Geology Geophysics and Exploration Geochemistry

This book on Geology Geophysics and Exploration Geochemistry: A Synopsis Perspective is addressed to students pursuing graduate courses in geology geophysics and geochemistry and environmental science (which constitute the discipline of Earth Science) to gain knowledge and insight into the processes responsible for the bulk composition and internal structure acquired by the Earth. Similarly the book provides understanding different subsurface geological and geophysical structural features for petroleum exploration rationale in terms of production accumulation and preservation of undegraded organic matter that act as prerequisites for the existence of petroleum source rocks. The dynamic earth system and processes generally known as geohazards particularly earthquakes which negatively affect the human development already achieved has been explicitly included. Detailed comparative illustrations are captured in the description and identification properties for some selected rocks and minerals which further provide comparison with the results that will have been obtained from the actual field studies. It’s a user-friendly and resourceful book for young practising geoscientists.
