Health monitoring of civil structures (HMS) is a new discipline, which contributes to successful and on time detection of damages to structures.

The basis of this investigation is the petrographic and geochemical understanding of principal igneous rock types of the Noril'sk region, in order to demonstrate that these data provide unique and self-evident solutions to the problems of petrogenesis and mineralization.

Extensive descriptions of a wide range of key or world-class mineral deposits of China are presented in the context of the country's general geology, tectonic units and mineral systems and their geodynamic evolution within the tectonic framework of the Asian continent.

This monograph addresses the legal and policy issues relating to the commercial exploitation of natural resources in outer space.

This book covers the entire spectrum of mineralogy and consolidates its applications in different fields.

This book presents the third volume of a complete development of the new structural classification of minerals, which is based on the internal crystal structure, and is therefore its natural classification.

The process of regional-residual separation in potential field is age-old.

With the awareness that the Earth has a magnetic field, its mathematical description, discovery of remanent magnetisation in rocks and discovery of the periodic reversals of the geomagnetic field polarity, geomagnetism within geophysics became an interesting field of study.

This book presents a comprehensive, contemporary review of tidal environments and deposits.

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 book is a thoughtful discussion with scientists studying convergent plate boundaries such as the well-known, active India-Eurasia collision zone.

Energie und Rohstoffe stehen immer wieder in den Schlagzeilen — und werden uns auch in Zukunft in Forschung und Alltag intensiv beschäftigen.

Although numerous volumes have been written upon petroleum, and some very educational works on this important subject are to be found in technological literature, it is strange that prior to the appearance of this little book, it has been impossible to turn to any publication which deals with this Common Commodity of Commerce in a popular manner.

The preparation of a volume on this topic was undertaken with some hesitancy on my part because the ramifications of the mineralogy of apatite involve both bio- logical and physical sciences in very elaborate ways.

Die im Wasser enthaltenen Spurenelemente haben eine zentrale Bedeutung sowohl für die Medizin als auch für die Geologie.
