Theoretical Geochemistry

Theoretical Geochemistry: Applications of Quantum Mechanics in the Earth and Mineral Sciences
By John A. Tossell, David J. Vaughan
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | 528 pages | 1992-03-19 | ISBN: 0195044037 | English | PDF | 20.57 MB

This work is based on the observation that further major advances in geochemistry, particularly in understanding the rules that govern the ways in which elements come together to form minerals and rocks, will require the application of the theories of quantum mechanics. The book therefore outlines this theoretical background and discusses the models used to describe bonding in geochemical systems. It is the first book to describe and critically review the application of quantum mechanical theories to minerals and geochemical systems. The book consolidates valuable findings from chemistry and materials science as well as mineralogy and geochemistry, and the presentation has relevance to professionals in a wide range of disciplines. Experimental techniques are surveyed, but the emphasis is on applying theoretical tools to various groups of minerals: the oxides, silicates, carbonates, borates, and sulfides. Other topics dealt with in depth include structure, stereochemistry, bond strengths and stabilities of minerals, various physical properties, and the overall geochemical distribution of the elements.

Early Palaeozoic Peri-Gondwana Terranes: New Insights from Tectonics and Biogeography

M. G. Bassett, "Early Palaeozoic Peri-Gondwana Terranes: New Insights from Tectonics and Biogeography"
Geological Society of London | 2009 | ISBN: 1862392862 | 288 pages | PDF | 11,9 MB

Following the late Neoproterozoic - early Cambrian breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia, Gondwana evolved as one of the principal continental masses on Earth, embracing most of South America, Africa, Australasia, Antarctica, much of western Europe and parts of Asia. Around its margins were various other terranes that had varying tectonic and biogeographical affinities with the main continental block. This book incorporates a series of reviews and multidisciplinary research papers that together explore the tectonic, palaeogeographical and palaeobiogeographical evolution of the elements that made up the peri-Gondwanan collage. The stratigraphical scope of the coverage embraces the late Precambrian through early Devonian, providing a comprehensive overview of structural, stratigraphical and biological evolution through this significant interval of Earth history. Integration of these various processes throughout the volume will be of broad-based interest to a wide range of geoscientists.

The Role of Women in the History of Geology

The Role of Women in the History of Geology: Special Publication no 281
Publisher: Geological Society of London | ISBN: 1862392277 | edition 2007 | PDF | 352 pages | 10,6 mb

Where were the women in Geology? This book is a first as it unravels the diverse roles women have played in the history and development of geology as a science predominantly in the UK, Ireland and Australia, and selectively in Germany, Russia and US. The volume covers the period from the late eighteenth century to the present day and shows how the roles that women have played changed with time. These included illustrators, museum collectors and curators, educationalists, researchers and geologists. Originally as wives, sisters or mothers many were assistants to their male relatives. This book looks at all these forgotten women and for the first time historians and scientists together explore the contribution they made to this male-dominated subject. There are individual profiles on remarkable women: Catherine Raisin, Dorothea Bate, Cuviers daughters, Grace Prestwich, Annie Greenly, Nancy Kirk, Margaret Crosfield, Ethel Skeat, Maria Ogivlie Gordon, Marie Stopes, Anne Phillips, Muriel Arber and Etheldred Bennett. Pulling together this extensive research uncovered common issues and generated emergent themes. The Editors have brought this new research together under these themes and tried to answer the question Where were the women in Geology? They go on to discuss how these role models can be applicable to todays society.

Early Earth Systems: A Geochemical Approach

Map That Changed the World CD: William Smith and the Birth of Modern Geology
HarperAudio | ISBN: 0694525219 | 2001-08-01 | MP3 | 176 MB

Once upon a time there lived a man who discovered the secrets of the earth. He traveled far and wide, learning about the world below the surface. After years of toil, he created a great map of the underworld and expected to live happily ever after. But did he? Simon Winchester (The Professor and the Madman) tells the fossil-friendly fairy tale life of William Smith in The Map That Changed the World.

