Mantle Dynamics and Plate Interactions in East Asia
Author: Martin F. J. Flower
Publisher: American Geophysical Union
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geodynamics Series, Volume 27. Geophysical imaging techniques and petrologic probes are yielding dramatic new evidence of the structure and dynamic impact of mantle on plate kinematics. The thin-viscous sheet and extrusion tectonics models explain much of Asian geology in terms of the Indo-Eurasian collision. Enigmatic features remain, however, including the rapid post-Mesozoic formation of western Pacific marginal basins, widespread postextrusion basalt and shoshonite magmatism, and the presence of isotopically anomalous asthenosphere beneath the region.

The Magnetotelluric Method
Author: Alan D. Chave
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107376971
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 571
Book Description
The magnetotelluric method is a technique for imaging the electrical conductivity and structure of the Earth, from the near surface down to the 410 km transition zone and beyond. This book forms the first comprehensive overview of magnetotellurics, from the salient physics and its mathematical representation to practical implementation in the field, data processing, modeling and geological interpretation. Electromagnetic induction in 1-D, 2-D and 3-D media is explored, building from first principles, and with thorough coverage of the practical techniques of time series processing, distortion, numerical modeling and inversion. The fundamental principles are illustrated with a series of case histories describing geological applications. Technical issues, instrumentation and field practices are described for both land and marine surveys. This book provides a rigorous introduction to magnetotellurics for academic researchers and advanced students, and will be of interest to industrial practitioners and geoscientists wanting to incorporate rock conductivity into their interpretations.

Helium Isotopes in Nature
Author: B.A. Mamyrin
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 148328980X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Developments in Geochemistry, Volume 3: Helium Isotopes in Nature presents the isotopic investigations of noble gases. This book describes the origin, the history, and the contemporary distribution of isotopes of helium. Organized into 11 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of mass-spectrometric methods and measurements of the helium isotope abundance. This text then discusses the methods of collecting various terrestrial samples as well as the apparatus for helium extraction, volumetric measurements, and purification. Other chapters consider the isotope composition of primordial, radiogenic, and spallogenic light noble gases. This book discusses as well the origin and distribution of helium isotopes in meteorites, in the Earth's mantle, the crust and ocean, and in the atmosphere. The final chapter deals with the scientific and applied problems that can be resolved to the progress in helium isotope geochemistry. This book is a valuable resource for scientists. Research workers and students interested in the geochemistry of helium will also find this book useful.

A Comprehensive Review of Significant Geological Eras
Author: Miko Avci

ISBN: 9781536182255
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"A Comprehensive Review of Significant Geological Eras begins by exploring the nature and evolution of the lithospheric mantle beneath the North China Craton. The late Cenozoic evolution of the east Eurasian convergent margin is described through an investigation of geothermal events related to regional tectonic movements. The authors discuss how the onset of glacial conditions began in the very early Carboniferous Tournaisian Stage and continued at least until the Gzhelian, or even into the Permian Asselian Stage. The geochemical characteristics of volcanism in the Western Magmatic Belt and Eastern Magmatic are also discussed, indicating early stages of back-arc basins during the Tremadoc. The Neoproterozoic Malani Igneous Suite, the product of mantle plume/hotspot tectonism in the Northwestern Indian shield, is also examined. Thanks to recent developments in archaeobotany and archaeozoology, the authors evaluate how the initial domestication of plants and animals unfolded during the Neolithic revolution. Lastly, the Fars cultural zone is discussed to investigate the Neolithization process in Iran"--
