    Crystallography : Introduction to the Study of Minerals (2022)
    Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :
    Details
    Keywords: Earth sciences. ; Geochemistry. ; Earth Sciences. ; Geochemistry.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Geometric Crystallography -- Introduction to Crystallography -- Periodicity, Crystal Lattice, Symbols and Notations -- Lattices and Symmetry -- Point Symmetry -- Space Groups.
    Abstract: This textbook presents an extensive manual of crystallography, including geometric crystallography, crystallochemistry, and crystallophysics. Illustrated with a wealth of figures and diagrams, it offers a thorough introduction to crystals for undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning the essentials and advanced concepts of crystallography. The book begins with basic concepts such as the geometry, morphology and symmetry of lattices, allowing readers to approach the subject from a mathematical point of view, abstracting it from its material content. In turn, the second part focuses on crystallochemistry and explains the differences between ideal and real crystals, and between static and dynamic ones. The third part of the textbook concerns crystallophysics and addresses the electrical, magnetic, mechanical, elastic and optical properties of crystals, as well as the fundamental laws and methods of X-ray diffraction.

    Abstract: The book describes the structure, composition and evolution of the Earth, the main geological processes occurring on it, and how some crucial environmental matters that are amply debated in the media (e.g. pollution, greenhouse effect) can be fully understood by placing them in the holistic context of the system Earth as a whole. It provides basic information on a series of key geological issues, from the structure and composition of the Earth to the large-scale processes that characterize our planet, such as rock alteration and sedimentation, magmatism, geomagnetism, seismicity, plate tectonics, cyclical migration of chemical elements through various Earth reservoirs (Geochemical Cycles), and evolution of the planet from Hadean to present. It intends to reach a wide readership, which is interested in our planet and wish to have a general and comprehensive view of its origin, evolution and activity. Potential readership includes undergraduate and advanced undergraduate students in Geology and other scientific disciplines, and any moderately- to well-educated people interested in the surrounding world and eager to gain a basic knowledge of the Earth and to reach an integrated view of how our planet is working. Includes debated issues of the environmental changes by framing them within the evolution and history of the Earth.

    Ancient Hydrocarbon Seeps (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Physical geography. ; Paleoecology. ; Evolution (Biology). ; Geochemistry. ; Earth System Sciences. ; Paleoecology. ; Evolutionary Biology. ; Geochemistry.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1-Introduction -- Chapter 2-Biogeochemical processes -- Chapter 3-Taphonomy and diagenesis of seeps -- Chapter 4-Biota -- Chapter 5-Seeps around the world -- Chapter 6-Seeps as ecosystems -- Chapter 7-Evolution of seep communities over geological time -- Chapter 8-Cognate communities.
    Abstract: This volume details the function of hydrocarbon seeps, their evolution over time, the most important seep occurrences and the fauna present in ancient hydrocarbon seeps. While several publications exist that cover modern seeps and vents, fossil seeps only constitute a small component of the literature. As such, many geologists, stratigraphers and paleontologists, as well as undergraduates and graduate students, are not very familiar with ancient hydrocarbon seep deposits and their associated fauna. This text is the first to comprehensively discuss the nature of such animal groups and how to recognize them. In addition to summarizing available knowledge on these topics for specialists in the field, this book offers the background needed to be of use to students as well as the wider community of geologists and paleontologists.

    Description / Table of Contents: The Scientific Discovery of Merapi: From Ancient Javanese Sources to the 21st Century -- Physical Environment and Human Context at Merapi Volcano: A Complex Balance Between Accessing Livelihoods and Coping With Volcanic Hazards -- Merapi and Its Dynamic 'Disaster Culture' -- The Geodynamic Setting and Geological Context of Merapi Volcano in Central Java, Indonesia -- Crustal Structure and Ascent of Fluids and Melts Beneath Merapi: Insights From Geophysical Investigations -- Geological History, Chronology and Magmatic Evolution of Merapi -- The Godean Debris Avalanche Deposit From a Sector Collapse of Merapi Volcano.
    Abstract: This book provides the first comprehensive compilation of cutting-edge research on Merapi volcano on the island of Java, Indonesia, one of the most iconic volcanoes in the world. It integrates results from both the natural (geology, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, physical volcanology) and social sciences, and provides state-of-the-art information on volcano monitoring, the assessment of volcanic hazards, and risk mitigation measures. As one of Indonesia’s most active and dangerous volcanoes, Merapi is perhaps best known for its pyroclastic density currents, which are produced by gravitational or explosive lava dome failures (commonly referred to as Merapi-type nuées ardentes). Merapi’s eruptions have posed a persistent threat to life, property and infrastructure within the densely populated areas on the volcano’s flanks, as demonstrated most recently by catastrophic eruptions, which attracted worldwide media interest.

Discoveries and the role of science in the Yilgarn goldfields of Western Australia -- Chapter 21. Discovery of Fosterville Deeps, Victorian Gold Province: long term science -- Chapter 22. Summary and conclusions.
    Abstract: This book addresses the origin of gold deposits to answer questions of science and curiosity. These answers contribute in turn to the improved exploration and mining of gold. Initially there is a summary of the methods used to address the genesis of gold deposits including some of the essential science and concepts. Five basic observations follow that apply to many gold deposits and need to be considered in any genetic ideas. Magmatic processes enriching gold are discussed followed by the role of aqueous fluids during gold deposit formation at elevated temperatures and pressures. Modifying effects after deposit formation include high-grade metamorphism, retrogression, weathering, and erosion. The main types of gold deposits are then explained within the spectrum of viable genetic ideas, with informal names for these examples that include gold-only, gold-plus, Carlin, slate-belt, epithermal, porphyry, iron oxide copper gold, and Archean greenstone. Case histories are included in which the role of gold geology contributed directly to discoveries—one example is at the province-scale and another at the goldfield-scale. Unlike other books on the subject, this one addresses virtually all gold deposit types rather than focusing on one type in isolation. The primary readership includes industry geologists, senior undergraduates, postgraduates, and those with some knowledge of science and an interest in the gold industry.