Born to humble parents, Smith was also a child of the Industrial Revolution (the year of his birth, 1769, also saw Josiah Wedgwood open his great factory, Etruria, Richard Arkwright create his first water-powered cotton-spinning frame, and James Watt receive the patent for the first condensing steam engine). While working as surveyor in a coal mine, Smith noticed the abrupt changes in the layers of rock as he was lowered into the depths. He came to understand that the different layers--in part as revealed by the fossils they contained--always appeared in the same order, no matter where they were found. He also realized that geology required a three-dimensional approach. Smith spent the next 20 some years traveling throughout Britain, observing the land, gathering data, and chattering away about his theories to those he met along the way, thus acquiring the nickname "Strata Smith." In 1815 he published his masterpiece: an 8.5- by 6-foot, hand-tinted map revealing "A Delineation of the Strata of England and Wales."

Despite this triumph, Smith's road remained more rocky than smooth. Snubbed by the gentlemanly Geological Society, Smith complained that "the theory of geology is in the possession of one class of men, the practice in another." Indeed, some members of the society went further than mere ostracism--they stole Smith's work. These cartographic plagiarists produced their own map, remarkably similar to Smith's, in 1819. Meanwhile the chronically cash-strapped Smith had been forced to sell his prized fossil collection and was eventually consigned to debtor's prison.

In the end, the villains are foiled, our hero restored, and science triumphs. Winchester clearly relishes his happy ending, and his honey-tinged prose ("that most attractively lovable losterlike Paleozoic arthropod known as the trilobite") injects a lot of life into what seems, on the surface, a rather dry tale. Like Smith, however, Winchester delves into the strata beneath the surface and reveals a remarkable world. --Sunny Delaney

«Evolutionary Catástrofes: The Science of Mass Extinction»

Vincent Courtillot, «Evolutionary Catástrofes: The Science of Mass Extinction» Cambridge University Press ISBN 0521891183 Reprint edition (18 de março de 2002) PDF 2,37 Mb 188 pages

Originalmente publicado na França em 1995, este volume slim por um professor de geologia na Universidade de Paris tenta explicar as causas das extinções em massa que ocorreram nos últimos 300 milhões de anos. Courtillot faz um excelente trabalho de apresentar provas de acusação e os dois fatores mais prováveis: grandes colisões de asteróides com a terra e extensa atividade vulcânica. Embora a crença popular é que os asteróides são responsáveis, Courtillot argumenta persuasivamente que todos os dados disponíveis são mais consistentes com a teoria vulcânica. Na verdade, sete de extinções em massa do mundo, a atividade vulcânica ocorreu quando estava no seu auge, enquanto apenas uma, a extinção que ocorreu há 65 milhões de anos atrás e dizimou os dinossauros, entre muitas outras espécies, parece ter coincidido com o impacto de um asteróide principal. Courtillot também descreve as personalidades de algumas das principais figuras de ambos os lados do debate, bem como a natureza da ciência. O livro é bastante técnico, porém, assim que seu apelo a um público alargado, podem ser limitados. Ilustrações. (Julho) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. - Este texto refere-se a um fora da cópia ou da edição unavailable deste título. Review: '... um livro muito bem escrito de que, uma vez que pegou, é impossível colocar. Geocientista '... prestar atenção a este espaço e ler este livro. " Bob White, New Scientist 'O livro é de leitura fácil e fornece uma imagem clara e concisa para qualquer pessoa interessada no assunto. O texto é bem escrito e apoiada por notas de rodapé claro, sempre que necessário e um glossário completo ... [I] recomendo este livro para as pessoas em qualquer estágio em seus estudos ou conhecimento. Ele foi escrito para uma audiência geral, mas não deve ser desperdiçada por profissionais. " Mike Hermolle, Open University Geological Society Journal Descrição do livro: Por que os dinossauros e dois terços de todas as espécies desaparecem da face da Terra sessenta e cinco milhões de anos atrás? Ao longo da história da vida de um pequeno número de eventos catastróficos ter causado extinção em massa, e mudou o caminho de evolução para sempre. Duas principais teorias surgiram para explicar estes acontecimentos dramáticos: o impacto de asteróides e erupções vulcânicas maciças, ambos levando a energia nuclear como o inverno. Nos últimos anos, a hipótese de incidência tem vindo a ganhar precedência, mas Vincent Courtillot sugere que a atividade vulcânica cataclísmico pode estar ligada não só à extinção em massa KT, mas para a maioria dos eventos principais da extinção em massa na história da Terra. Courtillot do livro desacredita alguns dos mitos que cercam um dos argumentos mais controverso na ciência. Essa história vai fascinar todos os interessados na história de vida e morte em nosso planeta. Notas Idioma: Texto: Inglês (tradução) Língua Original: Francês Sobre o autor: Vincent Courtillot é professor de Geofísica da Universidade de Paris, comanda um grupo de investigação no Institut de Physique du Globe e é assessor especial do Ministério francês da Educação Nacional, da Investigação e da Tecnologia.

