Book excerpt: This extensively updated new edition of the widely acclaimed Treatise on Geochemistry has increased its coverage beyond the wide range of geochemical subject areas in the first edition, with five new volumes which include: the history of the atmosphere, geochemistry of mineral deposits, archaeology and anthropology, organic geochemistry and analytical geochemistry. In addition, the original Volume 1 on "Meteorites, Comets, and Planets" was expanded into two separate volumes dealing with meteorites and planets, respectively. These additions increased the number of volumes in the Treatise from 9 to 15 with the index/appendices volume remaining as the last volume (Volume 16). Each of the original volumes was scrutinized by the appropriate volume editors, with respect to necessary revisions as well as additions and deletions. As a result, 27% were republished without major changes, 66% were revised and 126 new chapters were added. In a many-faceted field such as Geochemistry, explaining and understanding how one sub-field relates to another is key. Instructors will find the complete overviews with extensive cross-referencing useful additions to their course packs and students will benefit from the contextual organization of the subject matter Six new volumes added and 66% updated from 1st edition. The Editors of this work have taken every measure to include the many suggestions received from readers and ensure comprehensiveness of coverage and added value in this 2nd edition The esteemed Board of Volume Editors and Editors-in-Chief worked cohesively to ensure a uniform and consistent approach to the content, which is an amazing accomplishment for a 15-volume work (16 volumes including index volume)!

Book excerpt: From wave-cut rock cliffs and sea caves to gravel beaches and coastal dunes, California’s coastline has enthralled visitors from around the world. A Coast to Explore describes the origins of these coastal features and unravels the wonderful mystery of how the birth of the San Andreas Fault system created what we see today. Miles O. Hayes and Jacqueline Michel have been mapping the coast of California since the 1980s as part of a larger initiative to protect coastlines around the world from hazardous oil spills. A Coast to Explore is the culmination of their work. Through a delightful narrative, it details the geological evolution of central California’s coast from Bodega Bay to Point Conception, including the effects of erosion during El Niños, the impacts of tsunamis, and the formation of spectacular raised marine terraces. Key ecological resources are described for each of the major subdivisions of the coast. Through richly illustrated diagrams, full-color photographs, and satellite images, A Coast to Explore takes readers on a fascinating journey of discovery so they can better understand why the Central California coast is so remarkable.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation addresses recurrent questions in hydrocarbon reservoir characteri¬zation. In particular, the major focus of this research volume is microtextural characterization of source rock fabric as well as elastic and transport properties of source rocks. Source rocks are one of the most complicated and intriguing natural materials on earth. Their multiphase composition is continually evolving over various scales of length and time, creating the most heterogeneous class of rocks in existence. The heterogeneities are present from the submicroscopic scale to the macroscopic scale, and all contribute to a pronounced anisotropy and large variety of shale macroscopic behavior. Moreover, the effects of the multiphase composition are amplified within organic-rich rocks that contain varying amounts of kerogen. Despite significant research into the properties of kerogen, fundamental questions remain regarding how the intrinsic rock-physics properties of the organic fraction affect the macroscopic properties of host rocks. Because we do not fully understand the elastic properties of either the organic matter or the individual clay minerals present in source rocks, seismic velocity prediction in organic-rich shales remains challenging. Conventional measurements of 'macroscopic' or 'average' properties on core plugs are not sufficient to fully address the degree of property variation within organic-rich rocks. Alternatively, most analyses of organic matter rely on samples that have been isolated by dissolving the rock matrix. The properties of the organic matter before and after such isolation may be different, and all information about sample orientation is lost. In addition, comprehensive characterization of organic-rich rocks has been hindered by several factors: sample preparation is time-consuming, and the nanogranular nature of this rock type makes it difficult to link effective elastic properties to maceral properties, such as elastic moduli, composition, maturity, and quality. These difficulties have prevented us from building large databases, without which we cannot establish the accurate rock-physics models needed for inverting field geophysical data. I approach this issue using atomic-force microscopy based nanoindentation, coupled with scanning electron and confocal laser-scanning microscopy as a tool for visualization and identification of the organic part within shale, and to perform nanoscale elastic-property measurements. First, the microfabric of a set of source rock samples is characterized. The spatial and temporal link between organic matter and the stiff silicate mineral matrix is established, which leads to proposal of alternative Rock Physics modeling approach to organic-rich source rocks. Based on the nanoindentation measurements, I obtain elastic properties of source rock phases and provide several applications of these (nanoindentation-derived) elastic properties within a number of geomechanical problems. Finally, transport properties of various source rock formations are discussed based on comparison to more conventional reservoir rocks.

This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume showcases recent geological, geophysical and geochemical research on the Carboniferous Bowland Shale Formation. The volume focuses on the key Carboniferous basins in the Midlands, northern England and North Wales. The Bowland Shale is perhaps the most controversial black shale unit in the UK. In the mid-2000s, attention turned to the Bowland Shale as a target for unconventional hydrocarbon exploration in the UK following success in the USA. This placed the Bowland Shale at the centre of a series of interconnected controversies and debates from the local to national scale. The geological credibility of the purported shale gas resource in the UK was – and continues to be – highly contentious. This volume contributes to a more updated view of the Bowland Shale, covering topics such as sedimentary, geochemical and physical properties and processes, basin-forming events, hydrocarbon prospectivity, mineralization and heat and fluid flow in the subsurface. The volume also includes a field guide to some of the key localities in the UK.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a state of the art look at our understanding of joint development in the crust. Answers are provided for such questions as the mechanisms by which joints are initiated, the factors controlling the path they follow during the propagation process, and the processes responsible for the arrest of joints. Many of the answers to these questions can be inferred from the geometry of joint surface morphology and joint patterns. Joints are a record of the orientation of stress at the time of propagation and as such they are also useful records of ancient stress fields, regional and local. Because outcrop and subsurface views of joints are limited, statistical techniques are required to characterize joints and joint sets. Finally, joints are subject to post-propagation stresses that further localize deformation and are the focus for the development of new structures.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The published evidence on lithic raw material procurement in prehistoric times that has been gathered since the nineteenth century is presented in many languages, and is available in both local and international journals. Nowadays, it appears quite overwhelming, almost impossible, to grasp the full extent of research regarding this topic. Publications on methodological grounds or on the synthesis of specific geographical areas have inevitably provided limited scope for reflection and discussion. This volume offers a reference that can provide the 'raw material' for scholars interested in furthering their understanding of prehistoric economic strategies of lithic procurement and exploitation. It is the result of several years collecting bibliographical references. Publications ranging from a simple mention of a few raw materials present at a specific site to detailed studies of lithic sourcing and procurement strategies or the geo-archaeological assessment of chert available in a particular region, have been taken into consideration.
