Description

Explore the fascinating world of mineral deposits with the revised edition of "Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes." This essential reference book, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2020, offers a comprehensive guide to the complex geological processes that lead to the formation of valuable ore deposits. With 496 pages of in-depth analysis, this book is perfect for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of geology, metallogeny, and economic geology.

This updated second edition incorporates the latest insights into global tectonic processes and crustal evolution, reflecting significant developments in earth system science. Learn about the critical roles these processes play in sustainable resource management and in meeting the ever-changing demand for mineral commodities. Discover how understanding ore-forming processes is crucial for responsibly replenishing depleted natural resources and addressing the challenges posed by the supply of critical metals.

"Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes" covers a diverse range of topics, including magmatic, hydrothermal, and sedimentary ore-forming methods. It provides a thorough exploration of various mineral deposit types, from fossil fuels to supergene ores, and examines the spatial and temporal distribution of these deposits in relation to global tectonics. Featuring examples from world-renowned ore deposits, this book delivers valuable context to its readers, making it an indispensable resource for all earth scientists.

Description:


A comprehensive account of ore-forming processes, revised and updated


The revised second edition of Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes offers a guide to the multiplicity of geological processes that result in the formation of mineral depositsThe second edition has been updated to reflect the most recent developments in the study of metallogeny and earth system science.


This second edition contains new information about global tectonic processes and crustal evolution that continues to influence the practice of economic geology and maintains the supply of natural resources in a responsible and sustainable way. The replenishment of depleted natural resources is becoming more difficult and environmentally challenging. There is also a change in the demand for mineral commodities and the concern around the non-sustainable supply of ˜critical metals™ is now an important consideration for planners of the future. The book puts the focus on the responsible custodianship of natural resources and the continuing need for all earth scientists to understand metallogeny and the resource cycle. This new edition:


Provides an updated guide to the processes involved in the formation of mineral deposits

Offers an overview of magmatic, hydrothermal and sedimentary ore-forming processes

Covers the entire range of mineral deposit types, including the fossil fuels and supergene ores

Relates metallogeny to global tectonics by examining the distribution of mineral deposits in space and time

Contains examples of world famous ore deposits that help to provide context an
