Nedelec Anne: Earth and Life

Earth and Life

A History of Four Billion Years

This introductory undergraduate textbook provides a conceptual approach to Earth History and Historical Geology by focusing on key events to explain fundamental geological concepts. Its engaging narrative style and full-colour illustrations offer a broad overview of Earth history to those with little or no previous knowledge of the geology.

Stratigraphy is a complete review of each type of stratigraphy in a consistent and systematic manner, including definitions, concepts, practical applications, and case studies in every chapter. The book opens with an overview of stratigraphy along with the historical principles of the discipline. Each of the following chapters defines and explains a specific type of stratigraphy in depth. These types include lithostratigraphy (lithology), biostratigraphy (fossil content), chemostratigraphy (geochemical properties), magnetostratigraphy (magnetic polarity), chronostratigraphy (absolute age), cyclostratigraphy (relationship to astronomical forcing), allostratigraphy (lithological discontinuities), and sequence stratigraphy (stratal stacking patterns). Each chapter follows the same outline and includes the same elements, creating a convenient and accessible reference to quickly review and compare the different types of stratigraphy. This invaluable text provides a key reference for stratigraphic correlation in a wide range of applications.

Microanalysis of Atmospheric Particles Techniques and Applications Most of what is visible in the atmosphere-such as pollution, dust, haze, fog, and clouds-is due to micrometer- and nanometer-sized aerosol particles. It is important to understand the source, characteristics, and behavior of these small particles as they play a fundamental role in large-scale atmospheric processes. Microanalysis of Atmospheric Particles: Techniques and Applications presents different microscopic techniques for studying aerosols and explores a range of applications in climate studies and air quality studies. Volume highlights include: <ul><li>Overview of different techniques and applications</li> <li>In-depth descriptions of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, Raman microspectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy</li> <li>Techniques for studying physical characteristics and chemical composition</li> <li>Methods to examine particle transformation</li> <li>Examples including soot, organic aerosols, ice crystals, and sea spray</li> <li>Applications for global and regional climate change and urban air quality</li></ul> The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

"Justin Hocking grew up in a part of Colorado where so many things happened beneath the surface-mining exploits, underground nuclear testing just thirty miles from his family's home, and geothermal activity that heats one of the world's largest hot springs pools. His homelife, too, was plagued by an underground pattern of abuse and virulent masculinity. A Field Guide to the Subterranean charts the author's lifelong process of unearthing the past and reclaiming his own identity and connection to the natural world. How might we transform our traumas into deeper care for each other and the landscapes that sustain us? How do we transcend the mythos of the rugged American male so rooted in extraction and exploitation? And how far can we move beyond the self in a memoir? Hocking explores these and other vital questions by combining personal narrative with expansions into geology, ecology, gender theory, mining history, labor rights, and even skateboarding. Abundant with historical research and teeming with birdlife-and ranging in location from remote caves and mountains to secluded surf breaks in Costa Rica-A Field Guide to the Subterranean heralds a boldly original and kaleidoscopic approach to the genre of nature writing"--

Fossils and Earth Time: Evolution and Biostratigraphy provides a complete picture of micro- and macrofossils, shedding light on their evolution and biostratigraphy throughout the Phanerozoic Era. The book offers a detailed exploration of the diverse fossil groups that have shaped Earth's history and integrates paleontological insights, geological context, and biostratigraphic principles to elucidate the relationship between these fossil assemblages and the Earth's dynamic past. The book explores the significance of these fossils as valuable biostratigraphic tools, enabling precise dating and correlation of sedimentary rocks across different regions and continents. Fossils and Earth Time: Evolution and Biostratigraphy is an up-to-date and detailed resource for students, researchers and professionals working in geology, paleontology, or working on spatial and temporal distribution across Earth’s history.

This completely updated third edition of Biological Oceanography: An Introduction offers students a firm grounding in the fundamentals of biological oceanography, continuing the work of the first and second edition author team, Carol Lalli and Timothy Parsons. Additionally, it provides an enhanced learning experience with numerous illustrations, thorough chapter summaries, and questions with answers and comments at the back of the book. The updated material now focuses on communicating the importance of the ocean for Earth's habitability and as such, new chapters that present humanity's dependence on the ocean are included. This comprehensive textbook is an invaluable resource for second year and higher undergraduate students studying oceanography and marine science.

Quantitative Methods in Stratigraphy: A Multi-Proxy Palaeoenvironmental Analysis of Outcrop and Core Data explores the current advances in technology, offering a wide range of quantitative geophysical, geochemical, and spectral methods, which are less expensive, timesaving, and often non-destructive. The book first outlines the main principles and applications of stratigraphy and paleoenvironmental analysis. Chapters then work methodically through quantitative data in stratigraphy, gamma-ray methods, magnetic susceptibility and magnetometry, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Near infrared (NIR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as well as energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy are reviewed in- depth. With the wide range of now affordable quantitative methods, high-resolution sampling, and large datasets available across strata, outcrop research can offer unprecedented potential for outcrop-to-core-to-well log correlation, and subsequent (paleo)environmental analysis while keeping data reproducibility at a high level. This book serves as a useful reference guide for geoscientists, academicians, and researchers, helping them keep pace with advances in technology and instrumentation and conduct state-of-the-art research in geosciences.

A synthesis of current knowledge on global extensional tectonics The extension of Earth¿s lithosphere occurs at divergent plate boundaries as well as in plate interiors. The geological, geochemical, and sedimentary processes of extension offer insights into topics ranging from the fundamentals of tectonics to the evolution of life. Extensional Tectonics: Rifting and Continental Extension reviews present-day knowledge of extensional tectonic processes and explores examples from around the world. Volume highlights include: <ul> <li> Overview of extensional tectonic processes from continental rifting to oceanic basin formation </li> <li> In-depth examination of extension along rift systems and rift margins </li> <li> Review of post-collisional continental extension </li> <li> Examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas </li><li> Insights from observations, modeling, and 3D seismic data interpretation of extended terrains </li> </ul> This book is one of a set of three in the collection Tectonic Processes: A Global View.
