This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1990, Project 233 of the International Geological Correlation Program hosted an international conference in G6ttingen/Giessen, Germany. Discussions were focused on the Tectonothermal and Stratigraphic Evolution of the Central European Orogens. The meeting marked the first opportunity for completely open scientific exchange following the recent political reformations in central Europe. This exciting new atmosphere of international cooperation resulted in presentation of a wealth of information which was new to scientists from both sides of former political boundaries. It was apparent that a unique opportunity was available to prepare a systematic overview in a volume dealing with the geology of Central Europe. The present book represents an outgrowth of this conference, but is not merely a compilation of the papers presented in G6ttingen/Giessen. Instead, it represents a coordinated volume designed to present a balanced, comprehensive view of our present understanding of the tectonothermal and stratigraphic evolution of the Central European orogens. We gratefully acknowledge the help of the national funding agencies, who have financed much of the research work summarized in this book, and of the Interna tional Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP, project no. 233) which provided and helped to finance the organisational framework. We are indebted to Springer-Verlag for thorough copy-editing and production of this book, and we sincerely appreciate the efforts of all the reviewers whose com ments have greatly helped to improve the quality of this volume. We also thank the various contributors for their diligence and perseverance in manuscript preparation.

Book excerpt: The high pressures necessary for the stabilisation of eclogites in metabasic rocks andgarnetperidotitesinultrabasic rocks havebeen long recognised and experimentally established. Xenoliths of such rocks brought up in volatile charged alkaline magmas, such as kimberlites, are widely accepted to be mostly ofupper mantle derivation (Chapter 13). Eclogites are predicted to be thermodynamically stable also in the lower crust beneath cratonic regions. However, xenolith suite studies indicate that kinetic and/or compositional factors limit their distribution in the lower continental crust relative to granulite fades assemblages (Chapter 12). Occurrences ofeclogitesand gamet peridotites in exposed crustal metamor phic terrains have been interpreted in the past as exotic tectonic blocks of deeper (largely mantle) origin, because of their apparent difference in metamorphic grade compared with the encompassing rocks. Only in recent years have metamorphic petrologists begun to recognise that such crustal terrains sometimes preserve co-facial (eclogite fades), high pressure mineral parageneses in other spatially associated lithologies such as metapelites and metagranitoids. Placed in a modern, global geotectonic context, it is now apparent not only that eclogites can be expected to be stabilised in oceanic crust subducted at continental plate margins (Chapter 9), but also that eclogite fades mineral parageneses may be stabilised in a wider range ofcontinental crust lithologies, where substantial tectonic thickening has occurred in continental plate collision zones (Chapters 8-10). Recent exciting evidence from the Western Alps(Chapter 10)suggeststhat continental crust may be subducted to depths approaching 100km and iyet exhumed during subsequent orogenic uplift.
Download or read book Landscapes and Landforms of the Czech Republic written by Tomáš Pánek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims to present the unique geomorphological landscapes of the Czech Republic. The geomorphic uniqueness of this country benefits from the proximity to two distinct European geological domains: the old cratonized Bohemian Massif and the relatively young Tertiary fold and thrust belt of the Western Carpathians. Landscapes and Landforms of the Czech Republic introduces general physiographical characteristics of the landscape and presents the main driving factors leading to the evolution of the present landscape. The book contains twenty two chapters describing the most interesting geomorphic landscapes of the Czech Republic. The selection of individual landscapes was based on visual exceptionality (e.g. sandstone landscapes of the Northern Bohemia), scientific importance (e.g. patterned grounds in the Sudetic Mountains) and historical relevance (e.g. mining of the Nízký and Hrubý Jeseník Mountains). The final chapters of the book discuss the protection of geomorphic heritage in the Czech Republic.
Download or read book Thermodynamics of Minerals and Melts written by R.C. Newton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today large numbers of geoscientists apply thermodynamic theory to solu tions of a variety of problems in earth and planetary sciences. For most problems in chemistry, the application of thermodynamics is direct and rewarding. Geoscientists, however, deal with complex inorganic and organic substances. The complexities in the nature of mineralogical substances arise due to their involved crystal structure and multicomponental character. As a result, thermochemical solutions of many geological-planetological problems should be attempted only with a clear understanding of the crystal-chemical and thermochemical character of each mineral. The subject of physical geochemistry deals with the elucidation and application of physico-chemical principles to geosciences. Thermodynamics of mineral phases and crystalline solutions form an integral part of it. Developments in mineralogic thermody namics in recent years have been very encouraging, but do not easily reach many geoscientists interested mainly in applications. This series is to provide geoscientists and planetary scientists with current information on the develop ments in thermodynamics of mineral systems, and also provide the active researcher in this rapidly developing field with a forum through which he can popularize the important conclusions of his work. In the first several volumes, we plan to publish original contributions (with an abundant supply of back ground material for the uninitiated reader) and thoughtful reviews from a number of researchers on mineralogic thermodynamics, on the application of thermochemistry to planetary phase equilibria (including meteorites), and on kinetics of geochemical reactions.
