  • Foot Steps of the Ancient Great Glacier of North America

    A Long Lost Document of a Revolution in 19th Century Geological Theory

    by Kirk Allen Maasch, Harold W. Borns, Jr. ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    John K. DeLaski, M.D. practiced medicine in the Penobscot Bay region of Maine and, in addition, was a naturalist with keen powers of observation. His study of the landscape led to the conclusion that a thick glacier had overtopped the highest hills, flooded all of Penobscot Bay, extended far to the east and west and probably was part of a greater continental glacier. He published these very ... Read more

  • Climate Change and Cultural Dynamics

    A Global Perspective on Mid-Holocene Transitions

    Edited by David G. Anderson, Kirk Maasch, Daniel H. Sandweiss ...
    The Middle Holocene epoch (8,000 to 3,000 years ago) was a time of dramatic changes in the physical world and in human cultures. Across this span, climatic conditions changed rapidly, with cooling in the high to mid-latitudes and drying in the tropics. In many parts of the world, human groups became more complex, with early horticultural systems replaced by intensive agriculture and small-scale ... Read more

    Edited by Janusz Wasowski, Daniele Giordan, Piernicola Lollino ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    The ongoing population growth is resulting in rapid urbanization, new infrastructure development and increasing demand for the Earth's natural resources (e.g., water, oil/gas, minerals). This, together with the current climate change and increasing impact of natural hazards, imply that the engineering geology profession is called upon to respond to new challenges. It is recognized that these ... Read more

  • Non-standard Problems in Basin Modelling

    by Yurii Galushkin ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book details how the GALO system of basin modelling may be used in the analysis of actual, non-standard problems of geology. It begins by addressing the tectonic subsidence of sedimentary basins, and goes on to consider the problems of maturation of organic matter and hydrocarbon generation in the vicinity of intrusions and subtrappean sedimentary complexes. Lastly, the book discusses the ... Read more

  • Monotonic, Cyclic and Postcyclic Shear Behavior of Low-plasticity Silt

    by Shuying Wang ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book gathers the main research findings on monotonic, cyclic and postcyclic shear behavior of low-plasticity. Drawing on the low-plasticity silt from the Mississippi River Valley, it determines that the silt’s critical state line can be changed due to liquefaction, and thus offers valuable insights and reference data for further investigations on soil mechanics and engineering applications to ...
