The geology and geochemistry of petroleum are becoming ever more important as demand for fossil fuels increases worldwide. We must find new hydrocarbon reserves that are hidden in almost inaccessible areas. Our knowledge of petroleum geology and geochemistry is the best intellectual tool that we have for the never ending search for rich new deposits…

This volume introduces groundwater's role in the hydrologic cycle and in water supply, contamination, and construction issues. subsequent chapters introduce physical principles: profertis of subsurface materials, groundwater flow, groundwater geology, deformation, and flow modeling techniques. groundwater science is a well organized, clearly written…
The study of opaque minerals of synthetic solids in published section using the polarizing reflected light microscope is the most important technique for the identification and characterization of the opaque phases in a sample and the textural relationships between them. Since most metalliferous ores are comprised of opaque minerals, this study has …
In recent yeas there have been increasing demands for trace element analysis of geological materials of all kinds-rocks, ores, sediments, soils, natural waters, and extraterrestrial materials. These demands have arisen in the course of work in a wide variety of fields, including mineral exploration, fundamental geochemical studies, soil science, agr…
Coal is becoming an increasingly important factor in the energy resource projections for the remainder of this century. The major use in the generation of electricity is expected to expand as more power plants are converted from petroleum fuels and natural gas to coal. A smaller volume use, the production of metallurgical coke, is expected to increa…
Mineral processing plays a vital role exploriting the natural ore reserves of a country. It is a physical process involving the libration of valuable minerals from the gangue by processes like froth fiotation, gravity separation, etc., and forms the first in the series of metallurgical operations which leads to the production of metals.
During the pst ten years several new elements have entered applications of statistics in geology. One is an increasing shift from descriptive to analytical statistics, largely through greater use of formal statisticalmodels. A second element is the growing emphasis on miltivariate rather than univariate modes of analysis, brought about mainly by inc…
This text diffes in many respects from the conventional approach to geology, so it may be appropriate to indicate some of the objectives that led to its development. Most important and most difficult to realize was the ideal of a book embodying throughout the scientific method. It was felt that the material should alternate between an investigatory …
The granites of the South-East Asian tin belt crop out in a zone extending for almost 4000 km from Burma (Myanmar) to the Indonesian archipelago. This memoir presents the results of six-year project to study the field occurrence, mineralogy, petrography, geochemistry and isotopic characteristics of the granities. As such it represents a truly intern…
