Download or read book Interpreting Deposits written by A. J. Nijboer and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caeculus IV opens with a dedication to professor Marianne Kleibrink on the occasion of her 60th birthday, followed by a complete list of her publications. The Proceedings of the 4th Fransum Colloquium start with an article of Christopher Smith, entitled "Ritualising the Economy". He presents a theoretical base for a correlation between ritual and economy. Smith outlines some recent theories which incorporate economic activity into ritual context, actions into thought or, as one could say, matter into mind. Furthermore, he tries to relate this theoretical framework to the archaeological evidence from Latium Vetus, the region on which his own research focuses. The results from the recent Dutch excavations in Italy at Satricum seem to correspond fairly well with the discussed theories. His paper offers, therefor, a suitable foundation for the following contributions, most of which concentrate on central Italy. The second contribution by Tsjeard Hoekstra deals with the biography of bronze hoards from Italy. Albert Nijboer continues the debate with a discussion of the significant changes in hoarding in central Italy from 800 to 500 BC. The fourth paper by Demetrius Waarsenburg and Hendrieneke Maas deals with the bronzes deposited in the early sanctuary at Satricum in Lazio. Jelle Bouma discusses the same shrine as the previous authors but during the subsequent period, the 5th and 4t centuries BC. He presents a report of his excavation of the second votive deposit at the main shrine of Satricum. Peter Attema presents in his paper evidence of a recent survey in the area around Sezze, ancient Setia. The paper by Marjan Galestin discusses Roman coin hoards in the Netherlands. The last paper, not related to the central topic of this issue, is by Patricia Roncoroni who studies children's graves in Latium during the early Iron Age.
Download or read book Understanding Mineral Deposits written by Kula Misra and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mineral deposits have supplied useful or valuable material for human consumption long before they became objects of scientific curiosity or commercial exploitation. In fact, the earliest human interest in rocks was probably because of the easily accessible, useful (e. g. , red pigment in the form of earthy hematite) or valuable (e. g. , native gold and gemstones) materials they contained at places. In modem times, the study of mineral deposits has evolved into an applied science employing detailed field observations, sophisticated laboratory techniques for additional information, and computer modeling to build complex hypotheses. Understanding concepts that would someday help geologists to find new mineral deposits or exploit the known ones more efficiently have always been, and will continue to be, at the core of any course on mineral deposits, but it is a fascinating subject in its own right, even for students who do not intend to be professional economic geologists. I believe that a course on mineral deposits should be designed as a "capstone course" that illustrates a comprehensive application of concepts from many other disciplines in geology (mineralogy, stratigraphy and sedimentation, structure and tectonics, petrology, geochemistry, paleontology, geomorphology, etc. ). This book is intended as a text for such an introductory course in economic geology, primarily for senior undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities. It should also serve as a useful information resource for professional economic geologists.
Download or read book Time and Strata Bound Ore Deposits written by D.D. Klemm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of time-and strata-bound formation of ore deposits has during the past decade become one of the most debated topics in cur rent international discussion. Due to the amazing results of modern mineral exploration and world-wide geophysical research, the mutual relationship between the complex geological history pf a crustal seg ment and the development of distinct metallogenic provinces (ore belts) has received much interest. Reviewing the earth's history in this light one can now recognize metallogenic epochs even of global range which document the existence of world-wide time-bound ore enrich ments. The knowledge of these metallogenetic processes has been growing step by step for several decades. It began with simple observations and sceptic interpretations, which at first threw heretical spot lights on to the edifices of the prevailing theories on granitic differentiation as the favoured source of ore deposits. It was obvious that the new ideas at first referred to ore enrichments in sedimentary sequences, nowadays summarized under the term strata-bound, and mainly interpreted as stratiform or sedimentary ore deposits. Moreover, the modern term "strata-bound" also includes ore mineralizations which are bound to distinct units of layered (intrusive or extrusive) igneous complexes as a general descriptive term without genetical restriction! Albert Maucher is one of the representatives of the initial era who discussed these genetical questions critically in the decade before the 2nd World War.
