As its name implies, petrophysics is the study and measurement of the physical properties of rocks. As soon as you start to take an interest in this field, you are struck by the duality between the “Physics” aspects and the “Geology” aspects.

В первом разделе приведены размеры загрязненных земель к началу ХХI века по каждому административному субъекту Российской Федерации. Оценивались площади территорий, подверженных хроническому техногенному загрязнению в сфере влияния городских поселений и магистральных дорог. Загрязненные земли занимают 4% российской территории (683 тыс. кв. км). По Федеральным округам этот показатель находится в интервале от 0,7% (Дальневосточный округ) до 19,3% (Центральный округ).

В пособии определены большинство известных методов контроля качества и свойств основных строительных материалов, использующихся в современном строительстве - от простых, не требующих специального оснащения, до тех, которые требуют максимального использования стандартного оснащения. Методы изложены на основе изучения авторами специальной литературы и с учетом их личного многолетнего опыта

Extractive metallurgy is that branch of metallurgy that deals with ores as raw material and metals as finished products. It is an ancient art that has been transformed into a modem science as a result of developments in chemistry and chemical engineering. The present volume is a collective work of a number of authors in which metals, their history, properties, extraction technology, and most important inorganic compounds and toxicology are systematically described.

The science of rock physics addresses the relationships between geophysical observations and the underlying physical properties of rocks, such as composition, porosity, and pore fluid content. The Rock Physics Handbook distills a vast quantity of background theory and laboratory results into a series of concise, self-contained chapters, which can be quickly accessed by those seeking practical solutions to problems in geophysical data interpretation.

Handbook of Soil Sciences is the second edition of a comprehensive reference work on the discipline of soil science as practiced today. The new edition has been completely revised and rewritten to reflect the current state of knowledge. It contains definitive descriptions of each major area in the discipline, including its fundamental principles, appropriate methods to measure each property, many examples of the variations in properties in different soils throughout the world, and guidelines for the interpretation of the data for various applications (agricultural, engineering, and environmental).

Information on soil and land resources is a prerequisite for informed decisions on land use and management. Procedures for acquiring and using this information are introduced and  emphasis is given to a balanced approach with elements of mapping, modelling and monitoring within the broader context of environmental change. The conceptual basis for a range of approaches to survey is introduced along with an assessment of strengths and weaknesses. A framework for dealing with scale in measurement and prediction is then introduced.
