Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks (2023)
by K. Bucher, 9th Edition
Springer International Publishing, ISBN: 9783031125935

This new edition of the classic textbook presents a large number of diagrams showing the stability relations among minerals and groups of minerals found in metamorphic rocks. The diagrams help to determine the pressure and temperature conditions under which a given set of metamorphic rocks may have formed. Other parameters that control metamorphic mineral assemblages are also discussed and pitfalls resulting from simplifications and generalizations are highlighted. The book discusses the most common metamorphic rock types, their nomenclature, structure and graphical representation of their mineral assemblages.

Geothermie (2014)
I. Stober und K. Bucher, 3. Auflage
Springer Spektrum, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
ISBN: 978-3-642-41762-7. ISBN: 978-3-642-41763-4 (e-book)

Nach einer Einführung in die Grundlagen der Geothermie werden die wichtigsten thermischen und hydraulischen Parameter in ihrer Bedeutung behandelt. Das nunmehr bereits in der 2., überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Auflage vorliegende Buch gibt einen Überblick über alle derzeit verfügbaren Nutzungssysteme der oberflächennahen und tiefen Geothermie und betrachtet diese bezüglich ihrer Effizienz und potentieller Umweltauswirkungen. Im Detail besprochen werden Planung, Bau und Betrieb von Erdwärmesonden, von hydrothermalen Anlagen und von EGS-Systemen. Spezielle Kapitel sind der Hydraulik, d.h. der Durchführung und Auswertung hydraulischer Tests, und der Hydrochemie, d.h. dem Themenbereich Lösung und Fällung, gewidmet. Mit diesem Buch wird erstmalig die Geothermie in ihrer vollen Breite abgedeckt

This book contains the necessary technical information needed for developing and understanding geothermal energy projects. It presents basic knowledge on the Earth’s thermal regime and its geothermal energy resources, the types of geothermal energy used as well as its future potential and the perspectives of the industry. Specific chapters deal with borehole heat exchangers and with the direct use of groundwater and thermal water in hydrogeothermal systems. A central topic are Enhanced Geothermal Systems (hot-dry-rock systems), a key technology for energy supply in the near future. Pre-drilling site investigations, drilling technology, well logging and hydraulic test programs are important subjects related to the exploration phase of developing Geothermal Energy sites. The chemical composition of the natural waters used as a heat transport medium in geothermal systems can be used as an exploration tool, but chemistry is also important during operation of a geothermal power plant because of potential scale formation and corrosion of pipes and installations.

Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks (2002)
by K. Bucher and M. Frey, 7th Edition
Springer-Verlag (ISBN 3-540-43130-6)

Metamorphic rocks make up the largest volume of the Earth. They systematically change their mineralogical composition as a result of tecto-thermal events. The outstanding feature of the 7th edition of this book is the large number of phase diagrams showing the stability relations among minerals and groups of minerals found in metamorphic rocks. The diagrams help to determine the pressure and temperature conditions under which a given collected set of metamorphic rocks may have formed. More than half of the chapters have been completely rewritten or revised. All figures have been edited and improved and recent advances in the field such as multiequilibria thermobarometry and pseudosections were incorporated in the text. The bibliography has been revised and extended, new research publications have also been included. Graduate students will find in depth information on the origin, significance and genesis of metamorphic rocks.

Frontiers in Geofluids (2010)
by B. Yardley et al. (Eds.)
Wiley, ISBN: 978-1-4443-3330-5

Frontiers in Geofluids is a collection of invited papers chosen to highlight recent developments in our understanding of geological fluids in different parts of the Earth, and published to mark the first ten years of publication of the journal Geofluids. The scope of the volume ranges from the fundamental properties of fluids and the phase relationships of fluids encountered in nature, to case studies of the role of fluids in natural processes. New developments in analytical and theoretical approaches to understanding fluid compositions, fluid properties, and geological fluid dynamics across a wide range of environments are included. A recurrent theme of research published in Geofluids is the way in which similar approaches can be applied to geological fluids in very different settings and this is reflected in the diverse range of applications of fluid studies that are included here.
