Grade 8 Up—Since the
first edition of this book was published in 1998, technology for
geological fieldwork has improved immensely. The coverage of these
innovations, in a new chapter called "Monitoring Earth," is this
book's best feature. It provides useful overviews, at a level of
detail and in a vocabulary that is perfect for the audience, of
concepts such as satellite laser ranging, which is used to measure
the movement of continents, and the use of satellites in mapping the
ozone layer. The rest of the book discusses the planet's formation;
plate tectonics; methods of rock creation; how the sea, ice, and
wind change the landscape; deciphering Earth's history from fossils
and other rocks; exploitation of rocks and minerals, and, in another
updated section, provides lists of prominent geologists and relevant
institutions. |

An absolutely first-class piece of
writing…a very full and solid work that is bound to stand as a
reliable textbook for the students and an essential reference for
engineers. …All will enjoy the book and will dip into it many times.
…The author is to be specially commended for having assembled such a
set of chapters for the production of the volume that will be of
inestimable value to the target audience, besides being also
enormously valuable in a difficult situation as an immediate
on-the-spot reference to those already well immersed in the field. …
No one writing about this subject for students in future, will be
able to ignore this graceful and probing book so imaginatively

Lavishly illustrated in color, this
textbook takes an applied approach to introduce undergraduate
students to the basic principles of structural geology. The book
provides unique links to industry applications in the upper crust,
including petroleum and groundwater geology, which highlight the
importance of structural geology in exploration and exploitation of
petroleum and water resources. Topics range from faults and
fractures forming near the surface to shear zones and folds of the
deep crust. Students are engaged through examples and parallels
drawn from practical everyday situations, enabling them to connect
theory with practice. Containing numerous end-of-chapter problems,
e-learning modules, and with stunning field photos and
illustrations, this book provides the ultimate learning experience
for all students of structural geology. |

This combination of text and lab book
presents an entirely different approach to structural geology.
Designed for undergraduate laboratory classes, it provides a
step-by-step guide for solving geometric problems arising from
structural field observations. The book discusses both traditional
methods and cutting-edge approaches, with emphasis given to
graphical methods and visualization techniques that support students
in tackling challenging two- and three-dimensional problems.
Numerous exercises encourage practice in using the techniques, and
demonstrate how field observations can be converted into useful
information about geological structures and the processes
responsible for creating them. |
faults geology |
There aren't nearly
enough maps to help you locate the faults, nor are there enough GPS
coordinates given, nor do you get anything more than a boring
cartoon summary for most of the faults. Given the amazing subject
matter, and strange science that exist for each of them, The
geologists who work on these faults are some of the most fascinating
and colorful people you'll ever meet, and veryone who has worked on
faults has some really funny or scary stories to tell about them. |

information there but it is presented in an interesting way, with
useful summaries. ...Clyde Moore is to be congratulated on writing a
fine book that is a must for all carbonate and petroleum geologists
and which comes with a CD-ROM that will be very useful indeed for
graduate students and others to browse through while reading the
book.

Carbonate Reservoir Characterization: An Integrated
Approach [Hardcover
F. Jerry Lucia, working in America’s main oil-rich state, has
produced a work that goes after one of the holy grails of oil
prospecting. One main target in petroleum recovery is the
description of the three-dimensional distribution of petrophysical
properties on the interwell scale in carbonate reservoirs. Doing so
would improve performance predictions by means of fluid-flow
computer simulations. Lucia’s book focuses on the improvement of
geological, petrophysical, and geostatistical methods, describes the
basic petrophysical properties, important geology parameters, and
rock fabrics from cores, and discusses their spatial distribution. A
closing chapter deals with reservoir models as an input into flow
simulators |

Seismic Imaging of Carbonate Reservoirs and Systems (AAPG Memoir)
[Hardcover]
Recent advances in seismic acquisition, processing and visualization
techniques image carbonate strata with unprecedented resolution.
This volume documents the current state of the art in seismic
imaging and interpreting of carbonate systems and captures the
dynamics of the carbonate system on a large exploration scale and on
a small reservoir scale.
The book emphasizes the newest approaches in seismic visualization,
seismic sedimentology and stratigraphy, seismic attribute analysis
and their application for building improved 3-D reservoir models.
Among the topics covered are the delineation of the complex
histories of carbonate platform sequences from seismic data, the
relationships between geometries and forming processes, the imaging
of faults for improved mapping of potential fluid migration
pathways, and use of seismic attributes for the extraction of rock
properties in the sedimentary bodies. |
