Download or read book Hawaiian Volcanoes written by Rebecca Carey and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawaiian Volcanoes, From Source to Surface is the outcome of an AGU Chapman Conference held on the Island of Hawai‘i in August 2012. As such, this monograph contains a diversity of research results that highlight the current understanding of how Hawaiian volcanoes work and point out fundamental questions requiring additional exploration. Volume highlights include: Studies that span a range of depths within Earth, from the deep mantle to the atmosphere Methods that cross the disciplines of geochemistry, geology, and geophysics to address issues of fundamental importance to Hawai‘i’s volcanoes Data for use in comparisons with other volcanoes, which can benefit from, and contribute to, a better understanding of Hawai‘i Discussions of the current issues that need to be addressed for a better understanding of Hawaiian volcanism Hawaiian Volcanoes, From Source to Surface will be a valuable resource not only for researchers studying basaltic volcanism and scientists generally interested in volcanoes, but also students beginning their careers in geosciences. This volume will also be of great interest to igneous petrologists, geochemists, and geophysicists.

  • Author : Ron Miksha

  • Pages : 330 pages

Download or read book The Mountain Mystery written by Ron Miksha and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, no one could explain mountains. Arguments about their origin were spirited, to say the least. Progressive scientists were ridiculed for their ideas. Most geologists thought the Earth was shrinking. Contracting like a hot ball of iron, shrinking and exposing ridges that became mountains. Others were quite sure the planet was expanding. Growth widened sea basins and raised mountains. There was yet another idea, the theory that the world's crust was broken into big plates that jostled around, drifting until they collided and jarred mountains into existence. That idea was invariably dismissed as pseudo-science. Or "utter damned rot" as one prominent scientist said. But the doubtful theory of plate tectonics prevailed. Mountains, earthquakes, ancient ice ages, even veins of gold and fields of oil are now seen as the offspring of moving tectonic plates. Just half a century ago, most geologists sternly rejected the idea of drifting continents. But a few intrepid champions of plate tectonics dared to differ. The Mountain Mystery tells their story.

Book Characteristics of Hawaiian Volcanoes

Download or read book Characteristics of Hawaiian Volcanoes written by Taeko Jane Takahashi and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2014 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characteristics of Hawaiian Volcanoes establishes a benchmark for the currrent understanding of volcanism in Hawaii, and the articles herein build upon the elegant and pioneering work of Dutton, Jagger, Steams, and many other USGS and academic scientists. Each chapter synthesizes the lessons learned about a specific aspect of volcanism in Hawaii, based largely o continuous observation of eruptive activity and on systematic research into volcanic and earthquake processes during HVO's first 100 years.

Book Exploring Geology on the Island of Oahu  A Field Guide to Important Geological Locations

Download or read book Exploring Geology on the Island of Oahu A Field Guide to Important Geological Locations written by Michael Knight and published by Knight Enterprises. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This field guide to important geological locations describes the geology and volcanic significant at 39 stops on Oahu. It included a short introduction on how Hawaiian hotspot shield volcanoes formed and emerged from the sea floor. This is followed by the most current understanding of how the island of Oahu formed during the past 5 million years. This guidebook is a travel companion for residents and visitors alike that can easily be carried while you drive and hike to the many locations to see first-hand some of the mysteries geologists have uncovered as you explore our magical island. You will explore the geology of Oahu visiting numerous world-class locations and see many volcanic landforms present at our most informative geological locations. Following the overview of the geology and descriptions of the volcanic rock types found on Oahu we provide a brief overview of the typical life and demise of a Hawaiian hotspot volcano (Chapter 3) and an overview of Oahu's three main shield volcanoes (Chapter 4). Chapters 5 through 8 include the 39 stops depicted by detailed satellite images, topographic maps, high-quality photographs, plots, and illustrative figures that describe what you are looking at as you drive, hike, boat, canoe, walk to these readily accessible locations at your leisure.

Book Geological Field Techniques

Download or read book Geological Field Techniques written by Angela L. Coe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GEOLOGICAL FIELD TECHNIQUES The understanding of Earth processes and environments over geological time is highly dependent upon both the experience that can only be gained through doing fieldwork, and the collection of reliable data and appropriate samples in the field. This textbook explains the main data gathering techniques used by geologists in the field and the reasons for these, with emphasis throughout on how to make effective field observations and record these in suitable formats. Equal weight is given to assembling field observations from igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock types. There are also substantial chapters on producing a field notebook, collecting structural information, recording fossil data and constructing geological maps. Geological Field Techniques is designed for students, amateur enthusiasts and professionals who have a background in geology and wish to collect field data on rocks and geological features. Teaching aspects of this textbook include: step-by-step guides to essential practical skills such as using a compass-clinometer, making a geological map and drawing a field sketch; tricks of the trade, checklists, flow charts and short worked examples; over 200 illustrations of a wide range of field notes, maps and geological features; appendices with the commonly used rock description and classification diagrams; a supporting website hosted by Wiley-Blackwell is available at www.wiley.com/go/coe/geology
