The revolution in the earth sciences consequent on the formulation of the plate or global tectonic hypotesis some 14 years ago is familiar to all concerned with the earth sciences. The effects of this revolution on our understanding of the relationship of ore body genesis and distribution to major tectonic settings can be seen from the voluminous li…
The aim of this book is to give an account of the salient features of earth history in a manner siuted to persons having no previous aquaintance with the subject. Except in the introductory chapters, which deal with general principles and with the origin of the earth, attention is directed primarily to the nature of physical conditions and the recor…
This book is an outgrowth of my interest in the chemistry of sedimentary rocks. In teaching geochemistry, I realized that the example for many chemical processes are drawn from the study of ore deposits. Consequently, we initiated a course at The University of Cincinnati entitled "Sedimentary Ore Deposits," which server as the final quarter course f…
Anyone who compares the present throughly revised and enlarged edition of this book with the three previous ones, the first of which was published in 1962, may well ask wheter the principles of applied geophysics have become more numerous during the last 25 years or so. Such is not the case and the much larger size of the present edition is due to t…
This book is intended to serve two major functions: to be a textbook for an advance undergraduate or graduate level course in paleoecology and to be a reference work and review for the professional paleontologist. Paleoentology is both sfecialized and broad. It is specialized in the sense of being only one aspect in the field of paleontology, and it…
Principles oh Structural Geology is designed to be a concise introduction to the deformation of the earth's crust, encompassing the wide-ranging subject matter of introductory courses in structural geology. Three principal aspects of structural geology are emphasized: The basic principles of natural rock deformation are presented in Part II, Princip…
this book refresents years of work by the ICA spetial data standards commission during the 1995-2003 ICA cycles during which the main scientific work was conducted. the commission began working to develop an exhaustive set of scientific and technical characteristics by which every spetial metadata standard in the world could be assessed and understo…
It is fitting that this work on the granitoid batholits of peru and their geological environs should be published as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the first type of nation geologycal survey (the Britis Geological Survey) in 1835. The investigation was started in1965 by professor W.S. Pitcher to determine whether…
This book intended for undergraduate and graduate students taking an introductory course in geochemistry. It also will serve as a reference text for professional scientists. The book covers the entire field of geochemistry. I assume that the reader has been exposed to some geology, mineralogy, chemistry, and calculus. However, very little chemistry …
The association was honoured by the presence of Dr. D.J. McLaren, Director of the Geological survey of canada, who welcomed the delegates to the meeting, and Dr. J.S. Webb, Professor of applied geochemistry at the Royal School of mines, and President of the institution of mining and metallurgy of london, who gave the opening address. The technical p…