Ninguém acreditava as reivindicações dos primeiros cientistas que disse que o mundo era redondo. Imagine a descrença do público se tivessem sido informados sobre a existência de inundações e super super vulcões que abalou o planeta em seu núcleo. Cientistas geólogo marca J Harlen Bretz um herege em 1920 por sua teoria de que o Scablands, uma área no canto noroeste de os E.U. conhecido por sua 'cai seca "e da paisagem agreste, haviam sido criados durante a noite por uma inundação gigante.No episódio, Flood Mega, uma equipe de geólogos maverick caçada em busca de pistas para provar a teoria de Bretz para ser verdade. Espalhados por todo o terreno, eles acham de cem toneladas de granito pedras, buracos gigantes, 40-ondulações pé esculpido na paisagem e as marcas de arranhão arrancados na rocha. "Em geologia estamos realmente procurando evidências das características das rochas, sobre a paisagem. É muito semelhante ao que faz um detetive à procura de pistas na cena do crime. Essas pistas se encaixam em um padrão e, finalmente, um culpado é associado com essa cena do crime ", explica o professor de Geociências Vic Baker, da Universidade do Arizona.Na série de choques Terra, Vulcão Mega, revela como a evidência encontrada por climatologistas que estudam as mudanças para a atmosfera na Groenlândia iniciou uma investigação sobre um dos maiores do mundo, erupções vulcânicas. "Quanto mais eu olhava para os resultados, eu sabia que estávamos olhando para algo que acabou de ser catastróficas", relembra Greg Zielinski, um da equipe que descobriu a anomalia no gelo que datam 75.000 anos. Mais dicas localizado debaixo d'água, em rochas e enterrados sob as cinzas dirigida Zielinski e seus colegas cientistas a uma descoberta surpreendente: a existência de um super vulcão no local do lago Toba, na Indonésia. Alguns cientistas prevêem que, quando eclodiu 75.000 anos atrás, causou tanta devastação que o mundo foi empurrado para uma idade do gelo com duração de um milênio. Mais preocupante é a possibilidade de que poderia entrar em erupção novamente. "Pois bem, uma erupção vulcânica super afetaria todos os aspectos da vida moderna e da civilização moderna", diz o geólogo Mike Rampino.

The challenge of finding new orebodies to satisfy the ever increasing demands for mineral commodities has to be met, in addition to improved techniques of exploration, mining, extraction, and management, by a better understanding of the geologic setting and genesis of the various classes of mineral deposits. A substantial part of the book is devoted to a discussion, with appropriate examples, of principles that govern the formation of mineral deposits and the various kinds of field and laboratory data that can be used to interpret their genesis. The rest of the book discusses the characteristics of selected classes of deposits, their relationship with the crustal evolution in space and time, and on the application of available data to the formulation of viable genetic models that provide the basis for exploration strategies. Audience: The book is intended as a text for an introductory course in economic geology at senior undergraduate and graduate levels, but it should also serve as a useful information resource for professional economic geologists.

Handbook of Paleoanthropology: Volumes 1-3: T. Hardt (Author), Winfried Henke (Editor), Ian Tattersall (Editor)

Paleoanthropology is perhaps the most multidisciplinary of all the sciences. Any complete account of the evolution and cultural and biological context of Homo sapiens must combine information from geology, paleoecology, primatology, evolutionary biology and a host of other fields. Above all, historical information needs to be combined with, and interpreted in the light of, what we know of the living world. Paleoanthropology is also an actively developing field in which much remains to be settled. The three volumes of this handbook bring together contributions by the world's leading specialists that reflect the broad spectrum of modern paleoanthropology, thus presenting an indispensable resource for both professionals and students alike. Volume 1 deals with principles, methods, and approaches. In recent years, enormous advances have been made in such areas as phylogenetic analysis, paleoecology and evolutionary theory and philosophy. The contributions in this first volume present the state of the art in these fields, provide succinct introductions to them and reflect the many ways in which they interact. As human beings are primates, Volume 2 is devoted to primate origins, evolution, behaviour, and adaptive variety. Its emphasis is on integration of fossil data with the vast amount that is now known of the behaviour and ecology of living primates in natural environments. Volume 3 deals with the fossil and molecular evidence for the evolution of Homo sapiens and its fossil relatives (the family Hominidae or subfamily Homininae, according to taste, a matter that we have left to the individual contributors).

