Free Download The Puchezh-Katunki Impact Crater: Geology and Origin by Victor L. Masaitis
English | EPUB | 2020 | 218 Pages | ISBN : 3030320421 | 105.81 MB
This book presents essential data on the geology of the Puchezh-Katunki crater – an early Jurassic crater located on the East European Platform, with an impact structure that is ca. 80 km in diameter. Offering a comprehensive guide, it reviews the studies carried out during the last several decades on this prominent but not well-known impact structure. It offers the international community state-of-the-art information on the crater with regard to e.g. structural mapping, drilling (including the Vorotilovo well, which is 5374 m deep), geophysical research, and the petrological analysis of impactites and various breccias. In addition, the book includes new results from the mineralization and crystallizations beneath this large impact crater, and suggests new models for crater formations.

Free Download Geology and Tectonics of Northwestern South America: The Pacific-Caribbean-Andean Junction by Fabio Cediel
English | EPUB | 2019 | 1010 Pages | ISBN : 3319761315 | 362.9 MB
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geological evolution of the Northern Andes and contiguous shield areas, with a focus upon Colombia. Updated geological interpretations are supported by modern lithogeochemical, seismic, gravity and magnetic data and radiogenic isotope and radiometric age determinations. The composite data permits a detailed interpretation of the tectono-magmatic history of the Northern Andean Block, including the Andes of Colombia, northern Ecuador, western Venezuela and eastern Panamá.

Free Download Geology and Geochemistry of Molybdenum Deposits in the Qinling Orogen, P R China by YanJing Chen
English | EPUB | 2022 | 854 Pages | ISBN : 9811648697 | 222.9 MB
This book is the first systematic treatise of available data and view-points obtained from geological and geochemical studies of the Mo deposits in Qinling Orogen, China. Qinling Orogen has a minimum reserve of 8.7 Mt Mo, ranking the largest molybdenum province both in China and the world. Incorporating all known Mo deposit types in the world, it presents extensive studies of Mo deposits of world-class and unusual types within tectonic settings.

Free Download Engineering Geology for Society and Territory – Volume 2: Landslide Processes by Giorgio Lollino, Daniele Giordan, Giovanni B. Crosta, Jordi Corominas, Rafig Azzam, Janusz Wasowski, Nicola Sciarra
English | PDF | 2015 | 2015 Pages | ISBN : 3319090569 | 198.3 MB
This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with Landslide processes, including: field data and monitoring techniques, prediction and forecasting of landslide occurrence, regional landslide inventories and dating studies, modeling of slope instabilities and secondary hazards (e.g. impulse waves and landslide-induced tsunamis, landslide dam failures and breaching), hazard and risk assessment, earthquake and rainfall induced landslides, instabilities of volcanic edifices, remedial works and mitigation measures, development of innovative stabilization techniques and applicability to specific engineering geological conditions, use of geophysical techniques for landslide characterization and investigation of triggering mechanisms.

Free Download Mechanics in Structural Geology by Brian Bayly
English | PDF | 1992 | 257 Pages | ISBN : 0387976159 | 30.9 MB
From the reviews: "…one of the charms of this book is that it is different from both structural geology text books and mechanics texts. Bayly has brought these two fields together admirably, with great intelligence, imagination and originality. For this reason alone, I think all active structural geologists, whether in research or teaching, and particularly those concerned with theory, should read this book."
