Excerpt from Selected Annotated Bibliography on Asphalt-Bearing Rocks of the United States and Canada, to 1970: A Compilation of About 600 Selected References Pertaining to the Geology and Occurrence of Asphalt-Bearing Rocks Asphalt-bearing deposits most commonly occur around the margins of oil-producing basins in which the oil-containing for mations are near the surface. The locations of many of the early discovery oil wells were on or near outcrops of asphalt-bearing rocks. Asphalt deposits also occur within the basins where folds and faults have brought these asphalt-bearing formations to the surface. Prior to production of petroleum from wells, such de posits were mined for recovery of petroleum products and for road material. A few asphalt-bearing rocks are being mined at the present time for the asphaAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This concise, much-needed guide takes readers step by step through planning and executing field work associated with many different types of remote sensing projects. Remote sensing texts and research reports typically focus on data-analytic techniques while offering a dearth of information on procedures followed in the field. In contrast, this book provides clear recommendations for defining field work objectives, devising a valid sampling plan, finding locations using GPS, and selecting and using effective measurement techniques for field reflectance spectra and for studies of vegetation, soils, water, and urban areas. Appendices feature sample field note forms, an extensive bibliography on advanced and specialized methods, and online metadata sources.

No engineering structure can be built on the ground or within it without the influence of geology being experienced by the engineer. Yet geology is an ancillary subject to students of engineering and it is therefore essential that their training is supported by a concise, reliable and usable text on geology and its relationship to engineering. In this book all the fundamental aspects of geology are described and explained, but within the limits thought suitable for engineers. It describes the structure of the earth and the operation of its internal processes, together with the geological processes that shape the earth and produce its rocks and soils. It also details the commonly occurring types of rock and soil, and many types of geological structure and geological maps. Care has been taken to focus on the relationship between geology and geomechanics, so emphasis has been placed on the geological processes that bear directly upon the composition, structure and mechanics of soil and rocks, and on the movement of groundwater. The descriptions of geological processes and their products are used as the basis for explaining why it is important to investigate the ground, and to show how the investigations may be conducted at ground level and underground. Specific instruction is provided on the relationship between geology and many common activities undertaken when engineering in rock and soil.
