В сборнике приведены научно-биографические материалы о создателях и членах уникальной школы инженер-геологов России - школы Московского университета. Каждый очерк включает краткие биографические данные об исследователе, характеристику его роли в становлении кафедры, геологического факультета и МГУ, участие в экспедициях, результаты научной, педагогической и научно-организационной деятельности, сведения об общественном признании.
Для инженер-геологов, геокрпологов, специалистов смежных областей геологии, студентов и аспирантов геологических специальностей высших учебных заведений.

Эту книгу можно назвать аналитической летописью геологической службы и проблем минерально-сырьевой базы России времен кардинальных политических и экономических преобразований конца XX столетия.

Improved understanding of the Earth’s water cycle is a key element of global efforts to develop policies and practices for the sustainable management of water resources. Isotope and nuclear techniques have provided unmatched insights into the processes governing the water cycle and its variability under past and present climates. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) convened the first symposium on isotope hydrology in 1963. As isotope hydrology developed as an independent discipline, the IAEA symposia, convened every four years, provided a vehicle to review the state of the science and discuss future developments. Proceedings of these symposia contain classical papers that still form the basis of a number of applications in hydrology and inspire current research. <...>

Приведена детальная палеонтологическая характеристика то-маковских слоев Южной Украины. Обоснован их возраст, тип морского бассейна, пути миграции фауны. Проведена корреляция томаковских слоев с одновозрастными отложениями Восточного, Западного и Центрального Паратетиса и Тетиса. Выполнено монографическое описание томаковских моллюсков с использованием современной палеозоологической классификации.
Для геологов, стратиграфов, палеонтологов, географов, студентов геолого-географических специальностей.

The use of computers as primary tools for carrying out geological research and databases for storing geological information has grown considerably in recent years. In the same period there has been a dramatic increase in the degree of collaboration between scientific institutions, universities and industry, and between geologists working in different countries. To facilitate collaborative work amongst geologists and to maximise efficiency in the use of geological databases a common approach to classifying and naming rocks is essential. This publication presents a scheme for the classification and nomenclature of igneous rocks that is practical, logical, systematic, hierarchical and uses clearly defined, unambiguous rock names.

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.

Economic geology is a mixtum compositum of all geoscientific disciplines focused on one goal, finding new mineral depsosits and enhancing their exploitation. The keystones of this mixtum compositum are geology and mineralogy whose studies are centered around the emplacement of the ore body and the developmentof its minerals and rocks. In the present study, mineralogy and geology act as x- and y-coordinates of a classification chart of mineral resources called the “chessboard” (or “s preadsheet”) classification scheme. Magmatic and sedimentary lithologies together with tectonic structures (1-D/pipes, 2-D/veins) are plotted along the x-axis in the header of the spreadsheet diagram representing the columns in this chart diagram. 63 commodity groups, encompassing minerals and elements are plotted along the y-axis, forming the lines of the spreadsheet. These commodities are subjected to a tripartite subdivision into ore minerals, industrial minerals/rocks and gemstones/ornamental stones. <...>
