This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The alkaline igneous rocks and carbonatites are compositionally and mineralogically the most diverse of all igneous rocks and, apart from their scientific interest, are of major, and growing, economic importance. They are important repositories of certain metals and commodities, indeed the only significant sources of some of them, and include Nb, the rare earths, Cu, V, diamond, phosphate, vermiculite, bauxite, raw materials for the manufacture of ceramics, and potentially Th and U. The economic potential of these rocks is now widely appreciated, particularly since the commencement of the mining of the Palabora carbonatite for copper and a host of valuable by-products. Similarly, the crucial economic dominance of rare earth production from carbonatite-related occurrences in China, has stimulated the world-wide hunt for similar deposits. This volume describes and provides ready access to the literature for all known occurrences of alkaline igneous rocks and carbonatites of Antarctica, Asia and Europe excluding the former USSR, Australasia and oceanic islands. More than 1,200 occurrences from 59 countries are outlined together with those of 57 oceanic islands and island groups. The descriptions include geographical coordinates and information on general geology, rock types, petrography, mineralogy, age and economic aspects with the principal references cited. There are 429 geological and distribution maps and a locality index. As has been demonstrated by the three earlier volumes, the present book is likely to be of considerable interest to mineral exploration companies, as there are no comprehensive published reviews of the economic aspects of the alkaline rocks. It will also interest research scientists in the fields of igneous petrology and volcanology, and geologists concerned with the regional distribution of igneous rocks and their geodynamic relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of volcanic crisis research, the goal being to establish ways of successfully applying volcanology in practice and to identify areas that need to be addressed for future progress. It shows how volcano crises are managed in practice, and helps to establish best practices. Consequently the book brings together authors from all over the globe who work with volcanoes, ranging from observatory volcanologists, disaster practitioners and government officials to NGO-based and government practitioners to address three key aspects of volcanic crises. First, the book explores the unique nature of volcanic hazards, which makes them a particularly challenging threat to forecast and manage, due in part to their varying spatial and temporal characteristics. Second, it presents lessons learned on how to best manage volcanic events based on a number of crises that have shaped our understanding of volcanic hazards and crises management. Third, it discusses the diverse and wide-ranging aspects of communication involved in crises, which merge old practices and new technologies to accommodate an increasingly challenging and globalised world. The information and insights presented here are essential to tapping established knowledge, moving towards more robust volcanic crises management, and understanding how the volcanic world is perceived from a range of standpoints and contexts around the globe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research progress on seismic detection and discrimination using ocean-bottom seismographs (OBS's) is outlined. During this first year of DARPA contract work, our investigations have been focused primarily on using existing OBS data to address the problem of sea-floor seismic noise and to constrain models of the near-bottom seismic environment. We have completed noise studies at six of our previously occupied OBS sites. The noise levels of typical amplitude spectra roll off rapidly out to 2-4 Hz and much less rapidly beyond 4 Hz. At frequencies above 4 Hz, the noise levels are low, typically a few nanometers/Hz1/2 or less and comparable to good land-based stations. Several correlations between noise levels and other parameters, such as sediment thickness, distance from the continental margin and sea state, are discussed and used to constrain possible noise mechanisms. We hypothesize that the dominant mechanism of high-frequency (>2 Hz) noise generation at most of the sites examined thus far is of local oceanographic origin, exciting acoustic modes in the water column which couple to Stoneley modes at the sediment-water interface and waveguide modes within the sediment column. This hypothesis is supported by the analysis of noise data from two OBS arrays, which shows that the noise coherence is very low for pairs of sensors separated by as little as 200 m. We also outline some of the conclusions relevant to the seismic noise problem deduced by us from the data collected during the Lopez Island intercalibration experiment.
