Geology has evolved greatly since I wrote the Manual of Field Geology in the 1950s. Advances in theory have transformed the formation mapping of that time into increasingly broader and more interpretive studies.
Geology of Australian and Papua New Guinean Mineral Deposits heralds a new era in the publication of The AusIMM Monograph Series. The new methodology involves a small Committee, including a Project Coordinator. It has proved most effective and economical.
The Monograph 22 Committee was established early in 1996, under the direction of Sandra Close, (Chairman of The AusIMM Publications Committee) with the Joint Editors, The AusIMM Publications Manager and the Project Coordinator. Overall parameters and criteria for papers were determined and a detailed Guide to Authors and Standard Operating Procedures were developed, to ensure a streamlined process. Over 300 companies were then invited to submit papers if their deposits met the criteria. The invitation was repeated in The AusIMM Bulletin and The Australian Geologist, to ensure that the volume’s coverage was comprehensive.
This is a book on the geology of hydrocarbon reservoirs in carbonate rocks. Although it is written for petroleum geologists, geophysicists, and engineers, it can be useful as a reference for hydrogeologists and environmental geologists because reservoirs and aquifers differ only in the fl uids they contain. Environmental geoscientists interested in contaminant transport or hazardous waste disposal also need to know about porosity (capacity to store) and permeability (capacity to fl ow) of subsurface formations.
This chapter describes the regional geographical and geological setting of Connemara. The geology and the spatial distribution of Connemara’s metamorphic and igneous rocks are outlined. The Connemara Metamorphic Complex (CMC) comprises two major rock groupings: the Dalradian metamorphosed sedimentary and igneous rocks and the younger Metagabbro Gneiss Suite. South of Clifden in western Connemara a semi-circular area some 5 km across occurs within the Metagabbro Gneiss Suite and is called the Delaney Dome.
The monograph Geology of Cuba addresses different facets of Cuba’s geological knowledge: cartography, marine geology, fossil record, stratigraphy, tectonics, classification of its ophiolites, quaternary deposits, metallogeny, and minerageny. The contributions are not linked by a common thread, being free versions according to the scientific positions of the authors; therefore, logically, there are contradictory opinions in many cases. However, it is a fabulous scientific work that puts in the hands of the most diverse readers all the wealth of geological knowledge of Cuba, essential for any type of application, exploration, teaching, research, or patrimonial. In itself, it constitutes a notable contribution to the advancement of knowledge of the Geology of Cuba.
Geology came to occupy the pride of place in the country following Independence and rapid industrialization based on Five Year Plans of the Nehru era. Geological Survey of India, the premier earth science organization in the country, was considerably expanded and decentralized to the various States of India. National Research Institutes like the NGRI, PRL, CESS, WIHG, BSIP etc. were encouraged to develop rapidly, and the Universities urged to become centers of excellence.
A phenomenal growth has been achieved in our understanding of the Geology of India since India's Independence through the efforts of the Geological Survey of India and several other State Surveys, exploration agencies, research organizations, universities, institutes and scientific societies. Many of our earlier concepts of geology in relation to structure and tectonics, stratigraphy and sedimentation, magmatism and metamorphism, and metallogeny and mineral deposits have undergone drastic changes with larger inflow of data, synchronising with the evolving global concepts of earth processes.
The earlier, mostly non-geological, exploration reports of Borneo have been listed by Worth (1940). The first reliable geological observations on Sabah were by Hatton (1885), a young mineral explorer employed by the Chartered Company of North Borneo. He met a tragic death while hunting along the Segama River. The most significant publication was that of Posewitz (1892), who summarized the earlier writings of geologists who had journeyed through Borneo. Although, he never set foot in Sarawak or Sabah, but had journeyed through Kalimantan. He collected the literature and compiled a geological map of the known parts of Bomeo. The work was unsystematic and is now obsolete. Rutter (1922) described the journeys of some mineral prospectors in his account of Sabah, but he did not mention the real geological explorers. <...>
For several decades a team of specialists from the field of paleontology has been acting in the Geological Institute. The team has gathered rich material of fossil fauna and flora from drillings and outcrops in several parts of the country (Polish Lowlands, Silesian-Cracow Upland, the Gory Swietokrzyskie Mts and the Carpathians).
Analythical results of studies of the above team of the Geological Institute, especially those obtained in the course of paleontological and biostratigraphic expertises, have as far as possible been published, contributing to the Polish and world biostratigraphic literature. This made it necessary for the Geological Institute, the oldest and biggest centre of geological sciences in the country, to undertake works aimed at gathering museum collections and synthetize most important biostratigraphic information dispersed in various sources.
Works on monograph Atlas skamienialosci przewodnich i chardktery sty cznych, the third volume of Budowa Geologiczna Polski and the first position of that type compiled in our country, were initiated in 1971. The team of researchers of the Geological Institute and the invited specialists from other research centres in the country which took part in that project has been led by Doc. Dr. Lidia Ma-linowska (Head of Laboratory of Paleozoology of Department of Stratigraphy, Tectonics and Paleogeography, Geological Institute) as the General Editor. Thanks to the deep concern of the General Editor, section editors, authors and editorial teams of the Department of Publications, Maps and Text (Geological Institute) and the Publishing House Wydawnictwa Geologiczne, it became possible to publish first of Mesozoic parts of Polish version of the monograph as early as 1979.
Presenting Mesozoic part of the monograph to the foreign Reader, the Geological Institute dedicates this publication unique in Polish geological literature to our paleontologists such as J. B. Pusch-Korenski, J. Siemiradzki, L. Zej-szner, M. Raciborski and others who laid foundations for major achievements of Polish biostratigraphy
The map area, covering 2,250 km", lies in the central part of Spitsbergen, south of Isfjorden. Geological investigations were started by Swedish expeditions in the last half of the 19th century, and the work was continued in the present century mainly by Norwegian expeditions. The region is mountainous, moderately glaciated, but shows a juvenile glacial morphology. The climate is polar. The rock sequence exposed in the area is c. 3,400 m thick and consists of two Permian, six Mesozoic, and six Tertiary formations. The Permian deposits are mainly eherts , cherty limestones, limestones, and sandstones deposited under marine conditions. The Mesozoic-Tertiary sequence is composed generally of shales, siltstones, and sandstones deposited mainly in marine environments, and to a lesser extent under terrestrial conditions. Surficial deposits of Quaternary age are largely of glacial, colluvial, alluvial, and marine origin <...>
