The Boundaries of the West African Craton
The boundaries of rigid cratons can be affected by subsequent orogenic events, leading to ‘metacratonic’ characteristics not often properly recognized and still poorly understood. Major lithospheric thickening is absent and early events such as ophiolites are preserved; however, metacratonic boundaries are affected by major shear zones, abundant magmatism and mineralizations, and local high-pressure metamorphism. West [...]
Deformation Mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics: From Minerals to the Lithosphere
This book consists of 18 papers on deformation mechanisms, rheology and tectonics. The main approaches include experimental rock deformation, microstructural analysis, field structural studies, analogue and numerical modeling. New results on various topics are presented, ranging from brittle to ductile deformation and grain-scale to lithosphere-scale mechanisms. The volume contains review papers on several major current [...]
Structural Analysis and Synthesis: A Laboratory Course in Structural Geology
This widely used, highly readable introduction to structural analysis is specifically designed to support the laboratory work of undergraduates in structural geology courses. The new third edition includes: New and amended exercises and redrafted figures to improve clarity A single fold-out map of the Bree Creek Quadrangle – a mythical site used to help students [...]
Geología del Petróleo del Norte de África. Petroleum Geology of North Africa
The main objectives of this book are to increase the level of documentation towards that appropriate for such major petroleum provinces and to facilitate the application of analogues between North African countries and beyond. This volume represents the first attempt at a compilation of the petroleum geology of North Africa, documenting a series of papers [...]
Mountains of Madness: A Scientist's Odyssey in Antarctica
By John Long (geólogo!) Mountains of Madness is a moving tale of science, exploration, and human endurance. It is the story of how real science is practiced in a unique and demanding setting. Rather than a presentation of research findings, this book recounts what life is like in the field, where scientists come close to [...]
Terrane Processes at the Margins of Gondwana
The Australide orogen, the southern hemisphere Neoproterozoic to Mesozoic terrane accretionary orogen that forms the palaeo-Pacific margin of Gondwana, is one of the largest and longest-lived orogens on Earth. This book brings together a series of reviews and multidisciplinary research papers that comprehensively cover the Australides from the Tasman orogen of eastern Australia to the [...]
Continentes y Supercontinentes. Continents and Supercontinents
To this day, there is a great amount of controversy about where, when and how the so-called supercontinents–Pangea, Godwana, Rodinia, and Columbia–were made and broken. Continents and Supercontinents frames that controversy by giving all the necessary background on how continental crust is formed, modified, and destroyed, and what forces move plates. It also discusses how [...]
Antarctica Contributions to Global Earth Sciences
The almost completely ice covered Antarctic continent and the seasonally to permanently ice covered Southern Ocean surrounding it, have in no way lost their fascination and interest for geoscientists. With increasing scientific and public awareness for global change matters, the Antarctic region receives particular interest.Ongoing research on marine sediments, lake sediments and ice cores shed [...]
Geological structure of the Alpine. Carpathian. Pannonian junction and neighbouring slopes of the Bohemian Massif
By Kováč & Plašienka (2002).This textbook describes the structure of a geologically unique part of Europe located at the junction of three principal regional geological domains – the Bohemian Massif, the Alpine-Carpathian Orogenic Belt and the Pannonian Basin System. This area is not strictly defined; it covers the areas of western Slovakia, southern Moravia, northeastern [...]
Introduccion a la Radiacion Atmosferica. An Introduction to Atmospheric Radiation por K. N. Liou.pdf
This Second Edition of An Introduction to Atmospheric Radiation has been extensively revised to address the fundamental study and quantitative measurement of the interactions of solar and terrestrial radiation with molecules, aerosols, and cloud particles in planetary atmospheres. It contains 70% new material, much of it stemming from the investigation of the atmospheric greenhouse effects [...]
