"Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes" is the first senior undergraduate - postgraduate textbook to focus specifically on the multiplicity of geological processes that result in the formation of mineral deposits. Commencing with an overview of magmatic ore-forming processes, the text moves systematically through hydrothermal and sedimentary metallogenic environments, covering as it does the entire gamut of mineral deposit types, including the fossil fuels and supergene ores. The final chapter relates metallogeny to global tectonics by examining the distribution of mineral deposits in space and time. The text is punctuated with boxed examples of world famous ore deposits which provide context and relevance to the process-oriented descriptions of ore genesis. This book brings the discipline of economic geology back into the realm of conventional mainstream earth science by emphasizing the fact that mineral deposits are simply one of the many natural wonders of geological process and evolution. "Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes" has been written as a core text for advanced undergraduates or graduate students in earth science programs taking a course in economic geology, mineral deposits, or ore geochemistry, and for geologists working in mineral exploration, the mining industry, and related areas.

Hidrología Subterránea. Tomo Ii Custodio, E. - Llamas, M.R. Hasta hace relativamente pocos años, la hidrología subterránea era una disciplina que solamente atraía la atención de un grupo reducido de investigadores de las ciencias de la Tierra y de la ingenieria. En la actualidad el numero de personas interesadas por las aguas subterraneas, en los campos cientifico, tecnico, socioeconomico, administrativo y legal, es ya importante, y se esta produciendo una clara toma de conciencia de su importancia intrinseca y de su papel esencial en el ciclo hidrologico y de su interes social y economico, tanto en los paises desarrollados como en aquellos en vias de desarrollo. El origen de esta obra debe buscarse en el Curso Internacional de Hidrologia Subterranea que se realizo en Barcelona en el año 1966.

"Basin Analysis" is an up-to-date overview of the essential processes of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, and their implications for the development of hydrocarbon resources. Since the first edition of this important and popular text, there has been an explosion of new data, new technology and new concepts in the field. This new edition takes account of these developments while retaining the successful structure and philosophy of the original text. "Basin Analysis" builds an understanding of sedimentary basins by examining the principles underlying how basins function by looking at their structure, thermal and subsidence history, and stratigraphic architecture. "Basin Analysis" is an up-to-date overview of the essential processes of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, and their implications for the development of hydrocarbon resources. The new edition features: A consideration of the fundamental physical state of the lithosphere. A discussion on the major types of lithospheric deformation relevant to basin development - stretching and flexure. A new chapter on the effects of mantle dynamics. Radically revised chapters on the basin-fill. A new chapter on the erosional engine for sediment delivery to basins, reflecting the massive and exciting advances in this area in the last decade. Expansion of the techniques used in approaching problems in basin analysis. Updated chapters on subsidence analysis and measurements of thermal maturity of organic and non-organic components of the basin-fill. New material on thermochronological and exposure dating tools. Inclusion of the important petroleum system concept in the updated section on the application to the petroleum play.

ISBN: 9781780406350 Género: PDG:TQSW:TQSR Sinópsis: Water Management and Water Loss contains a selection of papers and articles written by various internationally recognised specialists in the field of water loss reduction. The articles have been drawn together from IWA conferences during the past 5 years and provide details of how water losses from Municipal distribution systems can be reduced. The book provides useful background information and reference materials to help explain the different approaches and interventions that are used to reduce water losses. Numerous real case studies are provided that highlight the processes and methodologies employed around the world to reduce water losses. Water Management and Water Loss covers many aspects of water loss control including, pressure management, leak detection and repair, Internal plumbing losses and retrofitting, community involvement and education/awareness, schools education and leak repair projects.

An overview of increasingly indispensable radiometric technologiesMicrowave radiometers have become a central part of Earth observation and radioastronomy. Most existing reference works on the subject, however, largely omit two key types of radiometers: interferometric radiometers and polarimetric radiometers. The extensive applications of these two classes of radiometer and their potential for mapping distant celestial bodies and enhancing Earth observation has made it critical for the next generation of radiometric scientists and engineers to be familiar with this technology and its principles.Principles of Interferometric and Polarimetric Radiometry meets this crucial need with a first-in-class overview of this key subject. Beginning with an introduction to the foundational concepts of microwave radiometry, it proceeds to work through a careful revision of the fields major theory and techniques, with a particular emphasis on interferometric and polarimetric systems. The result promises to revolutionize the use of microwave passive sensors for Earth observation and beyond.

"Biological Oceanography" provides a comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to many aspects of ocean ecology. Taking a biological approach, it looks at the ecology of all marine life and covers recent developments that have allowed a re-examination of the ocean''s microbial ecology and the role of the various trophic and organismal groups in biogeochemical cycling, carbon flow, and climate control. Coverage includes pelagic, benthic, and hydrothermal habitats, modeling and fisheries. This book is essential reading for advanced students in biological oceanography, marine biology, and general marine science courses. Special features of "Biological Oceanography" are: Descriptions of all the prominent groups of organisms Basic process models with programs included Techniques and terminology included in explanatory boxes Extensive color-plate section Over 200 illustrations This modern textbook of biological oceanography is aimed at students taking oceanography, marine biology and marine sciences courses. It covers recent developments such as the molecular techniques (including sequence data) that have allowed a re-examination of the ocean''s microbial ecology and the role of the various trophic groups in biogeochemical cycling, carbon flow and climate control. Major topics covered include phytoplankton bloom, microbial food web, marine biogeography, global climate change and an overview of fisheries oceanography. Difficult concepts are explained in a straightforward manner, making this book accessible to undergraduates, graduates and researchers alike. Features a chapter on important numerical models which have become indispensable in biological oceanography. Further details of key terms and important topics are highlighted in boxes Models, formulas, methodologies, and techniques are described and explained throughout.
