Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism
Ultrahigh Pressure Metamorphism (UHPM) is a fast growing discipline that was established 25 years ago after discoveries of high pressure minerals, coesite and diamonds. The current explosion of research on UHMP terranes reflects their significance for understanding large scale mantle dynamics, major elements of plate tectonics such as continental collisions, deep subduction and exhumation, mountains building, geochemical recycling 'from surface to the core', and a deep storage of light elements participating in green-house effects in the atmosphere. This book provides insights into the formation of diamond and coesite at very high pressures and explores new ideas regarding the tectonic setti...
Neutron Applications in Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences
Neutron Applications in Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences offers a comprehensive overview of the wide ranging applications of neutron scattering techniques to elucidate the fundamental materials properties at the nano-, micro- and meso-scale, which underpin research in the related fields of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences. Introductions to neutron scattering fundamentals and instrumentation are paired with a thorough review of the applications to a large variety of scientific and technological problems, written through the direct experience of leading scientists in each field. Tailored to a wide audience, this volume provides the novice with an inspiring introduction and stimulates the expert to consider these non-conventional problem solving techniques in his/her field of interest. Earth and environmental scientists, engineers, researchers and graduate students involved with materials science will find Neutron Applications in Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences a valuable ready-to-use reference.
Orogenic Processes in the Alpine Collision Zone
This book covers a multitude of Alpine-type working areas and processes active in collisional mountain building in the form of 16 selected very up-to-date review and research articles covering the Alps, Carpathians and Dinarides. These data were presented at the 8th workshop on Alpine Geological Studies in Davos held in October 2007. The compilations and new data are of interest to earth scientists interested in mountain building in general and those interested in processes of continental collision in particular. The book is virtually indispensable for advanced students and scientists involved in Alpine studies.

The Geology of Central Europe
Volume 2 provides an overview of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic evolution of Central Europe. This period commenced with the destruction of Pangaea and ended with the formation of the Alps and Carpathians and the subsequent Ice Ages. Separate summary chapters on the Permian to Cretaceous tectonics and the Alpine evolution are also included. The final chapter provides an overview of the fossils fuels, ore and industrial minerals in the region.
Erinnerungen an die Pioniere des Schweizerischen Nationalparks
Die "Erinnerungen an Pioniere des Schweizerischen Nationalparks" sind ein Beitrag zur Geschichte des Schweizerischen Nationalparks, insbesondere zu dessen Forschungsgeschichte. Dem Ansatz der Oral History folgend erinnern sich heute lebende Personen an Persönlichkeiten, welche die Forschung im Nationalpark zum Teil über Jahrzehnte hinweg geprägt haben und deren Forschungsergebnisse auch heute noch wichtige Grundlagen für weitere Projekte bilden. Denn die Langzeitforschung, das Erfassen der natürlichen Veränderungen in einer vom Menschen weitgehend unberührten Landschaft, ist ein zentrales Anliegen der Forschung im Nationalpark. Die Erinnerungen sind zum Teil sehr persönlich geprägt, deshalb aber nicht weniger wertvoll als rein biografische Fakten. Sie beschreiben die damaligen Rahmenbedingungen, geben Einblicke in die Motivation für die intensive Beschäftigung mit der Natur im Nationalpark und zeigen auf, dass hinter den publizierten Forschungsergebnissen immer auch Individuen stehen – Menschen mit ihrem besonderen Charakter, mit ihren Vorlieben und Abneigungen, mit ihren Ecken und Kanten.
