DOWNLOAD EBOOKPublished by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series, Volume 361. This field trip enables delegates attending the Twenty-eighth International Geological Congress to spend several days in the largest city in the United States. Local geologists have designed day-long field trips to acquaint participants with the complex geology of the New York city metropolitan region. The papers included in this book will serve as guides to the planned trips but may not necessarily follow the order in which the trips will be scheduled.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book helps a novice to explore the terrain independently. Geoscience fieldwork with a focus on structural geology and tectonics has become more important in the last few years from both academic and industrial perspectives. This book also works as a resource material for batches of students or geological survey professional undergoing training as parts of their course curriculum. Industry persons, on the other hand, can get a first-hand idea about what to expect in the field, in case no academic person is available with the team. This book focused on structural geology and tectonics compiles for the very first time terrains from several regions of the globe.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow were the Appalachian Mountains formed? Are the barrier islands moving? Is there gold in the Carolinas? The answers to these questions and many more appear in this reader-friendly guide to the geology of North Carolina and South Carolina. Exploring the Geology of the Carolinas pairs a brief geological history of the region with 31 field trips to easily accessible, often familiar sites in both states where readers can observe firsthand the evidence of geologic change found in rocks, river basins, mountains, waterfalls, and coastal land formations. Geologist Kevin Stewart and science writer Mary-Russell Roberson begin by explaining techniques geologists use to "read" rocks, the science of plate tectonics, and the formation of the Carolinas. The field trips that follow are arranged geographically by region, from the Blue Ridge to the Piedmont to the Coastal Plain. Richly illustrated and accompanied by a helpful glossary of geologic terms, this field guide is a handy and informative carry-along for hikers, tourists, teachers, and families--anyone interested in the science behind the sights at their favorite Carolina spots. Includes field trips to: Grandfather Mountain, N.C. Linville Falls, N.C. Caesars Head State Park, S.C. Reed Gold Mine, N.C. Pilot Mountain State Park, N.C. Raven Rock State Park, N.C. Sugarloaf Mountain, S.C. Santee State Park, S.C. Jockey's Ridge State Park, N.C. Carolina Beach State Park, N.C. and 21 more sites in the Carolinas!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis field guide to important geological locations describes the geology and volcanic significant at 39 stops on Oahu. It included a short introduction on how Hawaiian hotspot shield volcanoes formed and emerged from the sea floor. This is followed by the most current understanding of how the island of Oahu formed during the past 5 million years. This guidebook is a travel companion for residents and visitors alike that can easily be carried while you drive and hike to the many locations to see first-hand some of the mysteries geologists have uncovered as you explore our magical island. You will explore the geology of Oahu visiting numerous world-class locations and see many volcanic landforms present at our most informative geological locations. Following the overview of the geology and descriptions of the volcanic rock types found on Oahu we provide a brief overview of the typical life and demise of a Hawaiian hotspot volcano (Chapter 3) and an overview of Oahu's three main shield volcanoes (Chapter 4). Chapters 5 through 8 include the 39 stops depicted by detailed satellite images, topographic maps, high-quality photographs, plots, and illustrative figures that describe what you are looking at as you drive, hike, boat, canoe, walk to these readily accessible locations at your leisure.
