Download or read book Geoecology of Antarctic Ice Free Coastal Landscapes written by L. Beyer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in Antarctica in the past two decades has fundamentally changed our perceptions of the southern continent. This volume describes typical terrestrial environments of the maritime and continental Antarctic. Life and chemical processes are restricted to small ranges of ambient temperature, availability of water and nutrients. This is reflected not only in life processes, but also in those of weathering and pedogenesis. The volume focuses on interactions between plants, animals and soils. It includes aspects of climate change, soil development and biology, as well as above- and below-ground results of interdisciplinary research projects combining data from botany, zoology, microbiology, pedology, and soil ecology.
Download or read book The Ross Orogen of the Transantarctic Mountains written by Edmund Stump and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-03-31 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ross Orogen of the Transantarctic Mountains is the part of the orogenic system that formed at the Pacific continental margin of present-day Antarctica. According to a recent hypothesis, this continental margin was created by the rifting and subsequent drift of Laurentia from Gondwana. With an unparalleled breadth and depth of information, this book provides a detailed synthesis of the history of the Ross orogen. In doing so, it incorporates classical studies with discussions of the most recent and controversial research from the international community. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography and a historical chronology of all expeditions that have worked on the Ross orogen in the Transantarctic Mountains, from the first sightings by Ross in 1840 right up to the present day. This review of the Ross orogen of the Transantarctic Mountains will be valuable to all geologists interested in these episodes in the Earth's history, and to researchers of the geology of Antarctica.

Download or read book Antarctica written by Dieter K. Fütterer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-11 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixty articles arranged in eight thematic sections refer to most recent geological and geophysical results of Antarctic research. The Precambrian of the East Antarctic shield and its geological history is considered as well as sub-ice topography, geophysics and stratigraphy, sedimentology and geophysics of the surrounding Southern Ocean. Particular emphasis is given to the connection of the Antarctic and the surrounding continents when forming part of Gondwana.
Download or read book Annotated Bibliography of Quaternary Shorelines written by Horace Richards and published by Academy of Natural Sciences. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplement to the ¿Annotated Bibliography of Quaternary Shorelines¿ published by the Academy of Natural Sciences in 1965 (Special Pub. 6). The supplement covers the years 1965 through 1969 & contains over 1800 abstracts. A few pre-1965 abstracts are included, mainly of articles published in 1964 which reached the editors too late for inclusion in the 1965 volume. There are also some earlier abstracts, mainly from areas not thoroughly covered in the former volume. The great increase in the number of articles on Quaternary shorelines published between 1965 & 1969 reflects the expanding interest in this subject. Arranged by country.
Download or read book The Transantarctic Mountains written by Gunter Faure and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a summary of the geology of the Transantarctic Mountains for Earth scientists who may want to work there or who need an overview of the geologic history of this region. In addition, the properties of the East Antarctic ice sheet and of the meteorites that accumulate on its surface are treated in separate chapters. The presentation ends with the Cenozoic glaciation of the Transantarctic Mountains including the limnology and geochemical evolution of the saline lakes in the ice-free valleys. • The subject matter in this book is presented in chronological order starting about 750 million years ago and continuing to the present time. • The chapters can be read selectively because the introduction to each chapter identifies the context that gives relevance to the subject matter to be discussed. • The text is richly illustrated with 330 original line drawings as well as with 182 color maps and photographs. • The book contains indexes of both subject matter and of authors’ names that allow it to be used as an encyclopedia of the Transantarctic Mountains and of the East Antarctic ice sheet. • Most of the chapters are supplemented by Appendices containing data tables, additional explanations of certain phenomena (e.g., the formation and seasonal destruction of stratospheric ozone), and illustrative calculations (e.g., 38Cl dates of meteorites). • The authors have spent a combined total of fourteen field seasons between 1964 and 1995 doing geological research in the Transantarctic Mountains with logistical support by the US Antarctic Program. • Although Antarctica is remote and inaccessible, tens of thousands of scientists of many nationalities and their assistants have worked there and even larger numbers of investigators will work there in the future.
Download or read book The Geology of Antarctica written by Robert J. Tingey and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geological information from Antarctica has so far been published in expedition reports, conference proceedings, and science journals. This information is thus not readily accessible to Earth scientists who are interested, but not directly involved, in Antarctic research. The Geology ofAntarctica bridges this gap with each chapter presenting an authoritative review of a particular aspect of Antarctic geology. The text provides descriptions of all major rock units found in Antarctica, as well as reviews of Antarctic palaeontology, geophysics, petroleum prospects, and mineral resources. Special attention is drawn to the features of Antarctica that are significant from the wider perspectives of globalgeology.