Download or read book Flood and Megaflood Processes and Deposits written by I. Peter Martini and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this publication is the understanding of large floods and their impact on the Earth's surface. The major objectives are: 1) to take a second look at what constitutes a megaflood that the principle of uniformitarianism is at some loss to explain and 2) to try to determine what could happen in such large floods by analyzing those that occur in front of glaciers, in alluvial-fans and in alluvial valleys. The products of these floods are presented in terms of sedimentary deposits, erosional features and damage to human activities. The volume bears out the concept that sedimentological analysis can be a powerful tool, not only for reconstructing processes that have acted on ancient landscapes, but also as a technique for risk assessment of certain troubled areas. Therefore, this volume is of interest not only to sedimentologists/gemorphlogists, but also to engineers, landuse planners and anyone interested in the interrelation between humans and the environment.

Download or read book The Metallogeny of Lode Gold Deposits written by Ulrich Kretschmar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metallogeny of Lode Gold Deposits: A Syngenetic Perspective is a synthesis of lode gold vein forming processes, addressing the commonality in similar worldwide deposits. The book’s empirical model incorporates widely known and accepted principles of ore deposition and shows how it applies in the volcanic-sedimentary greenstone belt environment. Several chapters detail outcrop maps and photos of field occurrences and textures. The interpretations flow directly from the authors’ field work, and are coupled with analyses of underlying physical processes. Utilizing detailed geological mapping, field work, and chemical analyses as the basis of a syngenetic formation mode, the text arms readers with the tools necessary to accurately analyze and interpret new data on the subject. This includes information on decoding the significance of asymmetry in vein formation, as well as the role of lamprophyres in gold camps, how Archean geology requires integration into a lode vein formation model, and how to develop an understanding of the worldwide applicability of gold cycles to lode vein formation and exploration and how it can be applied to deposits of all ages. Presents the first book to galvanize lode gold research into a single authoritative reference Simplifies the complexity of lode gold’s underlying processes and presents valid concepts surrounding the lode gold forming environment Features color figures, illustrations, and photos that enrich the content’s focus and aid in the retention of key concepts
Download or read book Fluvial Meanders and Their Sedimentary Products in the Rock Record IAS SP 48 written by Massimiliano Ghinassi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sinuous form and peculiar evolution of meandering rivers has long captured the imagination of people. Today, meandering rivers exist in some of the most densely populated areas in the World, where they provide environmental and economic wealth and opportunities, as well as posing hazards. Through geological time, the ancestors of these modern meanders built deposits that are now host to mineral resources, groundwater, and hydrocarbons. This Special Publication illustrates the breadth of current research on meandering rivers and their deposits. The collection of research papers demonstrates the state of science on fluvial process–product relationships. The articles cover fundamental and applied studies of both modern and ancient rivers, are based on state-of-the-art technology, include complementary philosophical approaches, and span a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This book includes some of the most recent advances in the study of the morphodynamics and sedimentology of meandering rivers, and is an important resource for those who want to investigate fluvial systems and their deposits.

