The last decade has seen a remarkable increase in the application of geomorphology for numerous projects and investigations. Geomor­ phology is now viewed as an indispensable partner of engineering and geology in the world of...

The importance of irrigation in the world's agriculture is rapidly increasing. Although it is practised on a large scale mainly in arid and semi-arid zones, supplementary irrigation is becoming popular in semi-humid regions as...

The reconstruction of ancient marine environments is an important task of the Earth Sciences, of great interest to geology, pure and applied, to oceanography and climatology, as well as to such fields as ecology and evolution...

The unsaturated zone is the medium through which pollutants move from the soil surface to groundwater. Polluting substances are subjected to complex physical, chemical and biological transformations while moving through the...

Metals in the hydrological cycle represent a very broad subject covering all parts of the geological cycle. The present version of this book, therefore, would not have been possible without the comments and suggestions for...

3 of the experience of the last few generations. The group of happily unexperienced events includes large bolide impacts with the Earth. The evidence for the occurrence of such impacts at intervals of some tens of millions of...

The original Russian edition of the monograph Paleozoic salt forma­ tions ofthe world was published by Nedra, Moscow, in 1974. The description of salt basins was given as of 1970-1971 and based on the literature available at...

The Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB) 48-Göttingen, a Special Collaborative Programme of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, was one of the first of such programmes. It was launched in 1969 under the general title "Evolution,...

It is now well known that the mid-ocean flow is almost everywhere domi­ nated by so-called synoptic or meso-scale eddies, rotating about nearly vertical axes and extending throughout the water column. A typical mid­ ocean...

I am pleased to be able to introduce this book by Monsieur lean-Claude Gall, firstly because it is a book, secondly because its author has been a colleague for 15 years, and finally because it is a book which demonstrates the...

Coated grains have always attracted attention, at first of naturalists, and later of geologists, and the interest in these peculiar bodies was re­ lated both to their intriguing form and their significance in facies inter­...

Progress in Precambrian geology has been exceptionally great, indeed quite striking for geologists of the older generation; only some 30-40 years ago the Precambrian appeared as an uncertain and even mystic prelude to geologic...

Reviewers of the German edition of this book found that the text deals with facts and descriptions of limestones rather than with glo­ bal speculations on facies models or large-scale sedimentation pat­ terns. The book is...

The Northwest African and the conjugate Northeast American con­ tinental margins provide excellent examples of mature passive continental margins which record in their thick sediment cover the birth and evolution of the...

Students of a phenomenon as common but complex as andesite genesis often are overwhelmed by, or overlook, the volume and diversity of relevant information. Thus there is need for periodic overview even in the absence of a...

The principal aim of the present work is to understand the evolution of halogenesis in the Paleozoic. To succeed in the study it was neces­ sary to make a general and systematic synthesis of data available on world-wide...

The present publication on karst hydrology and physical speleology combines two subjects which have up to now been treated separately. The two fields of knowledge have gone their separate ways, less as a result of differences...

During the 2nd International Symposium on Fossil Algae, organized by the University P. & M. Curie, Paris, in April 1979, a special session was devoted to stromatolites; 29 papers were presented in French, English, or Russian...

Colloid science has been applied by soil chemists and clay mineral­ ogists for many years, and some of the most important studies on the behavior of colloids have been contributed by them. Barring a few notable exceptions, only...

I was invited to write this book as part of the Minerals, Rocks and Organic Materials Series of Springer-Verlag by Professor Peter J. Wyllie in 1974. Ophiolites have preoccupied me ever since 1948 as a graduate student and up...

Over the last dozen years there has been a great development in the study of matter on the micro-scale by means of the light microscope, which has coincided with the rapid growth of auto­ mation and the use of computers. The...

Algae and Algal Carbonates are of interest to geo- and bioscientists because of the significant interactions between algal life and environ­ ment. Much information about systematical, morphological and eco­ logical data of...

Geotectonics has a special place among the geological dis­ ciplines. In addition to ideas based on firmly established facts that constitute lasting scientific values, geotectonics, as a generalizing branch of geology, embraces...

The problem of time-and strata-bound formation of ore deposits has during the past decade become one of the most debated topics in cur­ rent international discussion. Due to the amazing results of modern mineral exploration and...

The determination of crustal structure by means of explo­ sion seismology has been one of the major objectives of the European Seismological Commission (ESC) over the past twenty-five years. It was decided some time ago to...
