The Initiation, Propagation, and Arrest of Joints and Other Fractures
Author: John W. CosgrovePublisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 9781862391659
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
This volume is a state of the art look at our understanding of joint development in the crust. Answers are provided for such questions as the mechanisms by which joints are initiated, the factors controlling the path they follow during the propagation process, and the processes responsible for the arrest of joints. Many of the answers to these questions can be inferred from the geometry of joint surface morphology and joint patterns. Joints are a record of the orientation of stress at the time of propagation and as such they are also useful records of ancient stress fields, regional and local. Because outcrop and subsurface views of joints are limited, statistical techniques are required to characterize joints and joint sets. Finally, joints are subject to post-propagation stresses that further localize deformation and are the focus for the development of new structures.

Paying Attention to Mudrocks: Priceless!
Author: Daniel LarsenPublisher: Geological Society of America
ISBN: 0813725151
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
The case studies included in this volume span two overall thematic blocks: the first one focuses on mudstone deposition in several settings and the second focuses on the diagenetic processes that have affected important mudstone units. The two papers opening the volume describe recent lake sedimentation from South America and Africa, respectively.
Warm Climates in Earth History
Author: Brian T. HuberPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521641425
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
The geologic record contains evidence of greenhouse climates in the earth's past, and by studying these past conditions, we can gain greater understanding of the forcing mechanisms and feedbacks that influence today's climate. Leading experts in paleoclimatology combine in one integrated volume new and state-of-the-art paleontological, geological, and theoretical studies to assess intervals of global warmth. The book reviews what is known about the causes and consequences of globally warm climates, demonstrates current directions of research on warm climates, and outlines the central problems that remain unresolved. The chapters present new research on a number of different warm climate intervals from the early Paleozoic to the early Cenozoic. The book will be of great interest to researchers in paleoclimatology, and it will also be useful as a supplementary text on advanced undergraduate or graduate level courses in paleoclimatology and earth science.
