ISBN: 9780984369881
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Gold and Silver in Oregon is the de facto standard on Gold and Silver Mining in Oregon. This rare book was originally published in 1968 by the State of Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Resources and is now back in print from Miningbooks.com. The book breaks the state of Oregon's Gold and Silver Deposits into two parts: Eastern and Western. In depth history is provided on the locations along with numerous maps showing locations of the deposits and mines, schematics on the mines, production histories, geology, and more. Over 300 pages packed full of information.

Geological History of Greenland
Author: Niels HenriksenPublisher: Geus
ISBN: 9788778712110
Category : Geological surveys
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The mountains and fjords of Greenland preserve a record of nearly four billion years of Earth history -- a story of mountain building, volcanic eruptions, primitive life and ice ages. During this vast period of time, through processes of continental drift, Greenland has journeyed from the southern hemisphere through the tropics to its present polar position. This volume presents an account of the geological evolution of Greenland, together with its mineral wealth and hydrocarbon potential. It is written in a form that is aimed at the general reader with an interest in the dramatic history of our planet.
Remote Sensing of Clouds and Precipitation
Author: Constantin AndronachePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319725831
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This book presents current applications of remote sensing techniques for clouds and precipitation for the benefit of students, educators, and scientists. It covers ground-based systems such as weather radars and spaceborne instruments on satellites. Measurements and modeling of precipitation are at the core of weather forecasting, and long-term observations of the cloud system are vital to improving atmospheric models and climate projections. The first section of the book focuses on the use of ground-based weather radars to observe and measure precipitation and to detect and forecast storms, thunderstorms, and tornadoes. It also discusses the observation of clouds using ground-based millimeter radar. The second part of the book concentrates on spaceborne remote sensing of clouds and precipitation. It includes cases from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, using satellite radars to observe precipitation systems. Then, the focus is on global cloud observations from the ClaudSat, Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO), including a perspective on the Earth Clouds, Aerosols, and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) satellite. It also addresses global atmospheric water vapor profiling for clear and cloudy conditions using microwave observations. The final part of this volume provides a perspective into advances in cloud modeling using remote sensing observations.
