Sandstones are of two types: south- to southwest-trending, linear to slightly sinuous bodies characterized by coarse-grained sand with scattered quartz pebbles; and fine- to medium-grained sandstones that generally trend westward as bifurcating, lobate bodies.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thougtit that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 31 (thesis year 1986) a total of 11 ,480 theses titles trom 24 Canadian and 182 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base tor these titles reported will greatly enhance the value ot this important annual reterence work. While Volume 31 reports theses submitted in 1986, on occasion, certain univer sities do re port theses submitted in previousyears but not reported at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IAS Special Publication 35, Fluvial Sedimentology VII, comprises ofa series of peer-reviewed papers that were initially presented atthe 7th International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology, held inLincoln, Nebraska on August 6-10, 2001. The 29 papers in this volume reflect the topical and geographicdiversity of exciting research conducted by fluvialsedimentologists at the beginning of the 21st century. Themesrepresented in this volume include (a) flow, sediment transport,and bedform dynamics, (b) characteristics of modern fluviallandforms, environments and systems, (c) physical analogue andnumerical modeling of fluvial systems, (d) the responses ofQuaternary fluvial systems to climate change, active tectonics,and/or sea-level change, and (e) characteristics of pre-Quaternaryfluvial deposits and evolution of pre-Quaternary fluvial systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there have been rapid strides in our understanding of plate-tectonic processes, many developments in methods of basin analysis, and the accumulation of much new surface and subsurface geological and geophysical data. Projects such as COCORP (in the United States) and Lithoprobe (in Canada) have provided essential insights into the deep crustal structure of the continent. Synthesis of all the available information about North America’s geological regions has not been attempted systematically since the “Decade of North American Geology project undertaken by the Geological Society of America and the Geological Survey of Canada nearly twenty years ago. The book commences with a summary of the Phanerozoic geological history of the United States and Canada, illustrated with a suite of new paleogeographic maps, and tying in each of the subsequent regional chapters by the inclusion of numerous cross-references. This followed by a set of fifteen regional syntheses of the principal tectonic regions of the United States and Canada, focusing on the stratigraphic and tectonic history of the major sedimentary basins. Most of these chapters have been contributed by specialists, drawing on their own research, and providing interpretive summaries of a type not previously attempted.

This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Petrology and Sedimentation of the Pennsylvanian Sediments in Southern Illinois: A Vertical Profile An integrated study of outcrop and subsurface stratigraphy, sedimentary structures petrography, and clay minerals was made of the Pennsylvanian sediments along a portion Of the Eastern Interior coal basin border in southern Illinois. The data Obtained were used to reconstruct Pennsylvanian provenance and depositional environments. Data re lating to provenance were Obtained primarily from the petrology and directional sedi mentary structures Of the sandstones. Studies of local and regional patterns Of lithologic variation, kinds Of sedimentary structures, and fossil content were the basis for environ mental reconstruction. This information indicates that the Pennsylvanian sediments in southern Illinois accumulated on a coupled coastal plain and shallow marginal marine shelf, both sloping to the southwest. Both coastal plain and shelf became progressively more negative and probably more gently dipping during Pennsylvanian time. Cross-bedding indicates that throughout the history Of this coastal-plain - marginal-shelf, sediments were transported toward the southwest. Initially, the sediments in transport to and across this physio graphic couple were derived from pre-existing sediments, but, as erosion progressively unroofed metam'orphic and or igneous rocks, immature clastics reached the basin. Although] the rate Of basin subsidence was the controlling factor for contrasts in lithologic proportions and clay content of sandstones, it had only a negligible effect on Clay mineral composition and produced no major change in sand transport mechanism.
