Radioactivity and Geology, an Account of the Influence of Radioactive Energy on Terrestrial History (Classic Reprint)
Author: John Joly
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780656128372
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Excerpt from Radioactivity and Geology, an Account of the Influence of Radioactive Energy on Terrestrial History To these laboriously detailed observations upon the rocks the more generalized ones upon the radioactivity of the ocean have to be added. In its waters and its sediments we are presented with the age-long accumulation of materials arising from the denudation of the primary rocks. Thus the oceanic radioactivity testifies to the world-wide presence of uranium in those surface materials which, throughout the whole of geological time, contributed substances to the seas. When, finally, we compare the results on impoverished detrital sediments with those on the igneous rocks, we find their joint evidence in harmony with that yielded by the ocean. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Radioactive Waste Disposal and Geology
Author: Konrad Krauskopf
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400912013
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
The perception of radioactive waste as a major problem for the industrial world has developed only recently. Four decades ago the disposal of such waste was regarded as a relatively minor matter. Those were the heady days when nuclear fission seemed the answer to the world's energy needs: the two wartime bombs had demonstrated its awesome power, and now it was to be harnessed for the production of electricity, the excavation of canals, even the running of cars and airplanes. In all applications of fission some waste containing radioactive elements would be generated of course, but it seemed only a trivial annoyance, a problem whose solution could be deferred until the more exciting challenges of constructing reactors and devising more efficient weapons had been mastered. So waste accumulated, some in tanks and some buried in shallow trenches. These were recognized as only temporary, makeshift measures, because it was known that the debris would be hazardous to its surroundings for many thousands of years and hence that more permanent disposal would someday be needed. The difficulty of accomplishing this more lasting disposal only gradually became apparent. The difficulty has been compounded by uncertainty about the physiological effects oflow-Ievel radiation, by the inadequacy of detailed knowledge about the behavior of engineered and geologic materials over long periods under unusual conditions, and by the sensitization of popular fears about radiation in all its forms following widely publicized reactor accidents and leaks from waste storage sites.

Radioactive and Stable Isotope Geology
Author: H.-G. Attendorn
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401158401
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
Accelerating progress in the application of radioactive and stable isotope analysis to a varied range of geologicla and geochemical problems in geology has required a complete revision of Isotopes in the Earth Sciences, published in 1988. This new book comprises four parts: the first introduces isotopic chemistry and examines mass spectroscopic methods; the second eeals with radiometric dating methods. Part Three examines the importance of isotopes in climato-environmental studies, and increasingly significant area of research. The last part looks at extra-terrestrial matter, geothermometry and the isotopic geochemistry of the Earth's lithosphere. Post-graduate and post-doctoral researchers in geochemistry, as well as final year undergraduates in the earth and environmental sciences, will find Radioactive and Stable Isotope Geology an invaluable, uo-to-date and thorough treatment of the theory and practice of isotopie geology.
