The original edition of this book, written by Gerald Lucy, was the first general account of Essex geology for a wide readership. In the years following that pioneer edition, the deep-time story of Essex has been further enriched – especially its ice age history – as we ourselves discovered following our retirement. Much of the ‘rock’ of Essex Rock is admittedly rather squashy and crunchy, but this does not deter geologists from defining it as ‘rock’. When we were both at university in the 1970s, Essex geology was dismissed as ‘gardening’. Like Rev. Eley, vicar of Broomfield, who in 1859 wrote Geology in the Garden, we looked more closely at the pebbles all around us. There is a story in every single one; we wanted to learn more and to share these stories. <...>
To produce materials from mine to market it is necessary to overcome obstacles that include the force of gravity, the strength of molecular bonds, and technological inefficiencies. These challenges are met by the application of energy to accomplish the work that includes the direct use of electricity, fossil fuel, and manual labor. The tables and analyses presented in this study contain estimates of electricity consumption for the mining and processing of ores, concentrates, intermediate products, and industrial and refined metallic commodities on a kilowatt-hour (kWh) per unit basis, primarily the metric ton (ton) or troy ounce. Data contained in tables pertaining to specific currently operating facilities are static, as the amount of electricity consumed to process or produce a unit of material changes over time for a great number of reasons. Estimates were developed from diverse sources that included feasibility studies, company-produced annual and sustainability reports, conference proceedings, discussions with government and industry experts, journal articles, reference texts, and studies by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Suggestions for additions and corrections are welcome by the author. <...>
So much work has been done in recent years using geostatistics to solve practical problems that we no longer have to apologise for nor justify the method. The method is as good as the practitioner, which goes, after all, for any technical application. There have been enough case studies now to show that almost any orebody, simple or complex in structure, which has a definable spatial continuity, will be amenable to geostatistical evaluation given that it is suitably sampled.
Con la aparición de] Tomo VII de fas /leías de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias empezamos una nueva serie de esta publicación, interrumpida durante varios años por razones age ñas a la voluntad del Instituto y debido principalmente a los reducidos recursos de su presupuesto, que no permitía la confección de obras ilustradas y de mayor extensión.
L’auteur décrit différents stades de l’altération latéritique de roches variées, dans des conditions géomorphologiques et climatiques différentes. En particulier, il étudie le processus de formation des gîtes de Fongo-Tongo et de Bangam, ainsi que leur évolution, puis leur démantèlement en relation avec des pulsations orogéniques liées au dynamisme de la « ligne du Cameroun».
Dans un ouvrage publié en 1 922 sur le « Toarcien et l'Aalénien dans le bassin d'Esch » le regretté N. LAUX a comparé la région qu'il étudiait avec celle de Gundershoffen (Alsace), connue surtout par l'ouvrage de LEPSIUS << Beitriige zur Kenntnis der Juraformation im Unter-Elsass >>. Après avoir relevé certaines analogies dans la succession des niveaux, l'auteur ajoute : << Il n'y a que sur le compte des Ammonites en Alsace que l'insécurité reste entière. En 1 875, lorsque l'étude de LEPsrus a paru, les espèces n 'étaient pas encore suffisamment différenciées. Sous ce rapport du moins la ravine de Gundershoffen mériterait d'être remise à l'étude».<...>
Après les savantes études de De Rouville sur cette région, il nous aurait paru téméraire de tenter une révision aussi délicate, si de nombreux faits nouveaux et les découvertes récentes de l’un de nous n’étaient venus éclairer bien des points douteux, en modifier plusieurs qui nous avaient paru mal interprétés, et enfin en révéler d’autres, qui avaient complètement échappé à nos prédécesseurs. <...>
