The World According to Rock (CON 23)

Great for Kids! A series of water-colour illustrations with free verse text tells the reader about many common rock types. The text describes Earth processes that form and reform different rocks. The reader will explore how useful rocks have been in our everyday life - providing building and art materials, giving us seasoning for the table, fuelling energy plants, offering beautiful scenery, locating survey points and proving playgrounds. In this book you will write on, dive off, throw, skip, kick and collect rocks. I photographic index provides rock definitions.

Great for Kids! A series of photographs accompanied by poems let the reader explore varied land forms in the United States, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, New York, Texas, Wisconsin and

Wyoming. In the world the reader explores land forms from Algeria, Mali, Mauritania and Spain. The texts give the reader a description of the land forms and explains how they are made by natural processes, compared to human imprints on the Earth's surface.

Climate Change and Landscape in the Canadian Rocky Mountains (CON 25)

Climate change is a prominent issue today. Its physical effects together with political initiatives to ameliorate human-induced climate change will affect the social and economic lives of us all. This book explains the science on which climate interpretations are based. It describes the global and local sources of paleoclimate information, how climate changes are dated, and how this information is used to reconstruct the Ice Age climate history of the Canadian Rockies over the last 30,000 years.

Field Geology Illustrated (CON 26)

Field Geology Illustrated is a reliable, in-depth field reference for professional geologists, serious amateur geologists, and other environmental scientists. This entirely new second edition represents the first detailed, comprehensive book on field geology in 20 years. Richly illustrated with 688 high-quality photographs and 300 interpretative sketches, this 704-page book is printed on glossy paper to show important structural and textural features. Contents include marine geological surveys, plutonic rocks, volcanic rocks, continental deposits, marine deposits, deformed rocks (joints, faults, folds, cleavage) weathering processes and soils, ground water, mineral deposits, and the public land survey system.

At Risk: Earthquakes and Tsunamis on the West Coast (CON 27)

This book is the story of the powerful earth forces at work in the western and off-shore areas of British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon, with special emphasis on earthquakes and tsunamis and how they threaten the people who live there. It offers timely and important information for these people and for anyone interested in the interplay between the forces of nature and cities. It provides information on why there are earthquakes and why they are common on the west coast of North America. It describes the giant earthquakes that will likely occur off the coast and the tsunamis that they may trigger. It also describes the destructive earthquakes that could take place on faults close to Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, and Portland. It provides information on the many effects of earthquakes, including ground shaking, landslides, and liquefaction, and societal and individual measures that can be taken to reduce the damage and loss of life from earthquakes and tsunamis.

Geology of the Calgary Area (S24)

The authors of this book hope to acquaint the reader, amateur or professional, with a variety of aspects of the geological history of Calgary and surrounding area. The first two chapters discuss the concept of geologic time and the principles of geology necessary to read the rock record. The ten chapters discuss the geology and geomorphology of a broad area, extending from Banff to Drumheller. Sections on geologic hazards and the archaeology round out the book. A glossary of technical terms is included in the back of the book.

The Devonian of Western Canada - Aspects of a Carbonate Petroleum System, HARD COVER of Volume 49, #1 of the Bulletin of Canadain Petroleum Geology (S57)

A series of papers highlighting various aspects of Devonian (emphasizing the Frasnian) carbonate rocks of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, each describing different- yet related- components of the Devonian hydrocarbon system. These include: stratigraphy, basin tectonics and structure, hydrocarbon source systems, remaining hydrocarbon potential, pool depletion methods.

CD ROM - Dolomites: The Spectrum: Mechanisms, Models, Reservoir Development(S63)

Abstracts of Seminar Presentations, Core Displays and Posters

On Jan 13th through 15th 2004, the CSPG staged a very successful and informative conference entitled "Dolomites - The Spectrum: Mechanisms, Models and Reservoir Development. Out of the one day seminar and the following two days of core conference, there has emerged an extremely useful collection of papers. The proceedings compact disc volume comprises 40 abstracts and short papers. Of these, 27 are short papers (averaging 20 pages each) that represent fully illustrated case histories of dolomitized subsurface reservoirs, mostly from the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. The subsurface case histories follow a standard format to facilitate easy cross-referencing and subject searching. They range from the Silurian Interlake to the Triassic Baldonnel and include such major fields as Ladyfern, Dunvegan, Clarke Lake, Crossfield, and Simonette. The remainder of the papers deal with basic models and constraints, specific dolomitization mechanisms, outcrop examples, reaction-transport modelling, and petrographic techniques. Prior to purchasing you may view both the Core Conference Abstracts and the Seminar Abstracts.
