the geology and climatology of yucca mountain and vicinity southern nevada and california edited by john s stuckless and robert a levich yucca mountain nevada has been approved by congress as the site for the nation s high-level radioactive waste repository after more than 20 years of intensive geological and environmental study yucca mountain was chosen for its geological capacity to isolate the waste for at least 10,000 years thus yucca mountain has received more detailed study and hazard analysis than any other comparable feature on the planet the path to development however still faces political technical and scientific controversy in part because yucca mountain is within the tectonically active basin and range province this volume explains the reasoning and the history for the selection of yucca mountain it presents important results of the site characterization study including discussion of the tectonic setting detailed structural geology and stratigraphy evaluation of tectonic models that have been proposed and a study of the climate history and possible climate change that could affect the mountain s ability to isolate radioactive waste mwr199 205 p isbn-13

and biosphere constraints from ore deposits edited by stephen e kesler and hiroshi ohmoto 2006 the history of earth s early atmosphere hydrosphere and biosphere from hadean through proterozoic time is one of geology s enduring puzzles ore deposits provide important insights into this history because they contain elements and minerals that are highly sensitive to the geochemical environment in which they form just what these minerals tell us remains a matter of considerable debate however when and how did life develop an oxygen-rich atmosphere form and sulfate dominate the ocean this volume

large wavelength deformations of the lithosphere materials for a history of the evolution of thought from the earliest times to plate tectonics by a.m.c s ¸engör 2003 this volume takes readers on a fascinating journey that follows the development of ideas concerning large-wavelength lithospheric deformation that forms broad uplifts and basins the journey begins millennia ago with middle eastern and asian mythology and ends with the plate tectonic revolution in the mid-twentieth century readers are treated to a multitude of legends observations and theories along with a host of characters who have explored this subject from plato and aristotle through de beaumont and suess to cloos wilson and burke in order to tell that story s ¸engör has consulted an immense number and variety of sources many from his own large collection of rare geological and historical texts whether you read this volume as a geologist or as a historian you ll have an enjoyable journey tracing the connections

proterozoic tectonic evolution of the grenville orogen in north america edited by richard p tollo louise corriveau james mclelland and mervin j bartholomew 2004 the geological evolution of the grenville orogenic belt represents one of the most widespread episodes of crustal modification in earth s history the 39 papers in this volume offer a system-wide perspective on rocks and processes of the mesoproterozoic grenville orogen and appalachian inliers and include many multidisciplinary studies presenting results from integrated petrologic geochemical and geochronologic investigations the volume includes contributions concerning the grenvillian geology of canada the united states and mexico focusing on both the tectonic evolution of the orogen and on innovative approaches to deciphering the igneous geologic evolution of the mojave desert and southwestern basin and range edited by allen f glazner j douglas walker and john m bartley 2002 the geologic evolution of the mojave desert and southwestern basin and range provinces has long been a puzzle in spite of their key positions at the junction of several important tectonic provinces the 16 contributions in this volume
