  • Seismic Stratigraphy

    by R.E. Sheriff ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Every little wiggle has a meaning all its own. This is our underlying faith, that details of seismic waveshapes can tell us the details of the nature of the earth. But their voices are obscured by many irrelevancies. They speak in a high-noise environment, and we have been able to decipher only a small portion. However, things are looking up: better tech niques are lessening the irrelevancies, and ... Read more

  • Carbonate Depositional Systems: Assessing Dimensions and Controlling Parameters

    The Bahamas, Belize and the Persian/Arabian Gulf

    Edited by Hildegard Westphal, Bernhard Riegl, Gregor P. Eberli ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Carbonate sediments are of increasing relevance for archives of past environmental conditions and for economical reasons in areas of geothermal energy and hydrocarbon reservoirs. Complex interaction of physical and chemical parameters with biological parameters determines the architecture and composition of carbonate sedimentary bodies. This book closes some of the still existing gaps in our ... Read more

  • Climate Change - Environment and Civilization in the Middle East

    by Arie S. Issar, Mattanyah Zohar ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    We live in an early stage of an interglacial period, which began some fifteen thousand years ago - a warming trend which, with the extreme ups and downs, is . still gaining momentum. There is little doubt that, sometime in the foreseeable future, the global climate will inexorably become much warmer l and many regions, such as the Near East, will become much drier. We even accelerate this process ... Read more

  • Carbonate Platform Slopes — A Record of Changing Conditions

    The Pliocene of the Bahamas

    by Hildegard Westphal ...
    Series Book 75 - Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences
    Periplatform slope sediments from the Bahamas serve as an example for a small-scale sedimentologic record of environmental changes. Carbonate platforms react sensitively to sea-level fluctuations. Therefore, sediments deposited on the slope during lowstands differ in composition from highstand deposits. A second focus is the early diagenetic alteration and cementation of these sediments with their ... Read more

  • Dyke Swarms: Keys for Geodynamic Interpretation

    by Rajesh Srivastava ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Dykes occur in a wide variety of geological and tectonic settings and their detailed study through space and time is imperative for understanding several geological events. Dykes are believed to be an integral part of continental rifting and when they occur as spatially extensive swarms of adequate size, they can be of immense utility in continental reconstructions and also help to identify Large ...