Vol 1:Principles, Methods and Approaches
Vol 2:Primate Evolution and Human Origins

"Oceans – Biomes of the Earth"

Trevor Day "Oceans – Biomes of the Earth"
Published by Chelsea House Publications | Publication date : April 2006 | ISBN : 0816053278 | PDF | 273 pages | English | 16.2 MB

The oceans are teeming with life of all kinds. Changing sea levels, plate tectonics, chemical cycling, sedimentation, and the atmosphere greatly impact these habitats. The ocean's currents and sea level are tied closely to weather patterns and in turn to such issues as global warming and El Nino.
"Oceans" provides a complete overview of the ecosystem that exists in these bodies of water. From the coastal wetlands to the deep ocean waters, the geography, geology, chemistry, and physics of oceans are thoroughly examined in this volume.
Today, the impact that human use of ocean resources has on these habitats, including habitat loss and overharvesting, is in constant debate. "Oceans" looks at these possible threats and concludes with a balanced look at the ways to manage the oceans, as well as the future of this ecosystem.

"Taiga – Biomes of the Earth"

Trevor Day "Taiga – Biomes of the Earth"
Published by Chelsea House Publications | Publication date : April 2006 | ISBN : 0816053294 | PDF | 241 pages | English | 15.4 MB
Taiga is a biome of the Northern Hemisphere, between tundra to the north and broad-leaved forest and temperate grassland to the south. Taiga includes dense forest, open forest, and jigsaw puzzles of forests, wetlands, and lakes that can be found in northwestern and northeastern America, northern Europe, Siberia, and East Asia. Examining its geography, geology, climate, and biodiversity, "Taiga" describes this unique ecosystem in a clear, complete manner. Human uses of taiga date back thousands of years to Eurasian hunters and fishers crossing the Bering land bridge into present-day North America. Today, hunting, logging, and mining are a few of the ways this habitat is used. Threats resulting from this development include overharvesting from hunting and logging, clear-felling, and the spread of agriculture. This volume also examines ways of managing taiga, including the movement to conserve taiga habitats through the creation of reservations and sanctuaries.

Plate Tectonics (Science Foundations) By Stephen M. Tomecek

Plate Tectonics (Science Foundations) By Stephen M. Tomecek
Publisher: Chelsea House Publications 2009-05-30 | 102 Pages | ISBN: 1604130148 | PDF | 10 MB

The development of the plate tectonic theory was one of the great revolutions in the history of science. Before the plate tectonic theory, most scientists believed that Earth was a static planet that never really changed. Working like detectives, a small group of pioneering individuals slowly pieced together an entirely different picture of our Earth, showing that the planet is really a dynamic, active world. Over the course of millions of years, continents collided with each other, oceans opened and closed, and mountains rose and fell - and these changes continue today. "Plate Tectonics" examines the evolution of plate tectonic theory from its beginnings as a wild idea of drifting continents to its acceptance as the main concept that drives geology today. The book also focuses on the lives and achievements of those individuals who fought great odds to give rise to one of the most important theories in science.

Neoproterozoic Geobiology and Paleobiology (Topics in Geobiology)

Shuhai Xiao, Alan J. Kaufman, "Neoproterozoic Geobiology and Paleobiology (Topics in Geobiology)"
Springer 2007-12 ISBN: 1402052014 300 pages PDF 22,1 MB

The Neoproterozoic Era (1000–542 million years ago) has become a major focus of geobiological investigations because it is a geological period characterized by dramatic climatic change and important evolutionary innovations. Repeated glaciations of unusual magnitude occurred throughout this tumultuous interval, and various eukaryotic clades independently achieved multicellularity, becoming more complex, abundant, and diverse at its termination. Animals made their first debut in the Neoproterozoic too.

This volume presents a sample of views and visions among some of the growing numbers of Neoproterozoic workers. It includes a set of multidisciplinary reviews on the Neoproterozoic fossil record (animals, algae, acritarchs, protists, and trace fossils), evolutionary developmental biology of animals, molecular clock estimates of phylogenetic divergences, and Neoproterozoic chemostratigraphy and sedimentary geology. These topics are of continuing interest to geoscientists and bioscientists who are intrigued by the deep history of the Earth and its inhabitants.

