This is a book by the
Scottish geologist Charles Lyell. Lyell used geology throughout as a basis to
strengthen his argument for Uniformitarianism.This book explains the geological
state of the modern Earth by considering the long-term effects of observable
natural phenomena.
This book
relates fractals and chaos to a variety of geological and geophysical
applications. This book contains eight chapters showing the recent
applications of the fractal or mutifractal analysis in geosciences. Two chapters
are devoted to applications of the fractal analysis in climatology, two of them
to data of cosmic and solar geomagnetic data from observatories. Four chapters
of the book contain some applications of the (multi-) fractal analysis in
exploration geophysics.
New Theory of the Earth, is a book written by Don L. Anderson. This
is an interdisciplinary advanced textbook on all aspects of the interior of the
Earth and its origin, composition, and evolution: geophysics, geochemistry,
dynamics, convection, mineralogy, volcanism, energetics and thermal history.
This is the only book on the whole landscape of deep Earth processes that ties
together all the strands of the subdisciplines.
This course note covers sediments in the rock cycle, production of
sediments at the Earth's surface, physics and chemistry of sedimentary
materials, and scale and geometry of near-surface sedimentary bodies, including
aquifers. It also explores topics like sediment transport and deposition in
modern sedimentary environments, burial and lithification, survey of major
sedimentary rock types, stratigraphic relationships of sedimentary basins, and
evolution of sedimentary processes through geologic time.
This note covers the following topics:
course introduction water balance equation , aquifers porosity and darcys law ,

A sufficient number of leading facts has been introduced to enable
the learner to feel that every important principle is a conclusion to which he
has himself arrived; and yet, for the purpose of compression, that fullness of
detail has been avoided with which more extended works abound. In furtherance
of the same object, authorities are seldom cited.
