Geoscience Information
Author: A.P. Harvey
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 940117444X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
The International Conference on Geological Information represents the first major attempt to bring together geoscience information specialists from allover the world. The purpose of the conference was to assess the current state-of the-art in geoscience information from both the regional and functional point of view. It was hoped that the conference could take steps to bring about increased international cooperation and collaboration in the field of geological information. The papers ranged over the whole spec trum of documentation from primary publishing back to the user, including data. Perhaps a keyword for the conference might be "cooperation". The idea of, and need for, cooperation was stressed in almost every talk. The final panel session was devoted to a discussion on the formation of a proposed International Association for Geological Information. Despite the growing pressure on information managers, stimulated by increasing international activities in geology, the global perspective of plate tectonics and worldwide concern for the availability of non-renewable resources, there does not exist an international organisation specifi cally concerned with geological information. Delegates agreed that there was no need for a new professional society of individuals but that a federation or similar organisation might be desirable. In the final session it became apparent that if the geological information community is to make the best use of all the systems and developments available there is very clearly a need to know what exists in all these areas at present. An urgent task is to identify these systems.

Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Libraries that serve special science-oriented and vocational high schools are featured in this important new book. These libraries--largely unknown even in library circles--have developed special collections and services to meet the needs of students whose main interest is science or vocational training. The contributors to this exciting volume are librarians who work in science-oriented and vocational high schools. They share information on the special collections, services, students, activities, and problems that challenge them as they work in some of the countries finest school libraries.

Linkage of Geoscientific Arguments and Evidence in Supporting the Safety Case
Author:
Publisher: OECD Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Radioactive waste disposal in the ground
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
The long-term safety of deep disposal of radioactive waste is strongly dependent on the performance of the geological setting. The geology fulfills important safety functions including isolating the waste from human contact or intrusion, providing a stable physical and chemical environment, insulating against external disturbances, and preventing or delaying the transport of radioactive materials away from the waste. Thus, a sound understanding of the geology's history and evolution is central in supporting assessments that examine the long-term performance and safety of deep disposal. These conference proceedings examine how geoscientific arguments and data are compiled and linked to create a unified description of the geological setting to support a safety case. They also examine practical aspects and limitations in collecting, linking, extrapolating and communicating such information.--Publisher's description.

Geology and Religion
Author: Martina Kölbl-Ebert
Publisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 9781862392694
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
The book discusses this long-standing relationship from a historical point of view, which in the past has been sometimes indifferent, sometimes fruitful and sometimes full of conflict. The relationship continues well into the present. While Christian fundamentalists attack evolution and related palaeontological findings as well as the geological evidence of the age of the Earth, mainstream theologians strive for a fruitful dialogue between science and religion. Much of what is written and discussed today can only be understood, when the historical perspective is added. This book considers the following topics: the development of geology from mythological approaches towards the European Enlightenment, Biblical or Geological Flood and the age of the Earth, geology within 'religious' organizations, biographical case studies of geological clerics and religious geologists, religion and evolution, historical aspects of creationism and its motives.
