Aeolian and Adhesion Morphodynamics and Phytoecology in Recent Coastal and Inland Sand and Snow Flats and Dunes from Mainly North Sea and Baltic Sea to Mars and Venus
Author: Detlef MaderPublisher: Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften
ISBN: 9783631482582
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 1146
Book Description
The outline of the aeolian and adhesion morphodynamics and phytoecology in recent coastal and inland sand and snow flats and dunes includes examples from the North Sea coast (Netherlands, Germany and Denmark), Baltic Sea coast (Germany, Poland, Russia and Lithuania), snow flats on ice plates covering frozen inland lakes (Germany), Great Sand Dunes aeolian dune field and Medano Creek sand flat (Colorado/USA), Red River sand flat (Texas and Oklahoma/USA); and Mars, Venus, Titan, Triton and other bodies in the solar system of planets and satellites. The actual geological, geomorphological and physical geographical study of modern dune fields and fluvial or marine sand flats permits also the comparative palaeoenvironmental interpretation of ancient dune fields and sand flats in fluvial basins in Buntsandstein (Lower Triassic), Rotliegend (Lower Permian) and Keuper (Upper Triassic). Lists of References, Key Words and Illustrations. More than 10,000 References.

Pyroclastic Rocks
Author: Richard V. FisherPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642748643
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 485
Book Description
Pyroclastic Rocks is the first modern comprehensive treatment of what they are and how they were formed. The subject is discussed against a background of plate tectonics theory and modern advances in volcanology, sedimentology and igneous petrology. The book provides a thorough discussion of magmatic volatiles and pyroclastic processes as well as magma-water interactions. Most of the book is concerned with the wide spectrum of pyroclastic rocks formed on land and under water and by fallout and various flowage mechanisms. Diagenetic processes by which pyroclastic particles are transformed into rocks are discussed in detail. The stratigraphic and tectonic importance of pyroclastic rocks are illustrated using selected case histories. This uniquely integrated account of pyroclastic processes, particles and rocks will prove a valuable aid in reconstructing dynamic aspects of earth evolution as well as predicting future volcanic hazards; understanding sedimentary basins containing petroleum and gas deposits; locating ore deposits in volcanic complexes and heat sources in geothermal prospecting; and facilitating stratigraphic analysis in complex volcanic terrains.
The Geology of Mars
Author: Mary ChapmanPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139463705
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
Interpretations of the geological processes operating on Mars are based on our knowledge of processes occurring on Earth. This 2007 book presents contributions from leading planetary geologists to demonstrate the parallels and differences between these two planets, and will therefore be a key reference for students and researchers of planetary science.