Download or read book Multiscale Modeling of Deep water Channel Deposits written by Lisa Elizabeth Stright and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sedimentological models capture the processes and subsequent deposits that explain the distribution of facies within a depositional system. The first sedimentological models for deep-water depositional systems were portrayed as idealized shelf break to slope submarine basin sediment dispersal systems. These models were developed from ancient outcrop exposures (Mutti and Lucchi, 1972) and from the modern day seafloor (Normark, 1970, 1978). More recent model development has been based largely on observations from modern slope channels including the Amazon Channel (Pirmez and Imran; 2003), offshore West African (Abreu et al., 2003; Deptuck et al., 2003), and attempts at generalization from multiple studies (Mayall et al., 2006), as well as ancient outcrop studies (e.g., Brushy Canyon; Gardner et al., 2003). Concepts from these sedimentological models have been the principle foundation for development of quantitative geostatistical models. A geostatistical model adapts the conceptualization of facies distribution from the sedimentological model. This information is then coded into a three-dimensional, gridded computer model directly constrained to available data (i.e., wireline logs, core data, and seismic attributes). Geostatistical models developed for deep-water depositional systems have primarily focused on either sinuous channels confined by levees or erosional surfaces (e.g., Larue and Hovadik, 2006; Labourdette et al., 2007; Pyrcz et al., 2008; McHargue et al., 2010; Sylvester et al., 2010) or basin-floor or overbank lobes associated with loss of confinement from sinuous channels (Pyrcz et al., 2005; Wellner et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2009). Although widely used, such geostatistical models have limited applicability in fitting all deep-water depositional systems, and cases exists that require modification of such models or creation of entirely new models. In this dissertation I show the importance of synthesizing sedimentological and geostatistical models based on observations from the data. The primary objectives of this dissertation are 1) to present methodologies to enable the creation of better sedimentological models from remote sensing data, and 2) to present a means to model depositional architectures for a system that cannot currently be captured with standard geostatistical modeling approaches. The main contributions are threefold. The first contribution, presented in Chapter 1, is a methodology designed to extract subseismic, lithologic information from inverted pre-stack seismic reflectivities. Also, in Chapter 1, the predictive power of this methodology is demonstrated on a dataset from the subsurface of the Molasse Basin in Upper Austria. Beyond this dissertation, Bernhardt et al. (in review) adopted the methodology to support the development of a more predictive sedimentological model for the same dataset. The second contribution, presented in Chapter 2, is a new approach for building predictive quantitative spatial models for a deep-water channel belt, in which sand deposition is controlled by mass-transport-deposit-topography. This methodology leverages sedimentological interpretations derived from subseismic, lithologic information as presented in Chapter 1 and the sedimentological work of Bernhardt et al. (in review). The final contribution of this dissertation is presented in two outcrop studies. Chapters 3 and 4 utilize extensive data collected from deep-water channel outcrops to build digital outcrop models. The model from Chapter 3 is used to demonstrate the predictive power of pre-stack seismic-reflectivity data in interpreting the large-scale architecture of a heterolithic deep-water channel system exposed in the sea cliffs along Blacks Beach near La Jolla, California. Finally, the outcrop modeling study presented in Chapter 4 presents a methodology to capture structural and stratigraphic uncertainty in outcrop observations in order to analyze the three-dimensional channel morphology of the Cerro Toro deep-water channel belt exposed in Sierra del Toro outcrops in the Magallanes Basin of Chile. These four chapters are described in more detail below.
Download or read book Mass transport Deposits in Deepwater Settings written by R. Craig Shipp and published by SEPM Soc for Sed Geology. This book was released on 2011 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, submarine-mass failures or mass-transport deposits have been a focus of increasingly intense investigation by academic institutions particularly during the last decade, though they received much less attention by geoscientists in the energy industry. With recent interest in expanding petroleum exploration and production into deeper water-depths globally and more widespread availability of high-quality data sets, mass-transport deposits are now recognized as a major component of most deep-water settings. This recognition has lead to the realization that many aspects of these deposits are still unknown or poorly understood. This volume contains twenty-three papers that address a number of topics critical to further understanding mass-transport deposits. These topics include general overviews of these deposits, depositional settings on the seafloor and in the near-subsurface interval, geohazard concerns, descriptive outcrops, integrated outcrop and seismic data/seismic forward modeling, petroleum reservoirs, and case studies on several associated topics. This volume will appeal to a broad cross section of geoscientists and geotechnical engineers, who are interested in this rapidly expanding field. The selection of papers in this volume reflects a growing trend towards a more diverse blend of disciplines and topics, covered in the study of mass-transport deposits.
