Добрый день, Коллеги. Важное сообщение, просьба принять участие. Музей Ферсмана ищет помощь для реставрационных работ в помещении. Подробности по ссылке
Because scientific inquires and discoveries are and have always been affected by history, a retrospective view of the historical development of the earth sciences seems a good place to begin our discussion of the planet Earth. While this historical survey is necessarily brief—this is, after all, a Little Book—it will establish the foundations of modern earth science and introduce important thinkers and scholarly developments. <...>
Why do earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and landslides happen? What causes mountains to rise? How do beautiful landscapes develop? How have climate and life changed through time? When did the Earth form, and by what process? Where do we dig to find valuable metals, and where do we drill to find oil? Does sea level change? Do continents move? The study of geology addresses these important questions and many more. But from the birth of the discipline, in the late 18th century, until the mid-20th century, geologists considered each question largely in isolation, without pondering its relation to the others.
Ever since the dawn of development of science – the curiosity of men knew no bounds to know everything about the planet on which they live. They were naturally surprised to find the volcanoes in eruption, the earth in tremors or the emergence of hot water through some springs. Many of the more cautious observers were definitely astonished to find remains of marine organisms on tops of precipitous cliffs of lofty mountain ranges <...>
В сборнике материалов Всероссийского симпозиума с международным участием «П.С. Паллас и его вклад в познание России» вошли доклады, посвященные жизни и научной деятельности великого российского ученого-энциклопедиста П.С. Палласа, внесшего огромный вклад в изучение природы и общества Российского государства во второй половине XV11I века. В публикуемых материалах рассмотрена многогранная деятельность ученого на поприще естественных и социальных наук и сделан сравнительный анализ состояния геосистем за 240 лет с момента описания их П.С. Палласом. Выявлены новые факты в жизни и деятельности ученого, произведена библиография его творчества и опубликованных материалов о нём.
Издание может быть полезно ботаникам, зоологам, геологам, географам, экологам, историкам, лингвистам, краеведам, а также педагогам, аспирантам, студентам этих специальностей и всем любителям природы.
Популярный рассказ для старшеклассников о профессии геологов, о радости новых открытий, о драгоценных россыпях полезных ископаемых Сибири и Забайкалья.
В книге рассказано о роли в человеческой историк двух важнейших элементов -мироздания — железа и фтора, о роли и значении многих драгоценных камней, о тайнах наскальных рисунков древних людей, о камнях-талисманах, о сердоликовых перстнях Пушкина. Читатель вместе с ааторой, известным в Забайкалье ученым, посетит месторождения железа и фтора, драгоценных топазов и турмалинов в Забайкалье и Афганистане — двух интереснейших рудных провинций земного шара. Книгу с интересом прочтут взрослые и школьники, учителя и студенты, краеведы и туристы — все, кого зовет ветер странствий, кого волнуют айнах степей, шум тайги, радость открытий, новизна неизведанного.
The engineer’s job is to design and build structures that interact continuously with the soil and subsurface. The goal of this book is to give engineers an academic understanding of earth science and the basics needed to conduct engineering activity appropriate to the various environments that exist on our planet. The objective is to provide: • The knowledge and ability to analyze the geological processes that create, deform, and weather rocks; • An understanding of the principal types of rocks and unconsolidated materials and their properties; • An illustration of how geological conditions affect engineering activities, and how they can simplify or complicate these activities; • An appreciation of the richness of underground resources and an understanding of how to manage them, geared toward modern engineers seeking sustainable development in an interdisciplinary environment.
This laboratory manual is based on our collective 70-plus years of teaching and coordinating introductory geology courses. Those experiences have helped us understand not only how students best learn geologic principles, but also how to stimulate their engagement with the material to enhance their learning process. Our manual provides (1) an up-to-date, comprehensive background that addresses the hands-on tasks at the core of any introductory geology course; (2) patient stepby-step explanations that are more easily understood by students than those in textbooks; (3) text and exercises that lead students to think like geologists, engaging them in solving real-life problems important to their lives; and (4) the passion and excitement that we still feel after decades as teachers and geologists.
