International Mineral Economics provides an integrated overview of the concepts important for mineral exploration, mine valuation, mineral market analysis, and international mineral policies.
At last geochemists are offered one comprehensive reference book which gives the Eh-pH diagrams for 75 elements found in the earth's surface environment, including transuranic and other radioactive species.
Discusses the global evolution of the earth, such as core-mantle separation, mantle-crust evolution, origin of ocean-atmosphere system, on the basis of isotope earth science andpaleomagnetism, where recent devlopment in planetology andastrophysical theories are extensively taken into account.
Coated grains have always attracted attention, at first of naturalists, and later of geologists, and the interest in these peculiar bodies was re- lated both to their intriguing form and their significance in facies inter- pretation and sedimentology and to their relevance to accumulations of hydrocarbons and other mineral deposits.
Students of a phenomenon as common but complex as andesite genesis often are overwhelmed by, or overlook, the volume and diversity of relevant information.
In these days of information explosion and high-cost publishing, it is perhaps only reasonable for an author to convince the reading public that it is getting something worth reading.
The problem of time-and strata-bound formation of ore deposits has during the past decade become one of the most debated topics in cur- rent international discussion.
During the last five years transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has added numerous important new data to mineralogy and has considerably changed its outlook.
Results of selected projects on Exploration R & D, one of the major research areas implemented by the Commission of European Communities in Brussels on the subject of mineral raw materials, are presented on an international basis.
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.
Perspectives on Biogeochemistry is an account of the origin of forces and matter at the dawn of time, and the way they evolved to planet Earth of today.
This volume contains a selection of papers presented to the Fourth International Symposium on Environmental Biogeochemistry (ISEB), and a conference on Biogeochemistry in Relation to Mining Industry and Environmental Pollution (Leaching Conferenc~, held in Canberra, Aust- ralia on August 26-31 and September 3-4, 1979, respectively.
Perhaps the most striking impression gained by a geologist during twenty years of field work with deformed rocks in many parts of the world is that the minor structures in these rocks are surprisingly uniform in their properties and restricted in their variety.
For future studies of oceanic circulation it is necessary to develop the tritium measurement via 3He ingrowth into a routine procedure with a high capacity for efficient use.
Considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the physicochemical evolution of natural rocks through systematic analysis of the compositional properties and phase relations of their mineral assemblages.
This series of monographs represents continuation on an international basis of the previous series MINERALOGIE UNO PETROGRAPHIE IN EINZELOARSTELLUNGEN, published by Springer-Verlag.
