    Genesis, Location, Use

    by Benjamin S. Persons ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    In comparison with engineering, geology is a relatively new domain of know ledge. Man has been building almost from the moment he came down out of the trees or emerged from the caves. All of his structures were founded in or upon rock or soil. Before the end of what we call ancient history, he had learned a great deal about materials, mechanics, and structures. This empirical information had ... Read more

    Fundamentals, Processes and Applications

    Edited by J. Schüring, H.D. Schulz, W.R. Fischer, W.H.M. Duijnisveld, J. Böttcher ...
    Few processes are as important for environmental geochemistry as the interplay between the oxidation and reduction of dissolved and solid species. The knowledge of the redox conditions is most important to predict the geochemical behaviour of a great number of components, the mobilities of which are directly or indirectly controlled by redox processes. The understanding of the chemical mechanisms ... Read more

  • Towards a Model of Ocean Biogeochemical Processes

    Edited by Geoffrey T. Evans, Michael J.R. Fasham ...
    Key biogeochemical events in the ocean take place in less than a second, are studied in experiments lasting a few hours, and determine cycles that last over seasons or even years. Models of the controlling processes thus have to take into account these time scales. This book aims at achieving consensus among these controlling processes at all relevant time scales. It helps understand the global ... Read more
