  • A Natural History of Time

    by Pascal Richet ...
    Translated by John Venerella ...
    The quest to pinpoint the age of the Earth is nearly as old as humanity itself. For most of history, people trusted mythology or religion to provide the answer, even though nature abounds with clues to the past of the Earth and the stars. In A Natural History of Time, geophysicist Pascal Richet tells the fascinating story of how scientists and philosophers examined those clues and from them built ... Read more

    What Fossil Molecules Reveal about Earth History

    by Susan M. Gaines, Geoffrey Eglinton, Jurgen Rullkotter ...
    In 1936 a German chemist identified certain organic molecules that he had extracted from ancient rocks and oils as the fossil remains of chlorophyll--presumably from plants that had lived and died millions of years in the past. It was another twenty-five years before this insight was developed and the term "biomarker" coined to describe fossil molecules whose molecular structures could reveal the ... Read more

    Physical and Chemical Dating Methods and Their Application

    by Mebus A. Geyh, Helmut Schleicher ...
    Translated by Clark Newcomb ...
    With the growing recognition during the last two centuries that the Earth has an immense age and processes over long periods of time have changed the morphology and composition of the Earth's crust, geologists have become increasingly interested in determination of absolute ages. A rela tive geochronology was established on the basis of the lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic principles ... Read more

  • Old-Growth Forests

    Function, Fate and Value

    Edited by Christian Wirth, Gerd Gleixner, Martin Heimann ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Many terms often used to describe old-growth forests imply that these forests are less vigorous, less productive and less stable than younger forests. But research in the last two decades has yielded results that challenge the view of old-growth forests being in decline. Given the importance of forests in battling climate change and the fact that old-growth forests are shrinking at a rate of 0.5% ... Read more

  • Applied Hydrodynamics in Petroleum Exploration

    by Eric C. Dahlberg ...
    In the first edition of this book, we observed that it had been created to fill a need for a usable "self-contained volume on hydrodynamics" (and hydrogeology) that was written specifically for the petroleum industry, but could also serve the earth science community in general. When the first edition was published (1982), M. K. Hubbert, the father of petroleum hydrodynamics, was approaching the ... Read more
