Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Badlands Dynamics in the Context of Global Change presents the newest ideas concerning badland formation and relates them to the larger context of global change. The book provides an overview of badland landforms and covers a variety of interdisciplinary topics, such as runoff generation, erosion processes and rates, the potential for modeling badland systems, and emerging technologies in research. It is an ideal resource for geomorphologists, physical geographers and soil scientists interested in this terrain and how it relates to land degradation in other environments. Provides a global understanding of the complex dynamics of badlands through geology, geomorphology and soil science Covers critical material properties for badlands development based on current knowledge and new data Includes vegetation dynamics in different badlands systems and their relationship with geomorphology dynamics

Download or read book Guide to the Geology of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park written by Duane Braun and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly-illustrated, full-color guide to the geology of Mount Desert Island, Maine, the home of Acadia National Park, makes the spectacular scenery and rich geological history accessible to outdoor explorers, geology enthusiasts, and armchair travelers alike. The Guide grounds readers in basic geologic concepts before chronicling the unique history of the area from 550 million years ago to the present. Including information-packed self-guided trips with stops at 31 points of interest, this book is lavishly illustrated with 100 full color photos, maps, and illustrations that enhance appreciation of this national treasure. Duane and Ruth Braun relate the fascinating story of the region’s formation, explaining how a slice of South America with Mount Desert Island bordering its southern side landed on the edge of North America to form Maine. Another piece of South America collided with this landing, causing Mount Desert Island to erupt violently in a ten mile wide volcanic caldera. The Island then underwent a long period of stream erosion culminating in a period of glacial erosion to form the present landscape. The exceptional scenery that resulted has attracted visitors from around the world. This book unlocks the many secrets of the formations, offering a deeper understanding of the land and its origins.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barrier islands represent a complex coastal system that includes a number of different sedimentary depositional environments; nearshore zone, beach, dunes, washover fans, marshes, tidal flats, estuaries, lagoons, and tidal inlets. The morphodynamics of these fragile coastal systems provide a further complication to this coastal type. Although barrier islands comprise only 15% of the world's coastline, they have received a far greater proportion of attention from the scientific and engineering community, and more recently, from coastal managers and environmentalists. Modern barrier islands are arguably the most expensive and most vulnerable of all coastal environments. Pressure from developers for residential, industrial, and recreational development has caused most of our barriers to become significantly impacted by human activity, especially over the past few decades. These pres sures have led to extensive preservation of natural barriers through efforts from all levels of government and also by private organizations. Governments have also formed coastal management programs that help to control any future de velopment with the intent being to keep human activity compatible with barrier island morphodynamics. In order to devise appropriate coastal zone management programs, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the morpho dynamics of barrier island systems. This volume provides comprehensive details on barrier island morphology, sediment distribution, and the process-response mechanisms that cause changes to both. These are the important aspects of barrier systems that can provide important input into the development and implementation of coastal management programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geology of the Fox Islands, Maine: A Contribution to the Study of Old Volcanics The following geological study of the Fox Islands is presented as a contribution to the solution of the problem of the identification and interpretation of ancient volcanic rocks. The writer owes his interest in this subject to the late Professor George H. Williams, whose enthusiasm in petrographical research was so inspiring to his students. The Fox Islands area was visited and studied in 1893 by Dr. W. S. Bayley of Colby University, and the writer wishes to acknowledge the kindness of Dr. Bayley in granting him the privilege of studying the rocks collected at that time, as well as the accompanying full suite of thin-sections. The area was studied and the different series mapped by the writer in the spring of 1895, and a subsequent visit was made in the spring of 1896. In the preparation of this paper, assistance has been received from Prof. Clark, Dr. Mathews, and Messrs. Gilbert and Willis of the Geological Department of this University, and Dr. Bayley of Colby University, to all of whom the writer desires to express his indebtedness. He also wishes to acknowledge the courtesy of Professors Remsen and Morse of the Chemical Department, under whose direction rock-analyses were kindly made by Messrs. E. W. Magruder and W. A. Jones.
