This volume unravels the underlying power relations that are masked in the present discourse of ecological sustainability and conflicts over natural resources.
This book presents fundamental experimental data and experiment-based theoretical conclusions on, as well as physico-chemical models of, the natural hydrothermal, metasomatic, metamorphic, magmatic and ore-producing processes in the Earth's crust, upper mantle, transition zone and lower mantle.
"e;This water"e; he told me, "e;runs out to the eastern region, and flows into the Arabah; and when it comes into the sea, into the sea of foul waters [i.
Carbon dioxide, bicarbonate ion, and carbonate ion comprise the most important acid-base system in natural waters, and the equilibria between them regulate the pH of seawater, as well as most rainwater, stream water, river water, and groundwater.
Understanding of groundwater flow and solute transport in fractured rocks is vital for analysis of water resources, water quality and environmental protection, geotechnical and engineering projects, and geothermal energy production.
Fully updated, this streamlined new textbook is an accessible introduction to thermodynamics for Earth and environmental scientists, emphasising real-world problems.
A variety of air pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere from human-caused and natural emissions sources throughout the United States and elsewhere.
Chemistry for Environmental and Earth Sciences focuses on the chemistry and processes behind environmental issues such as global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, water pollution, and soil contamination.
Injuries due to air turbulence has increased recently, therefore there is considerable concern and interest in understanding and detecting it more accurately.
This volume, based on Symposium on Igneous Petrology held during the 30th International Geological Congress, focuses on intraplate magmatism and diversity and complexity of mechanisms of magma formation.
The accumulation of large amounts of ash from fossil fuel combustion for electric power generation is becoming a major environmental concern in the United States.
About three years ago Catherine de Berg and I published a short article in Nature in which we attempted to explain why the chemistry of the atmosphere of the Earth is today so completely different from that of our two neighbor- ing planets, Mars and Venus.
This book deals with the different aspects of the symposia, ranging from, in the original order of the sessions, early history of the earth, continental accretion, coremantle differentiation, biological evolution, palaeoclimate, to interaction between the lithosphere and the hydro-atmo-biosphere.
This book calls the attention of the scientific community, government organizations and non-government agencies, and the general public, to arguably one of the most important and complex of the world's tropical rainforest regions - the greater Panama Canal Watershed.
Within very recent time, when investigating the allowing one to explain possible transformations according to variations in different characteristics physicochemical conditions under which sedimen- tary rocks formed, geologists were satisfied with of the environment.
Himalaya, the world's most prominent mountain system of the world is a source of sustainence for the social, cultural and economic development of population across different countries.
Wetland ecosystems maintain a fragile balance of soil, water, plant, and atmospheric components in order to regulate water flow, flooding, and water quality.
Describes the State-of-the-Art in Spatial Data Mining, Focuses on Data QualitySubstantial progress has been made toward developing effective techniques for spatial information processing in recent years.
These three works cover the entire field of formation evaluation, from basic concepts and theories, through standard methods used by the petroleum industry, on to new and exciting applications in environmental science and engineering, hydrogeology, and other fields.
The Aqueous Chemistry of Oxides is a single-volume text that encapsulates all of the critical issues associated with how oxide materials interact with aqueous solutions.
Granitic rocks are a major component of the continental crust and the many and complex problems of their origin that have confronted geologists for over 200 years still are presenting challenges today.
This book provides a practical perspective of all the processes involved in estimating mineral resources and reserves, including mine-to-mill reconciliation.
A comprehensive handbook outlining state-of-the-art analytical techniques used in geomicrobiology, for advanced students, researchers and professional scientists.
Despite advances in modeling, such as graphical user interfaces, the use of GIS layers, and databases for developing input files, the approaches to modeling phosphorus (P) have not changed since their initial development in the 1980s.
This book is a comprehensive advancement about the understanding of the volcanology of Mars in all its aspects, from its primary formation to its evolution in time, from the smaller structures to the bigger structures.
