This volume presents up-to-date and innovative research contributing towards advancements in the field of the ore study and of the deposits exploration. The interdisciplinary research that characterizes the European Geoscience Union conferences, which typically covers a very broad range of disciplines dealing with Earth Sciences, is reflected in the contributions gathered in this volume.
This volume aims to address the burning questions of the ore geologists belonging to an academic environment as well as the exploration geologists working for a mining company, giving them a broader overview of the following: (1) new keys for the understanding of the ore deposit genesis and (2) helpful tools for exploration. Moreover, this volume would also prove useful for geochemists, mineralogists and geologists interested in magnetic susceptibility and spectral imaging studies. Indeed, new developments concerning mineral study such as cathodoluminescence, magnetic susceptibility, datings (Re-Os, Sm-Nd methods) and remote sensing are discussed in this volume along with their significant importance in ore deposit exploration.
Описание: This book describes metamorphic rock formation mechanisms in a simplified form. It presents the geometrical rules which control mineral assemblages as a function of rock composition, and provides the basis of a thermodynamical approach used for equilibrium slope calculations as well as for the evaluation of P, T stability fields of mineral associations. On the basis of several examples from the literature, the author emphasizes the relations between different metamorphic gradients and different geodynamic situations. Associated P-T-t paths are examined from several points of view including the respective roles of heat conduction and convection. Audience: This textbook will be useful to undergraduate students in geology, but also to research students and scientists needing to rapidly update their knowledge of metamorphism. It is also accessible to anybody interested in geosciences wanting to acquire a basic knowledge of the close relationships that exist between geodynamics and metamorphic processes.
This book focuses on the strong relation between the tectonic evolution of the Southernmost Andes and their closest southern neighbors, the Scotia Sea and Antarctica. Some episodes are related to processes of global significance such as the opening of the Drake Passage, which is somehow linked to Late Cenozoic cooling. Many of the topics covered in the book are subjects of heated debates; as such, not only the latest data and approaches are presented, but different points of view as well. The chapters examine the interrelation between main geodynamic processes and plate tectonics from a multidisciplinary perspective.
This Paleozoic-Cenozoic geodynamic evolution of the Southernmost Andes involved interrelated metamorphic, magmatic, sedimentary, and deformational processes directed by plate tectonics. The main topics cover the evolution of the Rocas Verdes basin and the Cordillera Darwin high-grade metamorphic complex, growth of the Patagonian Batholith, development of the Patagonian Orocline, the opening of the Drake Passage during growth of the Scotia Sea, evolution of the Austral-Magallanes foreland basin and its related fold and thrust belt.

Описание: Subduction is a major process that plays a first-order role in the dynamics of the Earth. The sinking of cold lithosphere into the mantle is thought by many authors to be the important source of energy for plates driving forces. This book contains a collection of contributions that discusses the perspectives about `Subduction Zone Geodynamics`.
Описание: Geological processes affect the earth itself and human society. Solutions to geological problems, whether natural or man-made, demand close international collaboration. This book presents new approaches to current problems of environmental assessment, demonstrates the interactions between those involved in addressing global problems, and represents a means for the education of others. The book focuses on four major themes: geoenvironmental models, GIS methods and techniques, assessment and resource management, and resource policies and sustainable development. The major topics falling under each theme are introduced, followed by discussions of specific applications. Reports of the discussions of working groups are also presented to round out the individual contributions. The disciplines represented include geology, geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing, economics, biology, mining engineering, resource analysis, mathematics and statistics.
Описание: Extensive descriptions of a wide range of key or world-class mineral deposits of China are presented in the context of the country’s general geology, tectonic units and mineral systems and their geodynamic evolution within the tectonic framework of the Asian continent. This comprehensive overview, incorporating the latest geological concepts, is the first such coverage written in English by a western expert, and will be of benefit to mineral explorers and miners, as well as to research scientists and students in institutions of higher education. In his compilation of this compendium of Chinese geology and mineral systems, Franco Pirajno draws on first-hand knowledge of China’s geology and mineral deposits gained in numerous field visits and research projects with Chinese colleagues from various academic institutions over the past 18 years.First time that a western-based book on China’s geology and mineral deposits is published Appropriate for use by the mineral exploration industry Modern English-language geological and mineral deposits information on China Most useful to Western (and Chinese) geoscientists

Описание: Summarizing the main advances in the understanding of marine minerals, this book concentrates on the deposits of proven economic potential. It is divided into three sections: marine placers, manganese nodules and crusts, and deep-sea hydrothermal mineralization.
Описание: The Joint 6th Biennial SGA-SEG Meeting was held in Krakow in August 2001. This volume contains 274 extended abstracts, grouped thematically under 18 session titles covering topics such as lead-zinc deposits; metamorphism affecting mineral deposits; and the environmental aspects of mining.
Описание: The proceedings of the 30th International Geological Congress held in Beijing, China in August 1997. This volume focuses on energy and mineral resources for the 21st century, the geology of mineral deposits and mineral economics.

Описание: This volume presents an exhaustive overview of major orebodiesand mineral deposits of North Africa. It is intended both for academicresearchers and especially for exploration geologists interested in mineralexploration in the northern part of the African continent. Recent changes inthe mining laws of most countries in this region have encouraged internationalmining companies to invest in local mineral industries. Accordingly, thisvolume will be very useful for these professionals, as well as for researchersin the field of economic geology.
Описание: Slope deposits are common in any inclined relief. So-called cover beds may veil entire landscapes, in which case they are commonly overlooked or confused with soil horizons. This book focuses on these widespread deposits and discusses their properties, genesis, and age mainly in subdued mountains of Central Europe, where to date most research on the matter has been conducted. The ecological consequences of such slope deposits on soils, slope water dynamics, and slope failures are addressed. Finally, transfer of the cover-bed concept to other mid-latitude regions is attempted for the reconstruction of landscape evolution. This unique compilation, covering several decades of a facies-oriented approach to slope-deposit research, delivers deep insight into the wide field of research on cover beds and encourages researchers all over the world to take an in-depth look at the critical zone as to its possible stratified nature.
