Basic Geological Mapping Third Edition John Barnes Formerly of the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Wales Swansea Geological mapping cannot be taught solely by means of lectures and laboratory classes-it must be learned in the field. Basic Geological Mapping is a concise guide to techniques used for constructing accurate geological maps, and is designed to be of greatest use in the field. Accurate geological maps are the basis of all geological work, and therefore no piece of geological mapping can be considered complete until the geology has been interpreted and explained. In addressing this, there are chapters within this field guide on drawing cross-sections, drafting and presenting 'fair copy' maps, and on preparing geological diagrams from field work suitable for inclusion in reports. This revised and updated volume includes a new section on vegetational guides to underlying rocks and an appendix on the use of the plane table in geological mapping. From a review of a previous edition Among the principal merits of this book is that the author has managed to condense a substantial amount of information important to field geologists into just over 100 pages of very readable well-illustrated material. The book is a sturdily constructed paperback, modestly priced and of a compact size convenient for carrying in the field . Basic Geological Mapping would serve as an excellent supplementary text for those wishing to learn the fundamentals of field work on their own. George C. Dunne, Journal of Geological Education

This handy pocket-sized guide shows how to achieve successful fieldwork on sedimentary rocks, paying particular detail to the precision and accuracy of recording detail. Various sedimentary rock-types, textures and all the basic field techniques required are clearly described. Thoroughly revised to incorporate up-to-date information, this 3rd edition will be of use to all students and professionals with a geological background. Features include: New sections on safety in the field, the use of GPS in sedimentary studies, core description, fossils as depth indicators and facies models. Improved illustrations and a new updated layout.

This is the only introductry guide to field practice which gives complete, practical information on how hydrological and geological information essential to water resource development is obtained and assembled. Stressing day-to-day problems of the hydrogeologist during field investigation, it describes the basic apparatus for taking appropriate measurements and how to find and make the most of previous records and surveys. The geological assessment of aquifers and underground water systems and appropriate survey methods are explained as well as procedures for solving particular problems. A final chapter discusses good working practices. The book is fully illustrated.

Since the first edition was published in 1987 Image Interpretation in Geology has established itself as essential reading for earth science, environmental science and physical geography students studying the geological applications of remote sensing and image interpretation. The book describes the fundamentals of remote data capture and image processing, their practical limitations, and new techniques such as digital radar imaging and hyperspectral data analysis. Geological applications such as mapping, mineral exploration, and geohazards are illustrated by numerous black-and-white photgraphs and a colour plate section. A list of URLs encourages exploration of some of the excellent remote image resources on the internet. New to the 3rd Edition is a CD-ROM (Mac and PC format) which contains an image gallery (with accompanying spectacles for viewing in 3-D), exercises, and TNTLite. This software, a fully-functional version of MicroImages Inc's TNTMips, encourages students to experience at first-hand the immense power of modern image processing and interpretation software, and will allow lecturers to devise a wide range of practical exercises to support their courses.

This handy pocket-sized book provides practical information and assistance to anyone engaged in small-scale surveys on the ground. The 3rd edition updates the considerable changes in instrumentation, and far-reaching developments in applications that have occurred since 1996. New sections include details on Ground Penetrating Radar, VLF and CSAMT/MT, GPS navigation, electromagnetic methods of conductivity mapping, capacity coupling, and audiomagnetotellurics (AMT).
