Ophiolite, Greek for 'the snake stone', appears to have received its first written definition by Brongniart (1813) as a serpentine matrix containing various minerals. Later in 1821 and 1827, Brongniart determined that volcanic and gabbroic rocks were also present, associated with cherts, and he ascribed an igneous origin to the ophiolite. Amstutz (1980) gives an excellent exegesis of these early contributions and traces the further use of the term and concept of ophiolite. This concept had been forged in the western Alps and Apennines where, thanks to talented Italian geologists, in particular A. Sismonda, B. Gastaldi, V. Novarese and S. Franchi, the study on metamorphic ophiolites (the 'pietre verdi') has rapidly progressed. <...>

In the field of rock grouting constant advances are being made in the development of equipment, methods and materials. One major improvement is the implementation of measures relating to health, safety and the environment (HSE) in grouting operations in tunnels and rock caverns.

This publication presents common, standard rock grouting practice in Norway today. The book provides guidelines for the practical execution of grouting in rock caverns, focusing primarily on equipment, materials and operations at the working face. There are brief descriptions of each of the operations involved in rock grouting.

12 февраля 1947 г. в западных отрогах Сихотэ-Алиня упал огромный метеорит. Раздробившись во время движения в атмосфере на многочисленные осколки, он рассеялся железным дождем.

This book is different from most books written about geostatistics. The focus here is not on providing an analytical and deductive understanding. It does not attempt to explain the inner workings of its algorithms or exactly how a variogram is calculated and modeled, nor does it provide an exhaustive list of geostatistical algorithms for seismic-data integration.

Die Anregung zu den vorliegenden Untersuchungen erhielt ich im Jahre 1925, als ich auf einer Exkursion zum Studium des englischen Jura die Aufschlüsse bei Peterborough kennen lernte, die mir die Möglichkeit zu bieten schienen, die phylogenetische Entwicklung der Ammoniten auf Grund eines sehr reichen, selbstgesammelten Materiales genauer als bislang zu studieren.

One excellent reason is that it’s tried and true. Physical Geology: Earth Revealed is a classic in introductory geology classes that has evolved into a market-leading text read by thousands of students. Proportionately, geology instructors have relied on this text for over 5,000 courses to explain,  illustrate, and exemplify basic geologic concepts to both majors and nonmajors. Today, the 9th edition continues to provide contemporary perspectives that reflect current research, recent natural disasters, unmatched illustrations, and unparalleled learning aids. We have worked closely with  contributors, reviewers, and our editors to publish the most accurate and current text possible.  <...>

Центральный Комитет Коммунистической партии Советского Союза в своем постановлении, принятом на историческом пленуме -в июне 1959 года, отметил, что комплексная механизация и автоматизация производственных процессов является основным средством технического прогресса, без которого невозможны высокие темпы дальнейшего роста производительности труда.

La distribution apparemment aléatoire des gisements fossilifères oxfordiens, l'homogénéité des faciès et la difficulté pour déterminer les ammonites m'ont conduit à parcourir plusieurs centaines de kilomètres à travers champs afin d'essayer de comprendre la logique de ces dépôts. <...>

A quantitative introduction to the Solar System and planetary systems science for advanced undergraduate students, this engaging new textbook explains the wide variety of physical, chemical and geological processes that govern the motions and properties of planets.
