  • Ophiolites

    Ancient Oceanic Lithosphere?

    by R. G. Coleman ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    I was invited to write this book as part of the Minerals, Rocks and Organic Materials Series of Springer-Verlag by Professor Peter J. Wyllie in 1974. Ophiolites have preoccupied me ever since 1948 as a graduate student and up to the present time as part of my research with the U.S. Geological Survey. During this period ophiolite, an obscure European geological term, has attained an ever-increasing ... Read more

  • Ocean Biogeochemistry

    The Role of the Ocean Carbon Cycle in Global Change

    Edited by Michael J.R. Fasham ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere. During the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), has been studying the ocean carbon cycle to quantify and model the biological and physical processes whereby CO2 is pumped from the ocean's surface to the depths of the ocean, where it can remain for hundreds of years. This ... Read more

  • Thermal Signatures of Heat Transfer Processes in the Earth’s Crust

    Translated by C. Newcomb ...
    Series Book 85 - Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences
    This book deals with the signatures left by geodynamic proceses in the temperature field of the Earth's crust. First, it introduces briefly the established, indirect methods for interpreting the present termperature field and methods for reconstructing the thermal fields of the geological past. Then the spatial and temporal scales that are relevant for heat transport processes are described. This ... Read more

  • The Relevance of Manganese in the Ocean for the Climatic Cycles in the Quaternary

    Vorgelegt in der Sitzung vom 18. November 1989

    Series series Sitzungsber.Heidelberg 90
    It is widely accepted that there is a relationship between ice volume and the solar insolation in summer in the northern hemisphere. The Earth's glacial cycles are driven by cyclic changes in the Earth's orbital elements. This conclusion is based on the strong coherence between the approx. 20000 and 40000 year spectral components of ice volume and insolation (Milankovitch-curve) records. These ... Read more

  • Carbon Cycle in the Russian Arctic Seas

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    At present, studies of the Arctic Basin are of particular importance to the world scientific community due to the strong influence of this region on the global climate, its enormous mineral and hydrocarbon resources, the poor knowledge about the polar biosphere, and the growing anthropogenic pollution of the Arctic (Gramberg et al. 2000; KIuev 2000). Therefore, the forthcoming century is sometimes ... Read more

    An Analysis of the Xisha Islands

    by Liqiang Xu ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This study describes the fundamentals of assessing the vulnerability of coral islands, as well as environmental management and resource exploitation. Using seabird subfossils, such as bones, guano, eggshells etc., which have been well preserved on the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea, the author identifies the influences of climate change and human activity on seabird populations and diets. ...

  • The Mid-Oceanic Ridges

    Mountains Below Sea Level

    Translated by T. Reimer ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Over the past 20 years, geologists have come to realize that the real object of their studies is the Earth, and that their favorite subjects, whether basalts, earthquakes, or the Tibetan plateau (for example) are only the means to understanding the Earth itself as a complete entity. Geology has thus acquired aglobai perspective. The study of any particular regional problem is only of general ... Read more
