In Sedimentary Rocks in the Field, 4th Edition, Maurice Tucker builds upon the success of previous editions to produce a fully revised and illustrated title, retaining the popular pocket size essential for those working in the field.
The title shows how sedimentary rocks are practically tackled while describing how the features of sedimentary rocks can be recorded, particularly through the construction of graphic logs.
In succeeding chapters sedimentary rock types, textures and structures are discussed to demonstrate how they can be described and measured. There are also expanded sections on trace fossils along with an updated reference list.
In the second title of the series Dougal Jerram and Nick Petford present The Field Description of Igneous Rocks, 2nd Edition. This latest edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to include advances in physical volcanology, emplacement of magmas and interpreting structures and textures in igneous rocks.
The book integrates new field based techniques with new topics on magma mixing and mingling, sill emplacement and magma sediment interaction.
In Field Geophysics, 4th Edition co-authors Asger Eriksen and John Milsom present a title offering practical information and assistance to anyone engaged in small-scale surveys on the ground.
This fourth edition includes comprehensive updates on the use of GPR and GPS and new sections on surface wave seismics and towed array systems.
This has become the standard text in this area for use in the field and the experience of the two authors will ensure the book retains its place as one of the most popular handbooks in applied geophysics.
This successful series ensures that wherever you are, from volcanic basins to mountain tops, essential practical information and techniques are at your fingertips.
