ª edição) encontra-se dividido em três volumes. O primeiro abrange os conceitos e métodos para o estudo dos fósseis. No segundo volume encontram-se aspectos relativos aos Paleoinvertebrados e Microfósseis. Já o terceiro volume apresenta os Paleovertebrados e a Paleobotânica. Este livro, conta-nos a instigante história geológica da vida. Trata-se de uma obra destinada a todos aqueles que desejam ampliar seus conhecimentos sobre a diversidade e transformações pela qual passou o mundo orgânico no decurso do tempo profundo.
Paleontologia
O volume 1 de PALEONTOLOGIA: CENÁRIOS DE VIDA reúne estudos que relatam variadas manifestações de vida, suas evoluções e histórias geológicas. Assim, surgem os modelos de antigos ecossistemas no território brasileiro, no continente sul-americano e no supercontinente Gondwana. São contribuições não só para as questões práticas em áreas acadêmicas e operacionais das ciências biológicas e geológicas, como também são conhecimentos que no presente têm envolvimento com outras áreas das ciências políticas e sociais, diante das atuais ameaças mundiais de mudanças climáticas e extinção de espécies.
Advances in Geoengineering, Geotechnologies, and Geoenvironment for Earth Systems and Sustainable Georesources Management
This book comprises the peer-reviewed proceedings of the 1st Conference on Georesources, Geomaterials, Geotechnologies and Geoenvironment (4GEO), Porto, Portugal, on November 7–8, 2019. The book interests all researchers, practitioners, and students in engineering geosciences, geotechnics, georesources, materials engineering, and earth and environmental sciences. Georesources, geomaterials, geotechnologies, and geoenvironment are very topical subjects and therefore deserve a deeper reflection by academia, practitioners, and society. That approach is vital to a correct sustainable resource management and an engineering design with nature within a geoethical framework. Georesources, understo...
