Download or read book The Geology of Texas written by Reid Ferring and published by Thomson Custom Pub. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Geology of Texas is written to accompany introductory courses including physical and historical geology, as well as physical geography, and was designed to compliment the topics of those courses for students in Texas and surrounding regions. The chapter follows the geologic history of Texas from the Precambrian to recent, with illustrations from virtually all parts of the state. Students will see how plate tectonics as well as surficial processes have created the Texas landscape, and how that geologic record influenced the settlement of Texas and the importance of geology to the inhabitants of the region today. A major theme of the chapter is economic geology, with attention to Texas' important energy resources, especially petroleum and coal, and also the vital groundwater sources that will become increasingly important to the regions' growing population. Environmental issues are also stressed, including the impacts of frequent hurricanes and large floods. The series can be bound into any Thomson Brooks/Cole text to create a more compelling regional edition highlighting relevant material.

Download or read book Geo-Texas written by Eric R. Swanson and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geo-Texas succeeds in bringing together astronomy, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and environmental studies in a highly informative, one-of-a-kind guide to Earth sciences in the Lone Star State. Eric R. Swanson draws on the latest scientific findings in treating the natural history of Texas from the oldest known rock, through the age of the dinosaurs, to the geologic present, from the early development of Texas' water and land resources to the current crisis of environmental pollution. In examining Texas natural sciences-and the abiding connection between Texans and their physical surroundings-Geo-Texas is engagingly anecdotal and draws freely on the wry humor with which Texans have always observed and regarded their environment. Entertaining accounts of natural phenomena, such as a meteorite scoring a direct hit on a swimming pool and a Texas twister sweeping up a farmer and returning him to earth unharmed, supplement the scholarship in each chapter to show how cultural and scientific issues converge. Students and teachers of Texas Earth science will find Geo-Texas indispensable. With more than eighty illustrations and valuable appendices listing rock hound clubs, Earth science organizations, and points of interest throughout the state, Geo-Texas will also appeal to the general reader and serve as the Earth science guide for lovers of Texas and its multifaceted environment.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this atlas is to provide a summary ofresearch under taken as par t of a multi-year study (2009¿2014)of Texas state waters and the adjacent federal offshorecontinental shelf (i.e., near offshore waters of the state ofTexas). The goal of the study was to assess and analyze theexisting data from historical hydrocarbon industr y activitiesin a regional transect of the Texas coast in order to verifythe ability of the Miocene age rocks of the region to safelyand permanently store large amounts of anthropogenic(industrial) CO2.The authors¿ intent in producing this atlas is to providea resource for exploring the geological CO2 sequestrationpotential of the near offshore waters of the state of Texas(f ig. 1) by populating the atlas with both large-scale regionalqualitative and detailed quantitative information that canhelp operators to quickly assess CO2 sequestration potentialat specif ic sites. This is the f irst comprehensive attempt todo this for the near offshore in the Gulf Coast and UnitedStates.
