1995GE-314Berlin Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag 1995. Comprehensive text presents the combination of the most recent oceanographic data with ophiolites representing fossil ocean crust obducted onto the continents by tectonic processes. The existing oceans are geologically relatively young. They formed when a large supercontinent Pangaea broke apart some 150 Ma ago. The mid-oceanic ridges are narrow belts of submarine mountains marking the boundaries between plates which are moving apart with new oceanic crust being created at the same time. Under the continents oceanic crust is subducted. The ocean bottom is an ideal location to study recent geodynamic processes on Earth. Topics covered include plate kinematics; hotspots and mantle plumes; submarine topology and exploration; ophiolites; mantle metallurgy; ridge dynamics; oceanic rocks; mantle diapirism and segmentation; expansion of rifts; etc. 200 pgs.

1992GE-326Berlin-Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag 1992. Perspective views such as block diagrams and fence diagrams have always been an important means of scientific visualization in geology. Advanced three-dimensional computer graphics is a new tool for the construction of such views. This comprehensive book contains papers presented at the first large international meeting Freiburg October 8-11 1990 that brought together working groups engaged in development of 3-D visualization programs for geologic purposes and included people from universities government agencies the mining industry especially oil companies and from software companies engaged in geology and geographic information systems.

1992GO-15Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1992. Scholarly study reopens the debate about the size of the Valley Mexico's indigenous population before the Spanish conquest and the scale and rate of its decline thereafter.
