Growth, Dissolution and Pattern Formation in Geosystems, Paperback / softback Book

Growth, Dissolution and Pattern Formation in Geosystems Paperback / softback

Edited by B. Jamtveit, P. Meakin

Paperback / softback

Description

This book is the proceedings of the 11th Kongsberg seminar, held at the Norwegian Mining Museum in the city of Kongsberg, about 70 km Southwest of Oslo.

The Kongs­ berg district is known for numerous Permian vein deposits, rich in native silver.

Mining activity in the area lasted for more than 300 years, finally ceasing in 1957.

The first eight Kongsberg seminars, organized by professor Arne Bj0rlykke, now director of the Norwegian Geological Survey, were focused on ore-forming processes.

These seminars have always been a meeting point for people with a variety of geological backgrounds.

Since 1995, the Kongsberg seminars have focussed on geological processes, rather than on specific geological systems, and the selection of invited speakers has been strongly influenced by their interest in the dynamics of geological systems.

In 1995 and 1996, various aspects of fluid flow and transport in rocks, were emphasized.

The first "Kongsberg proceedings" (of the 1995 seminar) published by Chapman and Hall (Jamtveit and Yardley, 1997) contained 17 chapters dealing with a wide range of topics from field based studies of the effects of fluid flow in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks to computer simulations of flow in complex porous and fractured media.

In 1997, the focus was changed to growth, and dissolution processes in geological systems.
