Encyclopedia of Geology by
Encyclopedia of Geology is divided into 340 articles, each covering one aspect of geology. The concepts and theory are explained at a level that allows undergraduates and educated lay people to understand them. The reference has been planned and structured to provide the user with a comprehensive coverage of the core knowledge in each area. It will become the reference of choice for today's geologists and beyond.

Western Hemisphere including Antarctica and Australia.
McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of the Geological Sciences by
In-depth, comprehensive coverage of the Earth's solid phase with more than 50% new and revised material. This one-volume Encyclopedia provides a comprehensive treatment of the geological sciences and of the essential materials, processes, compositions, and physical characteristics of the solid part of the Earth's system. It includes both theoretical and practical information on such topics as mineralogy, petrology, historical and surficial geology, geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, and soil science. A vital source of information for professionals, educators, and students, this updated Second Edition includes 520 alphabetically arranged articles, 650 halftones and line drawings, cross-references to related topics, and a 4500-entry analytical index.
A Dictionary of Geology and Earth Sciences by
This leading dictionary - now in its fourth edition - offers wide-ranging and authoritative coverage of the earth sciences and related topics in over 7,500 clear and accessible entries. Coverage includes geology, planetary science, oceanography, palaeontology, mineralogy, and volcanology, as well as climatology, geochemistry, and petrology.
Dictionary of Geology and Mineralogy by
his reference contains around 7000 geological terms, some with multiple definitions. Each definition is identified by the field in which it is primarily used, and an appendix includes SI units, conversion tables, periodic table, and geological time-scale.
Geostatistical Glossary and Multilingual Dictionary by
Geostatistics is a branch of mathematics that deals with the sampling, analysis, interpretation and display of phenomena that fluctuate in space. Although not all geostatistical methods are probabilistic in nature, the most important accomplishments in the field have been in estimation and forecasting, extending probabilistic methods of stochastic processes and time series analysis to the spatial domain. This book gives the only available comprehensive collection of definitions of geostatistical terms.
