As connecting link between the Antarctic and the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic plays an important role in the distribution of heat in the North Atlantic and in the biogeochemical budget of all oceans.
From the natural geometry of the Giant's Causeway to the sarsen slabs used to build Stonehenge, we are surrounded by evidence for the extraordinary geological forces that shaped the British Isles.
This book compiles a compendium of the current knowledge on the distribution, speciation and behavior of sulfur in the atmosphere, surface, crust, mantle, and core of the Earth as well as the other bodies of the solar system, including the terrestrial planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, moons, and the gas giants.

The history of the planet Earth has had periods of being in a distinct state with intervening critical transitions that see it 'flip' between states, for example between a world without atmospheric oxygen to one with a trace of it.

The fourth edition of Introduction to Mineralogy combines material now covered in both traditional and optical mineralogy courses and focuses on describing minerals within their geologic context.
General scientific laws guide and constrain how landscapes evolve, but because local geographical and historical contingencies are so important, there are infinite possible evolutionary pathways and outcomes.

Rocks, Gems, and Minerals of the Rocky Mountains is a field guide to more than 130 of the most common and sought-after rocks, gems, and minerals hidden throughout the Rocky Mountains.
The reconstruction of ancient marine environments is an important task of the Earth Sciences, of great interest to geology, pure and applied, to oceanography and climatology, as well as to such fields as ecology and evolution.
The fact that filling of an artificial water reservoir could alter the earthquake occurrence in the vicinity of a reservoir was scientifically established way back in 1939 when enhanced earthquake occurrence in the vicinity of Lake Mead, Colorado, USA was related with the filling of the Hoover Dam.
