Stereographic Projection Techniques for Geologists and Civil Engineers

Cornwall's geology has been the subject of considerable interest to academic and commercial geologists due to its diversity and complexity. This volume contains contributions by 21 leading geologists, providing an up-to-date review of current research.

Using the earth systems approach, Dr Merritts and her colleagues guide readers towards an understanding of Earth's varied environments, the whole-Earth systems connecting them and the ramifications of natural events and human interaction.

Gives an introduction to geology and the way Earth works for A Level students. This text explores the Earth as a complex, active natural phenomenon stressing the interconnections between core geological concepts and emphasizing their importance in human terms. It also covers the physical, chemical and other processes involved in forming of Earth.

Covers the most important problems that arise at mid-ocean ridges; for researchers working in the earth sciences.

Suitable for teachers of OCR A Level specifications who want to deliver the style A Level, this book engages students and supports them through the transition from GCSE. It includes two sections with advice on improving practical and field skills. It integrates How Science Works to help students understand the underlying principles of science.

Weathered crust elution - deposited rare earth ore (original name is the ion-adsorbed rare earth ore) was first discovered as a novel exogenous ore in Jiangxi province of China in 1969. There are many advantages for the ore which has a widespread distribution, reserves, radioactivity, RE partitioning and is rich in middle and heavy rare earth.

Subduction is a major process that plays a first-order role in the dynamics of the Earth. This title contains a collection of contributions that were presented in June 2007 in Montpellier (France) in a conference that gave a panorama and discussed the perspectives about 'Subduction Zone Geodynamics'.

Explores geochemical kinetics - the application of chemical kinetics to geological problems. This book examines advanced theories developed by geochemists, such as nonisothermal kinetics and inverse theories, including geochronology (isotopic dating), thermochronology (temperature-time history), and geospeedometry (cooling rates).
