Synopsis

Crustal Heat Flow: A Guide to Measurement and Modeling is a handbook for geologists and geophysicists who manipulate thermal data, particularly for petroleum exploration. In theory and with practical examples the book discusses the sources of heat within the crust, describes how to maximise the accuracy of temperature data, covers the measurement of the thermal properties of rocks, and explains a number of maturity indicators. The second part covers a range of thermodynamic models of the lithosphere and shows how these can be used to reconstruct the thermal history of individual sedimentary basins. This book will be regarded as a long-term reference source for professionals and researchers. It will also form the basis of advanced undergraduate and graduate student courses in geology, geophysics, engineering, mining, and environmental science, and will be a valuable text for petroleum industry training schemes.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

G. R. BEARDSMORE is a Research Fellow at the Department of Earth Sciences, Monash University, Australia. Dr Beardsmore received his PhD from Monash in 1996. During his time as a student he was the principal researcher and coordinator of an industry-sponsored programme, Heat Flow Compilations and Thermal Maturation for Petroleum Exploration in NW Australia. After completing his PhD he spent time working with heat flow researchers in China (Changsha Institute of Geotectonics) and the United States (Southern Methodist University). He has published around a dozen papers on heat flow and tectonic evolution and has contributed to chapters in the volumes Applications of Emerging Technologies: Unconventional Methods in Exploration for Petroleum and Natural Gas (1997; ISEM, SMU, Dallas, TX) and Geothermics in Basin Analysis (1999; Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers). Dr Beardsmore is a Member of the Petroleum Exploration Association of Australia (PESA) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU). J. P. CULL is a Professor of Geophysics at the Department of Earth Sciences, Monash University, Australia. After joining the Australian Bureau of Mineral Resources he received an Australian Public Service scholarship leading to the award of a PhD from Oxford University in 1973-75. He was subsequently awarded a French Government Fellowship for Science and Technology concentrating on geothermal studies at BRGM (Orleans). After returning to Australia he was employed by CRA Exploration Pty Ltd as Principal Geophysicist responsible for the application of electrical and EM methods for base metal exploration. He joined the staff of Monash University in 1986 and was responsible for introducing a full range of geophysical coursework options. Professor Cull continues to research in heat flow, geodynamics, electromagnetics, mineral exploration, and geotechnical studies. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (F.AusIMM), a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Energy (F.AIE), a Member of the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysics (ASEG) and a Member of the Environmental and Engineering Geophysics Society (EEGS).
