Geology - Earth Sciences

GCG 2017 was organised to provide a forum for prominent scientists, researchers and professionals from Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic to present novel and fundamental advances in the fields of geodesy, cartography and geoinformatics. Conference participants had the opportunity to exchange a..

This atlas illustrates in full colour a range of features not attempted in any general textbook and is designed as a laboratory manual to keep beside the microscope, as an aid to identifying grain types and textures in carbonates. For students and professionals in teaching institutions, research lab..

Contemporary Lithospheric Motion Seismic Geology..

This book provides theoretical concepts and applications of fractals and multifractals to a broad range of audiences from various scientific communities, such as petroleum, chemical, civil and environmental engineering, atmospheric research, and hydrology._x005F_x000D_  ..

Provides a simple account of the basic concepts and methods of fractal geometry and its application to rock mechanics, geology and seismology. The text also discusses the damage mechanics of rocks and its application to mining engineering...

A study of the behaviour of gold in sedimentary, magnetic and postmagnetic processes, describing 40 gold-bearing minerals, including 10 recently discovered ones. The results are presented of experimental studies on phase relations in gold-sulphide.....

This text provides a process oriented discussion of the theory, methodology and philosophy of geologic and mine modelling using two commercial software packages: Techbase, a leader for mineral exploration and modelling bedded deposits; and Lynx, f.....

While the countries of Central Africa within the Congo River Basin and bordering areas are home to Africa's greatest concentration of wealth in natural resources, they still count among the poorest nations on earth. The region is often afflicted by crises and conflicts that severely harm national ec..

Despite the importance of preserving the environment in our developing world, activity involving the extraction of natural resources and the disposal of waste continues to increase. Geotechnical and Environmental Aspects of Waste Disposal Sites presents expertise from 19 countries around the world, ..

Magmatism and Geodynamics..

A summmary of work carried out in the field of experimental rock mechanics. The title looks at triaxial testing, types of brittle fracture and the geophysical and geological implications of two types of fracture amongst other topics which should b.....
