Content: Lacustrine Petroleum Source Rocks is a collection of papers arising from a meeting held at the Geology Society, London, in September 1985. The meeting was organized by the IGCP Project 219, ‘Comparative lacustrine sedimentology in space and time’, and the Petroleum Group of the Geological Society. Organic-rich lacustrine sediments, potential sources of oil and/or gas, represent a group of lacustrine sediments whose interpretation is not only intellectually challenging but whose subsurface prediction, in terms of location, nature and lateral variation, is economically important. The papers in this volume represent an attempt to bring together synthesized concepts, techniques and real examples in order to provide ideas for both interpretation and prediction. Petroleum source rocks deposited in lakes have come more into focus over recent years as petroleum exploration has shifted to new areas and as more detailed analysis of known petroleum provinces has become an exploration necessity. New areas include the multifarious basins of onshore China, for instance as described in this volume by Fu Jiamo et al., Brassell et al., Wang Tieguan et al. and Luo Binjie et al, and the rift basins of Africa (e.g. Sudan: Schull 1984; Frostick et al. 1986). Lacustrine sources of petroleum must also be accounted for in some established petroleum provinces ranging from passive margin sequences, such as offshore Gabon (e.g. Brice et al. 1980), to the North Sea (e.g. Duncan & Hamilton, this volume). Lacustrine source rocks are often unsampled, being among the first deposits of a syn-rift sequence, in which case evidence for...

Content: This book describes the effects of cold climates on the surface of the earth. Using scientific principles, the authors describe the evolution of ground thermal conditions and the origin of natural features such as frost heave, solifluction, slope instabilities, patterned ground, pingos and ice wedges. The thermodynamic conditions accompanying the freezing of water in porous materials are examined and their fundamental role in the ice segregation and frost heave processes is demonstrated in a clear and simple manner. This book concentrates on the analysis of the causes and effects of frozen ground phenomena, rather than on the description of the natural features characteristic of freezing or thawing ground. Its scientific approach provides a basis for geotechnical analyses such as those essential to resource development.
