  • Metasomatism and the Chemical Transformation of Rock

    The Role of Fluids in Terrestrial and Extraterrestrial Processes

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Fluid-aided mass transfer and subsequent mineral re-equilibration are the two defining features of metasomatism and must be present in order for metamorphism to occur. Coupled with igneous and tectonic processes, metasomatism has played a major role in the formation of the Earth’s continental and oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle as well as in their evolution and subsequent stabilization. ...

  • Hydrogeology of Crystalline Rocks

    Edited by Kurt Bucher, I. Stober ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Hydrogeology of Crystalline Rocks deals with deep groundwater in the granite and gneiss basement of the continents. It has become evident during the past years that highly mineralized water is present in an interconnected fracture network of the basement. Thus, the upper part of the crust of the continents can be viewed as an aquifer and investigated with tools common in hydrogeology.This book ... Read more