Stratigraphic reservoir characterization for petroleum geologists, geophysicists, and engineers

Roger M. Slatt. "Stratigraphic reservoir characterization for petroleum geologists, geophysicists, and engineers"
Handbook of Petroleum Exploration and Production, Volume 6
Elsevier Science | 2007 | ISBN: 0444528180 | 493 pages | PDF | 18 Mb

RS Download | IF Mirror | ES Mirror

Reservoir characterization as a discipline grew out of the recognition that more oil and gas could be extracted from reservoirs if the geology of the reservoir was understood. Prior to that awakening, reservoir development and production were the realm of the petroleum engineer. In fact, geologists of that time would have felt slighted if asked by corporate management to move from an exciting exploration assignment to a more mundane assignment working with an engineer to improve a reservoir's performance.
Slowly, reservoir characterization came into its own as a quantitative, multidisciplinary endeavor requiring a vast array of skills and knowledge sets. Perhaps the biggest attractor to becoming a reservoir geologist was the advent of fast computing, followed by visualization programs and theaters, all of which allow young geoscientists to practice their computing skills in a highly technical work environment. Also, the discipline grew in parallel with the evolution of data integration and the advent of asset teams in the petroleum industry. Finally, reservoir characterization flourished with the quantum improvements that have occurred in geophysical acquisition and processing techniques and that allow geophysicists to image internal reservoir complexities.

Ecological Responses to the 1980 Eruption of Mount St. Helens

Ecological Responses to the 1980 Eruption of Mount St. Helens
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 0387238689 | edition 2005 | PDF | 348 pages | 9,7 mb

The eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980, had a momentous impact on the fungal, plant, animal, and human life from the mountain to the far reaches of the explosion's ash cloud and mudflows. Although this intense natural event caused loss of substantial life and property, it also created a unique opportunity to examine a huge disturbance of natural systems and their subsequent responses. Based on one of the most studied areas of volcanic activity, Ecological Responses to the 1980 Eruption of Mount St. Helens synthesizes the ecological research that has been conducted for twenty-five years since the eruption.



Research from geology as well as plant and animal ecology has been integrated in this unprecedented look at the complex interactions of biological and physical systems in the response of the volcanic landscape. Lessons from the volcano inform our larger understanding of ecosystem disturbances, natural processes, and the impact of land-use practices. Included are results of significant and long-term research on vegetation, mycorrhizae, plant and animal interactions, arthropods, amphibians, mammals, fish, lakes, nutrient cycling, geomorphology, and environmental management. This comprehensive account will be of value to those interested in natural history, ecology, disturbance, conservation biology, limnology, geoscience, and land management. Questions about what actually happens when a volcano erupts, what the immediate and long-term dangers are, and how life reasserts itself in the environment are discussed in full detail.

Furnace of Creation, Cradle of Destruction: A Journey to the Birthplace of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis

Roy Chester PhD, "Furnace of Creation, Cradle of Destruction: A Journey to the Birthplace of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis"
AMACOM | 2008-07-16 | ISBN: 0814409202 | 256 pages | PDF | 2,5 MB

Over the past few years, devastating tsunamis off the coast of the Indian Ocean have killed hundreds of thousands of people. Even more alarmingly, scientists predict that these tsunamis, as well as a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, may eventually threaten Hawaii, California, and Oregon. The cause of this trinity of natural disasters is plate tectonics. Perhaps the greatest advance made in the field of earth science, the plate-tectonics theory argues that the surface of the Earth is broken into large plates, which change in size and position over time. The edges of these plates rub against each other, causing earthquakes, volca­noes, and tsunamis that continue to inflict such intense destruction to the surface our planet. In Furnace of Creation, Cradle of Destruction, renowned scientist Roy Chester reveals the fascinating history of this discovery and tells the enigmatic story of one of the great mysteries of our time: how the surface of our planet was created and how it has evolved. From the early discoveries of Sir Francis Bacon to the begin­nings of geology and the controversy surrounding the theory of conti­nental drift, this impeccably researched book reveals the evolution of a vital sci­en­ti­fic theory. Lucid and compelling, this book offers a long-awaited explanation of the under­ly­ing forces that shape our world.
