Dieses allgemein verständliche Buch gibt Antworten auf folgende Fragen: Wo sind Erze für Metalle, wo ist Erdöl zu finden? Der Verbrauch an mineralischen Rohstoffen ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten immer schneller gestiegen, doch die Ressourcen sind begrenzt und der Aufwand, neue Lagerstätten ausfindig zu machen, nimmt zu. Damit wird die Frage, wie Lagerstätten entstehen und wie sie aufzuspüren sind, immer wichtiger. Warum gibt es Kupfer in Chile und in der Lausitz? Wie wichtig ist die Atacamawüst...

The Earth Science Series of the Circum-Pacific Funding for ship time was made available through Council for Energy and Mineral Resources (CPCEMR) the U. S. Agency for International Development, the is designed to convey the results of geologic research in USGS, the U. S. Office of Naval Research (for RIG's and around the Pacific Basin.

As one of the most abundant minerals, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has great significance in both geological and biological systems. Of the six calcium carbonate polymorphs, calcite is the most stable one thermodynamically, which has attracted much attention due to its considerable industrial importance and abundant diversity as a biomineral. This book presents topical research in the study of the formation, properties and applications of calcite, including CaCO3 crystallisation in the presence of...

This book provides a lucid introduction to the basics of gemmology. It familiarizes archaeologists, art historians and conservators with the science of gemstones and allows them to understand the basic concepts of their provenance, typology and treatments.Which are the main types of gems? What treatments can be applied? How does one analyse gems? How can gems contribute to archaeometrical research?This volume is written by four experts in the fields of gemmology and archaeometry and addresses bo...

This volume focuses on research and practical issues linked to Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete. The main subjects are geology of clays, hydration and performance of blended system with calcined clays, alkali activated binders, economic and environmental impacts of the use of calcined clays in cement based materials. Topics addressed in this book include the influence of processing on reactivity of calcined clays, influence of clay mineralogy on reactivity, geology of clay deposits, Port...

This book analyzes hydrocarbon generation and accumulation within space-limited source rocks. The authors draw conclusions based on the principles of basin formation, hydrocarbon generation and accumulation, coupled with the practice of terrigenous basins in eastern China. Hydrocarbon generation and expulsion have been quantitatively assessed in space-limited source rock systems. This book explores new hydrocarbon generation and expulsion models to reflect real geological situations more accurat...
