As the title suggests, Isotope Effects in the Chemical, Geological and Bio Sciences deals with differences in the properties of isotopically substituted molecules, such as differences in the chemical and physical properties of water and the heavy waters.
The book summarizes the occurrence, geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology and phase-equilibria studies in air and under high pressures related to the most intriguing group of potassium-rich mafic and ultramafic rocks, often including host of exotic mineral assemblages including feldspathoids.
The critical zone is the thin outer veneer of continental Earth extending from the top of the vegetation canopy to subsurface depths where fresh groundwater circulates.
Gashydrate, auch „brennendes Eis“ genannt, sind faszinierende, eisähnliche Feststoffe, die aus Wasser- und Gasmolekülen aufgebaut sind und weltweit an allen aktiven und passiven Kontinentalhängen und in Permafrostgebieten vorkommen.
Ressourcenverknappung durch den Raubbau an der Natur, steigende Rohstoffpreise und die globale Krise der Rohstoffversorgung sind Bedrohungsszenarien, welche uns immer wieder beschäftigen und allzu oft als kaum abwendbares Schicksal erscheinen.
In diesem Fachbuch werden spezifische Eigenschaften der Gesteine und des Gebirges betrachtet, die sich aufgrund ihrer Quantifizierbarkeit für eine Klassifikation eignen.
Dieses auch für den interessierten Laien verständlich geschriebene Werk führt in die unbekannte Welt der CO2-Gasvulkane, der sogenannten Mofetten, ein.
The aim of this book is to unlock the power of the freeware R language to advanced university students and researchers dealing with whole-rock geochemistry of (meta-) igneous rocks.
Gregor Markls Buch ist eine verständliche Einführung in die Grundlagen der Mineralogie, Petrologie und Geochemie und richtet sich vor allem an Studierende geowissenschaftlicher Fächer.
This volume contains a selection of papers presented to the Fourth Internation~l Symposium on Environmental Biogeochemistry (ISEB), and a conference on Biogeochemistry in Relation to Mining Industry and Environmental Pollution (Leaching Conference), held in Canberra, Aust- ralia on August 26-31 and September 3-4, 1979, respectively.
Subsequent to the profiling of organometal(loid) compounds in important biogeogenic and anthropogenic deposits, the importance of this class of compounds for human health are evaluated by the analysis of both physicochemical and biological formation, distribution and transformation processes.
Diese Einführung in die spezielle Mineralogie, Petrologie und Lagerstättenkunde auf genetischer Grundlage konzentriert sich auf wesentliche Lehrinhalte des Fachgebietes und setzt Grundkenntnisse in der allgemeinen Mineralogie und Kristallographie voraus.
Who ever has enjoyed following the legendary duel between the Egyptian Pharaoh and his magicians (Alchemists) on one side, and Moses and his brother Aaron on the other, as it is vividly narrated by the Bible, must have realised, that people (at least those living at, or near the eternal battle fields of the middle East) have al- ways had knowledge about the terrible consequences of soil pollution by chemi- cals.
The extraordinary growth of the computer and semiconductor industries and the increasing consumption of indium in these technologies in recent years have placed major constraints on current and future reserves of this metal.
his book is intended for graduate students of the Earth Sciences who require a T comprehensive examination of the origins of igneous rocks as recorded by the isotope compositions of the strontium, neodymium, lead, and oxygen they contain.
The critical zone is the thin outer veneer of continental Earth extending from the top of the vegetation canopy to subsurface depths where fresh groundwater circulates.
This undergraduate textbook on the key subject of geology closely follows the core curriculum adopted by most universities throughout the world and is a must for every geology student.
This book aims to give an overview on the present state of volcanic lake research, covering topics such as volcano monitoring, the chemistry, dynamics and degassing of acidic crater lakes, mass-energy-chemical-isotopic balance approaches, limnology and degassing of Nyos-type lakes, the impact on the human and natural environment, the eruption products and impact of crater lake breaching eruptions, numerical modeling of gas clouds and lake eruptions, thermo-hydro-mechanical and deformation modeling, CO2 fluxes from lakes, volcanic lakes observed from space, biological activity, continuous monitoring techniques, and some aspects more.
Der erste Band der Reihe Chemie-Basiswissen vermittelt in seiner neuen Auflage die allgemeinen Grundlagen der Chemie für Bachelor-Studiengänge mit Chemie als Haupt- oder Nebenfach sowie für Studierende des höheren Lehramtes.
Bei der Bewirtschaftung von Grundwasservorkommen die zur Trinkwasserversorgung genutzt werden, gewinnen Aspekte der Wasserbeschaffenheit zunehmend an Bedeutung.
Uniquely comprehensive and up to date, this book covers terrestrial as well as extraterrestrial drilling and excavation, combining the technology of drilling with the state of the art in robotics.
