Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for Field Geologists Members of the U. S. Geological Survey have for some time felt the need of a convenient and concise description of geologic field methods. An attempt to meet this need was made by the publication, in 1908, of a Handbook for Field Geologists in the United States Geological Survey. This work was intended for distribution only to members of the Survey, and only a small edition was issued. The requests for copies of the Handbook, which have come in from members of State Surveys, teachers, mining geologists, and others, indicate a genuine need for something of the kind among geologists generally. The present work is written in response to this evident demand. The Survey Handbook has been used in the preparation of this work, omitting those instructions which apply only to members of the Government Survey, and enlarging upon certain features which will be of service to students preparing for work in field geology. In geologic field work, as in most other things, there are certain methods of procedure which have been found by experience better than others, and poor or wrong methods result in loss of efficiency. While many of the suggestions given may appear entirely too elementary, and to cover points on which instructions are unnecessary, it is my experience that mistakes in these simple matters are by no means confined to beginners. Field geologists, and particularly students using this book, are cautioned against its abuse. Directions for making and recording observations and for the use of the schedules are intended to insure thoroughness and system, not to relieve the observer of the necessity for thought. It would be a misfortune if they should hamper originality or reduce the work to a merely mechanical process.

Book excerpt: Describes the methods, procedures, and specialized equipment of field work in geology and includes a guide to making maps of specific areas. A guide to advances in the increasingly broad and interpretive discipline of formation mapping theory. Thorough, yet compact enough for use in the field, it consists of brief descriptions of textures and structures useful in interpreting depositional environments, kinds of volcanic activity, and plutonic events and conditions. Included are procedures often reserved for the laboratory or office: staining rocks, correcting orientations of current indicators, constructing profile sections of folds, measuring strains, making photogeologic interpretations, and more. Covers pre-field considerations, methods of observation and measurement, recognition of key geologic features, and preparation of a report. Illustrated with composite drawings

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Geology The first twelve chapters are concerned with the recognition and interpretation of geologic structures and topographic forms as they are observed. Here the aim has been to describe to gether phenomena which in certain respects resemble one another, but which may be of diverse origins. Where possible the treat ment has been empirical rather than genetic. In order to assist the reader in identifying various forms and structures, a number of tables or keys have been prepared. From the very nature of geology they can not be final or complete. They are presented with the hope that they may be of some value at least in showing what features to observe in the field. In the last six chapters are described methods of geologic surveying, the nature and construction of maps, sections, and block diagrams, the interpretation of topographic and geologic maps, the solution of certain geologic computations, and the preparation of geologic reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Field Geology Geological maps are just as necessary as ordinary maps of mine workings, and are not much harder to make When one knows how to go about it. It is the lack of this knowledge Which is a serious handicap to many mining men Who are naturally keen and intelligent observers, but Who fail to record and corre late their observations. They often carry an immense amount of geological data in their minds and make use of it When looking over their mine maps; but such mental pictures lack the graphic quality found only in good geologic maps and sections, Which usually meet With instant approval on the part of practical men. Geological literature usually deals With results rather than with the methods of obtaining them, and the terms employed are often of a highly technical nature, so that the text is more or less unintelligible to one Who has not had training in the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Indiana Geology The Handbook of Indiana Geology is, in a large measure, the result of a co-operative plan which had its inception shortly after the establishment of the Department of Conservation of Indiana. The plan constitutes an agree ment whereby the instructional staff of the Department of Geology. Of Indiana University conducts the field and laboratory investigations for the Department of Conservation, thus obviating the necessity for large salary expenditures. In this manner our slender geological funds may be used to defray other expenses incurred in the investigation of the mineral resources of Indiana. This plan of co-operation under which not even the State Geologist's salary is paid by the Division, provides the Department of Conservation a corps of trained workers in all the various phases of geological work. Phases having a cultural, educational, economic and scientific bearing. Evidence of the success of the co-operative plan is to be found in the present volume. There is a Latin proverb to the effect that nothing worth while is aecom plished without great effort. It is well exemplified in this treatise. Some of the preliminary investigations necessary for the results embodied in this volume have been carried on by the collaborators for more than a score of years. During the past two years their efforts have been concentrated toward the completion of the work. Each spare moment has been employed without expectation of monetary reward. Thus we have here garnered the fruits of years of labor at an expense to the State of what amounts virtually to the cost of printing the volume. Sales from two of the chapters which were printed in advance will assist materially in defraying the expenses of printing the complete work.

Download or read book GUIDE TO FIELD GEOLOGY written by S. M. MATHUR and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geology is a field science. Without sustained fieldwork, no theoretical aspect of geology can be taught and no geological and mineral exploration or research can be carried out. In short, without field studies there would be no science of geology. Practical field training of students is therefore an essential requirement of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in geology. Students have to learn to make independent geological observations and measurements on the ground. Education in fieldwork, like any other course, also requires good course materials. This book is an attempt to provide a suitable text on field geology suited to Indian conditions. Written by an eminent field geologist, the book covers all aspects of field geology-right from preparation for the trip and correct handling of instruments and other equipment, to mapping and observation of various geological features and collection of materials for further study in the laboratory. Interspersed throughout the text are practical hints for the successful conduct of the assigned work in different terrains. This guide should be carried to the field for regular consultation. The text with its straightforward presentation reflecting the experience of a half-century of the author as a field geologist should prove to be a boon to the students of geology.
