This book has been compiled and written by members of the Commission on Geomorphological Survey and Mapping of the International Geographical Union. Originally proposed in 1976 as a text to accompany and explain the lnternationtll Geomorphological Map of Europe (1: 2.5 million), the oudine of the book was prepared by the Commission at a meeting in Nove Mesto, Czechoslovakia, in 1977. Since then, there has been a considerable delay in publishing the International Map; meanwhile, work on this book progressed and has overtaken the schedule for printing the Map. At the same time, the book has been enlarged and its aims have changed to some extent: it is no longer envisaged simply as an explanation of the Map but as a work in its own right, providing the first comprehensive survey of the geomorphology of Europe <...>

Изложены общие вопросы формирования подземных вод субконтинента. Дана характеристика гидродинамической зональности гидрогеологических структур, их геотермических условий, а также газовой обстановки образования химического состава подземных вод. Описаны минеральные и термальные подземные воды. Охарактеризованы ресурсы подземных вод, их режим. Рассмотрено использование подземных вод в различных отраслях народного хозяйства, а также охрана их от загрязнения и истощения.
Для гидрогеологов и специалистов смежных с геологией наук.

Дана характеристика физико-географических и геологических факторов формирования подземных вод. Рассмотрены вопросы геолого-тектонического и гидрогеологического районирования субконтинента. Выделены гидрогеологические регионы различных складчатых комплексов: докаледоиских и каледонских, ва-рисских и альпийских. Особое внимание обращается на гидрогеологический регион срединно-атлантического рифтогенеза. Приведены сведения о подземных водах гидрогеологических регионов, областей, районов, массивов, складчатых систем и артезианских бассейнов, в том числе субмаринных.
Для научных работников — гидрогеологов и специалистов смежных с геологией наук.

Humans need salt to live. A person eating a diet rich in red meat typically gets all the salt he needs from food, but a person eating only vegetables and grains does not. When people began settling into agricultural communities, they needed salt for themselves and their livestock. Furthermore, vast quantities of salt were needed to preserve food, especially fish.

The 1 : 5 000 000 International Geological Map of Europe and Adjacent Areas (IGME 5000) is a truly multidisciplinary project. It crosses three domains: geology, Information Technology and cartography. Within geology it embraces many sub-disciplines: stratigraphy, petrography, European regional and historical geology and marine geology.

A. Allgemeiner Teil Einführung in die Forschungsrichtung der Sedimentologie und Vorstellung des Studienobjektes
Nachstehende allgemeinverständliche Einleitung für einen breiten Leserkreis gibt einen Überblick über die Stellung der Sedimentologie in der Geologie und die Arbeitsrichtungen dieses Wissenschaftszweiges, stellt den Buntsandstein als Beispielsobjekt sedimentologischer Forschung vor und definiert die Zielsetzung des Buches.

This report summarizes the geology and nonfuel mineral resources of Greenland, Europe, Russia, and Northern Central Asia and is a preliminary part of a major U.S. Geological Survey study called the Global Mineral Resource Assessment Project. This report is one of a series of regional reports covering the world and provides basic data on the identified resources and geologic setting, together with a brief appraisal of the potential for undiscovered mineral resources. The data in the regional report are derived from published information. An important source of data on production statistics, economic factors that affect the mineral industries, and historical information, is available in U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) publications Minerals Yearbook and the annual Mineral Commodity Summaries (available at http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals).

The book presents proceedings of the International Conference INQUA-SEQS 2017 held in Tautavel, France. Reports concern a wide spectrum of issues connected to the study of the Quaternary Epoch (2.6 Ma) in Europe and Asia. Based on the results of local and regional Quaternary studies the authors focus on Quaternary stratigraphy and correlations across the Europe and discuss the integration of panEuropean and pan-Eurasian stratigraphical frameworks. The special attention is given to palaeontological, palaeoclimatological and palaeoenvironmental issues from the Quaternary of Europe and Asia.

Significant problems are being encountered by stratigraphers as they attempt to apply Exxonian sequence analysis to the depositional record. The most serious problem is one of consistent and objective boundary recognition. The unconformable portion of the boundary usually can be recognized with reasonable objectivity but a major problem occurs when the boundary is a "correlative conformity". The Exxon model defines such a surface as the depositional surface which existed at the time of the end of base level (relative sea level) fall. In many cases this theoretical surface has no apparent lithologic expression and cannot be recognized objectively. Thus correlation of a depositional sequence throughout a basin is either impossible or is an extremely subjective exercise.
