Leading East European petroleum explorationists from Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, former East Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania present a systematic view of petroleum geology, exploration history, production, reserves and potential in their countries which, until recently, have been closed to Western observers.
The modern geological sciences are characterized by extraordinarily rapid progress, as well as by the development and application of numerous new and refined methods,most of them handling an enormous amount of data available from all the continents and oceans.
Ausgehend von der geologischen Struktur Oberägyptens und der mineralogischen Zusammensetzung der Gesteine gehen die Autoren mit reichhaltigem Bildmaterial auf Spurensuche in alten ägyptischen Steinbrüchen.
Water is the most effective agent in the climate system to modulate energy transfer by radiative processes, through its exchanges of latent heat and within cascades of chemical processes.
This volume is the final outcome of a conference designed to wrap up IOCP Project 157 ("e; Early Organic Evolution and Mineral and Energy Resources "e;) after a decade of prolific activity.
The monograph being proposed for the English-speaking research community is concentrated on the atmospheric correction of satellite images as a part of thematic interpretation procedures while processing remote sensing data.
Although there are numerous publications on the geology of high-grade gneiss terrains, few descriptions exist of how to map and carry out structural analysis in these terrains.
Today, climate-related processes and problems are referred to as Global Change by nearly everyone including scientists, politicians, and economists; citizens worldwide are anxious about the often ob- served disorientation of our environment under the influence of man.
Deciphering provenance - this is the study of how far geology, geomorphology and climate of a source, a mountainous area, may be reconstructable from its erosional products released to the sea; from gravel and sand, from silt, sand, clay which recombine to form a new cycle of rocks.
With the new global tectonics approach in the Earth Sciences, the quan- titative aspects of the dynamics of rock-forming processes came into focus: geologists are no longer satisfied knowing the pressure-tempera- ture conditions of the formation of a metamorphic rock or of the emplace- ment of a magmatic body, but instead would like to learn the time history of these rocks as well, i.
The biennial International Gothenburg Symposia on Chemical Water and Waste- water Treatment have proven to be a unique platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences between administrators, engineers and scientists active in the fields of water supply, wastewater disposal and pollution control.
As very few studies on geomorphological aspects of sandstones exist, this book demonstrates the significance of landforming processes from geological, geochemical and dynamic points of view.
Earth scientists, who have worked together for 6 years in the priority pro- gram "e;Hydrogeochemical Processes in the Hydrological Cycle Within the Unsaturated and Saturated Zones"e;, have summarized the results of their research in this volume.
More and more clinicians as well as researchers realize thatanorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa often are extremelydifficult to treat and that the short-term outcome can bevery misleading.
This Atlas of data on the Continental Crust is the product of more than five years of field work, processing and interpretation assembled by the DEKORP-research group (DEKORP = Deutsches Kontinentales Reflexionsseismisches Programm).
The surface features of the Earth are commonly split into two categories, the first of which comprises those features that are due to processes occurring inside the solid Earth (endogenic features) and the second those that are due to processes occurring outside the solid Earth (exogenic features).
With the growing recognition during the last two centuries that the Earth has an immense age and processes over long periods of time have changed the morphology and composition of the Earth's crust, geologists have become increasingly interested in determination of absolute ages.
As this excellent book demonstrates, the study of comets has now reached the fas- cinating stage where we understand comets in general simple tenns while, at the same time, we are uncertain about practically all the details of cometary nature, structure, processes, and origin.
New methods for the determination of the nature, proportion, and distribution of structural defects in microcrystallized lamellar systems are of utmost importance not only to experimentalists but also to theoreticians.
Many times when the author saw the bedouins of southern Sinai excavate their wells in the crystalline rocks, from which this part of the peninsula is built, the story of Moses striking the rock to get water came to mind.
The contributions in this book were presented, orally or as posters, at the International Volcanological Congress held in New Zealand from 1 to 9 February 1986, the centenary year of the Tarawera eruption of 10 June 1886.
This collection of papers is based on a symposium held in 1987 at the Interna- tional Union of Geology and Geodesy Congress in Vancouver, British Colum- bia.
Major structural features are used in this study to reconstruct the links which existed between North America, Europe and Africa before the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean.
International Mineral Economics provides an integrated overview of the concepts important for mineral exploration, mine valuation, mineral market analysis, and international mineral policies.
Dredged Material and Mine Tailings are two of the same thing once they are deposited on land: they must be safe-guarded, wash-out must be prevented, and they must be protected by a plantcover.
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.
