| Epithermal Gold in the Philippines: Island Arc Metallogenesis, Geothermal Systems and Geology Product# 460684325 Selling for $236.95 This is the first comprehensive account of Philippine gold deposits and geology. Epithermal gold deposits present a major challenge to geologists because the nature of the surface environment beneath which major deposits develop and the regional geological controls by the creation of major deposits remain poorly understood. New ideas on the genus of gold deposits and relationship to Philippine tectonics together with new data on Southeast Asia gold and tectonics are covered. |
| El Nino, LA Nina, and the Southern Oscillation Product# 460684365 Selling for $97.95 "El Nino and the Southern Oscillation is by far the most striking phenomenon caused by the interplay of ocean and atmosphere. It can be explained neither in strictly oceanographic nor strictly meteorological terms. This volume provides a brief history of the subject, summarizes the oceanographic and meteorological observations and theories, and discusses the recent advances in computer modeling studies of the phenomenon. Key Features * Includes a comprehensive and up-to-date research survey * Discusses in detail sophisticated computer models * Provides a clear exposition of the major problems which prevent more accurate predictions of El Nino" |
