Planetary geological processes

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2014
In this introduction to planetary geology, we review the major geologic processes affecting the solid bodies of the solar system, namely volcanism, tectonism, impact cratering, and erosion. We illustrate the interplay of these processes in different worlds, briefly reviewing how they affect the surfaces of the Earth's Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars ...

Rates of geological processes

Earth-Science Reviews, 2021
Abstract Rates are widely used to characterize processes in the geological sciences, and the ratios that rates represent deserve more careful attention. The numerator is a measure of change or difference, and the denominator is generally a corresponding interval of time.

Geological Processes and Evolution

Space Science Reviews, 2001
Geological mapping and establishment of stratigraphic relationships provides an overview of geological processes operating on Mars and how they have varied in time and space. Impact craters and basins shaped the crust in earliest history and as their importance declined, evidence of extensive regional volcanism emerged during the Late Noachian ...

Processes of geological evolution

Journal of the Geological Society, 1971
T he heart of geology has always been represented by a synthesis of diverse disciplines. In the early days of our science, it was from this synthesis that the great historical pageant of the last four thousand million years was built up.

Groundwater in Geologic Processes

2006
The 2006 second edition of this well received and widely adopted textbook has been extensively revised to provide a more comprehensive treatment of hydromechanics (the coupling of groundwater flow and deformation), to incorporate findings from the substantial body of research published since the first edition, and to include three new chapters on ...

The Geological Characterization Process

1994
The primary objective of almost every geological characterization is concerned with predicting the spatial variation of one or more geological variables. In this context, a variable is defined as any property of the geological subsurface that exhibits spatial variability and can be measured in terms of real numeric values.

Isotope Chronology of Geological Processes

2019
The chapter presents new geochronologic results of various isotope techniques (U–Pb SIMS and Re–Os TIMS) along with their comparison with already published data. The main intrusions of the Norilsk district are demonstrated to be emplaced almost simultaneously with two possible magma intrusion pulses at 254 ± 4 and 244 ± 4 Ma (U–Pb SIMS), assuming c. 10

Monitoring Endogenic Geological Processes

2007
Among the most effective and successful environmental observation systems are those operated in Japan, China, the USA, and USSR-Russia. These use a complex of mutually supporting techniques to secure information on seismically dangerous structures and territories (GPS, laseraided telemetric measurements, high-altitude aero-geophysical surveying ...

GRAVITATIONAL GEOLOGICAL PROCESSES (KARST)

Crisis Management and Technologies
The article presents karsts, as one of the gravitational geological processes, developing in rocks (limestone, dolomite, gypsum, anhydrite, sodium and potassium salts) dissolving in natural surface and groundwater. For the first time, an attempt was made to study karsts, changes in hydrogeological conditions during their development and the influence ...
