![]() | 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. |
![]() | 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 |
Geothermal Energy: from theoretical models to exploration and development (2013) I. Stober & K. Bucher, 8th Edition, ISBN-13: 978-3642133510.
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 (2011) by K. Bucher and R. Grapes, 8th Edition Springer-Verlag (ISBN 978-3-540-74168-8) Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks 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. Part I defines basic principles of metamorphism, introduces metamorphic processes, geologic thermometry and barometry and defines metamorphic grade. Part II presents in a systematic way mineralogical changes and assemblages found in the most common types of metamorphic rocks. The computation of diagrams is based on recent advances in quantitative petrology and geochemistry. An extensive bibliography, including the key contributions and classic papers in the field, make it an invaluable source book for graduate students and professional geologists. | |
