In England, in the sphere of Jurassic geology, we are wardens of a classic area, for our cliffs and quarries are the standards of comparison for the whole world. A German authority, Dr. Hans Salfeld, remarked after a brief study in 1914: ‘Research on the faunas and their succession shows that the English Upper Jurassic can be taken as the type of that of North-West Europe, in the most complete development anywhere yet known.’ He had studied only the Upper Jurassic, but the same could with equal truth be said of the Lower.

В тринадцатом сборнике публикуются воспоминания п художественные произведения ветеранов геологической службы России.
Читатели вместе с авторами побывают на Урале, в Эвенкии, Сибири и узнают об истории поисков и открытий крупных месторождений полезных ископаемых.

This book is a peer-reviewed and edited volume that contains keynote lectures and extended abstracts of papers that were received for EUROCK 2014 – The 2014 ISRM European Symposium, which will be held in the city of Vigo SPAIN on 27–29 May, 2014.

Worldwide supplies of conventional natural gas are declining; new, unconventional forms of energy resources are required to meet the increase in demand. Among these unconventional resources are gas hydrates, which are solid, icelike forms of methane and water that form under lowtemperature and high-pressure regimes. Gas hydrates exist in abundance worldwide, and some estimates suggest that the total amount of natural gas found in gas hydrates may exceed all known conventional gas resources.

Subsurface geological features of interest in hydrocarbon exploration are three dimensional in nature. Examples include salt diapirs, overthrust and folded belts, major unconformities, reefs, and deltaic sands. A two-dimensional (2-D) seismic section is a cross-section of a three-dimensional (3-D) seismic response. Despite the fact that a 2-D section contains signal from all directions, including out-of-plane of the profile, 2-D migration normally assumes that all the signal comes from the plane of the profile itself.

Обсуждаются возможности комплекса ядерно-физических методов, основанных на базе достижений ядерной физики, электроники и вычислительной техники. Книга предназначена для геологов, аналитиков, специалистов в области экологии, а также для студентов учебных заведений соответствующего профиля.

Настоящий сборник материалов возник в связи с работами кашей экспедиции в пустыню Кара-Кумы. Знакомство с исключительными месторождениями серы в Центральной части Кара-Кумов выдвинуло необходимость серьезной проработки всей серной проблемы в целом. Поэтому в'настоящий выпуск материалов включен как отчет по самой экспедиции» так и результаты экспериментальной проработки собранного материала, а также общая статья о сере на мировом и союзном рынках.
