Geological and Geo-Environmental Processes on Earth
暫譯: 地球上的地質與地環境過程

這本獻給已故的 P.S. Saklani 教授的編輯專著，探討了與構造運動和岩漿作用在地殼演化及金屬和非金屬礦產分佈中的多學科主題。它提供了有關大陸和海洋地殼的地動演化、結構、岩石學、同位素、變質、地球化學和地質年代學特徵的寶貴資訊，並挑戰現有範式的重新評估。它探討了岩漿作用、金屬生成及地質年代（U-Pb SHRIMP 年齡、Lu-Hf 同位素系統；碎屑鋯石）的應用。

本書還主張構造在地下水污染、排水模式和地熱系統控制中的作用。它探討了地球對自然災害的脆弱性，例如地震、洪水、颶風、海嘯、火山活動、颶風和乾旱。本卷闡明了遙感、GIS（地理資訊系統）和 SRTM 數據在評估形態測量和形態構造參數以及探索河流流域對侵蝕和洪水的易感性方面的應用。這將對研究生和碩士生以及專業人士和研究人員有所裨益。
