This book emerged from courses of lectures in Applied Mathematics given some time ago in the Universities of Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney. The present edition preserves the form of the more mathematical parts of the previous editions, but contains a number of major changes and much new matter, especially in the second half of the book. The earlier…
The Society of Exploration Geophysicists is proud to publish this Memorial Volume honoring the late Dr. Morris Miller Slotnick was an out standing figure in the geophysical field and during his career was the author of numerous papers dealing with geophysical interpretaion. Some of the computing prosedures which he developed have been used extensive…
The subjects of sediment transport and flow in alluvial streams are gaining importance with the increasing utilization of water resources. Considerable research has been done in sediment transportation and the problems related to alluvial streams in the past four decades by hydraulic engineers, geologist and researchers from other disciplines such a…
With an increasing awareness of the finiteness of ore reserves and hence of the need for increasingly sophisticated and expensive exploration techniques, economic geology has emerged as a fruitful discipline. In this book the relevance of the new global tectonic models are assessed in their relation to man's search for future geological resources. A…
This book ofters geologists and petroleumengineers the unique change to study well-logging data compiled during the actual drilling of 14 wells in different formation. Each well presented unique challenges and problems in the areas of kick detection, abnormal pressures, and drilling through shales, evaporites and sandstones. Technical background dat…
Sedimentation and stratigraphy have long been an integral part of the undergraduate geology curriculum. Some curricula contain a one-term combined course, others have separate courses in fashion. Over the past several decades there have been surprisingly few textbooks written for first-level courses on these topics, but there are several advanced or…
Writing a book is a team effort. My team has been small but effective. Pride of place must go to Mrs Patricia Stewart who typed the entire first version of the manuscript with great patience, although sometimes reduced to muttering in her native Erse at the fiddly mathematical expressions. My reviewers worked nearly as hard, correcting, advising and…
The third edition of Economics of the mineral Industries is a completely new volume. The genesis of this volume was a feeling by the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers that world events since the second edition justified a new and broader approach to the issues addressed. Specifically, during the 1960's and continui…
The handbook will be published over the next few years in a series of individual volumes. In addition ti this book the following volumes are being prepared : Statistics and Data Analysis in Geochemical Prospecting, rock geochemistry in mineral exploration, Drainage Geochemistry in Mineral Exploration, Soil Geochemistry in Mineral Exploration, and Vo…
