Scanning electron microscopy based automated mineralogy (SEM-AM) is a combined
analytical tool initially designed for the characterisation of ores and mineral processing …

Sedimentary rocks contain a unique record of the evolution of the Earth system. Deciphering
this record requires a robust understanding of the identity, origin, composition, and post …

The complexity of unconventional rock systems is expressed both in the compositional
variance of the microstructure and the extensive heterogeneity of the pore space. Visualizing …

Practical and Theoretical Geoarchaeology, Second Edition, provides an invaluable and
vastly updated overview of geoarchaeology and how it can be used effectively in the study of …

The establishment of digital images of cores with multi-mineral components holds the
premise of analyzing the spatial distribution of shale minerals and carrying out numerical …

Wettability is one of the key controlling parameters for multiphase flow in porous media, and
paramount for various geoscience applications. While a general awareness of the …

Segmentation of 3D micro-Computed Tomographic (μ CT) images of rock samples is
essential for further Digital Rock Physics (DRP) analysis, however, conventional methods …

Sedimentary facies in the distal parts of deep‐marine lobes can diverge significantly from
those predicted by classical turbidite models, and sedimentological processes in these …

This book is a comprehensive introduction to the application of geoscience to criminal
investigations. Clearly structured throughout, the text follows a path from the large-scale …

Significant volumes of waste rock are produced in mining operations, particularly in open pit
operations. Waste rock is characterized by a high heterogeneity in their mineralogical …
