За период, предшествовавший первой пятилетке, а особенно за время первой и начало второй пятилеток, Кузнецкий каменноугольный бассейн накопил огромный опыт по эксплоатации и строительству. Но пройденный им этап—только начало: многое еще не осуществлено, многое еще в производственно-техническом отношении недостаточно ясно, большие задачи еще стоят впереди. <...>

Месторождение Ушкатын-III находится в Центральном Казахстане, в 300 км к западу от г. Караганда. Месторождение локализовано в борту эпиконтинентального палеорифта, сформированного во временно интервале верхний девон — нижний карбон. Продуктивными являются карбонатные отложения верхнего девона, вмещающие стратиформные залежи гидротермальных барит-свинцовых и гидротермально-осадочных железных и марганцевых руд.

ALTHOUGH the physical geography, mineralogy and natural history of the distant and mountainous parts of Russia have been well illustrated, from the days of Pallas and Hermann to those of Humboldt and Rose, the true geological structure of the country, particularly of her great flat regions, has never yet been adequately developed. We need not now enumerate all those persons who have recently offered contributions towards this object;

Dans la préface de notre premier volume nous avons fait, pour ainsi dire, l’histoire du livre que nous présentons au public; nous avons dit quelles circonstances nous avaient réunis dans une pensée commune, quels liens d’amitié s’étaient formés entre nous, et comment la haute protection de Sa Majesté Impériale et celle du ministre éclairé qui présidait alors au département des finances et des mines, nous avaient encouragés et secondés dans l’exécution d’un projet, qui nous paraissait d’abord au dessus de nos forces.

The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with guidance on the development and implementation of cost- effective and defensible environmental sampling programs that are designed to collect data needed to:

• Define the nature and extent of contamination

• Calculate baseline human health and ecological risk

• Identify contaminant migration pathways

• Predict rates of contaminant migration

• Evaluate the viability of potential remedial alternatives

• Support treatability testing

• Assess the effectiveness of a remedial alternative during implementation

• Determine if remedial action objectives have been met

• Dispose of waste material properly <...>

We began considering development of this book in 2010 while we were preparing a guidebook for a karst geology field trip. Our discussions resulted in realization that there are few, if any, karst areas in the world where so much research and investigation existed, especially when one considers that Florida’s near-surface carbonate rocks are eogenetic. That is, they have never been deeply buried or subjected to heat and pressure or had sufficient time to substantially alter their original textures and mineral contents.

Soil–structure interaction is a topic of significant importance in the solution of problems in geotechnical engineering. Conventional and ad hoc techniques are usually not sufficient to understand the mechanism and model the challenging behavior at the interfaces and joints prevalent in most structural and foundation systems. In addition to mechanical loading, the behavior of structures containing interfaces can be affected by environmental factors such as fluids, temperature, and chemicals.

The use of shallow geothermal energy has increased enormously over the past ten years. As the number of geothermal energy installations has risen, so has the number of technical developments in the field. There have been cases of damage in connection with the construction and operation of geothermal energy systems which have attracted much attention in the media. In particular, the cases of damage that have become public show that drilling to depths of several hundred metres is a technical activity that calls for responsible procedures in the sense of quality-assured design, construction and operation of the systems. Avoiding damage caused by shallow geothermal energy installations is a top priority for sustainable geothermal energy uses, especially when bodies of groundwater have to be protected against adverse effects.
