Physics of Sedimentology
Kenneth J. Hsn

Springer, 2004

Physics of Sedimentology explains sedimentological processes via the fundamental physics that underlies the actual mechanisms involved. The applicability of fundamental principles, such as Newton's Three Laws of Motion, the Law of Conservation of Energy, the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, and of other physical relations in hydraulics and groundwater hydrology is illustrated by discussions of natural processes which form sediments and ...

The Mediterranean Was a Desert: A Voyage of the Glomar Challenger

2 reviews
Kenneth J. Hsu

Princeton University Press, 1987

4.5 Stars for Virtually Hidden Science, Resolving the Construct of a Separation of Continents
I read the 1987 reprint of the 1983 published, 1982 written book about the science cruise of the Glomar Challenger in the Mediterranean in 1970. Described is the scientists' step by step realization that this sea fell victim to dessication some 5.3 million years ago - and will so once more in some 2 - 3 million years, when the Strait of Gibraltar will get naturally plugged again. Not to speak of ...

Klima macht Geschichte. Menschheitsgeschichte als Abbild der Klimaentwicklung.
Kenneth J. Hsü

Orell Füssli, 2000

Challenger at Sea
Kenneth J. Hsu

Princeton Univ Pr, 1992

A survey of the work of the geological research ship "Glomar Challenger", which played a key role in the plate-tectonics revolution and its challenge to more conventional theories. The author charts the ship's explorations in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Arctic Oceans.

The Great Dying/Cosmic Catastrophe Dinosaurs and the Theory of Evolution

5 reviews
Kenneth J. Hsu

Harcourt, 1986

Fascinating
This is the book that could make a geologist out of me, yet. I read it more than a year ago and, because of it, I have gone onto read more and very serious scientific literature regarding evolution and geology. Hsu is candid, entertaining, clear, convincing, and always educative. His assertion that the theory of evolution has been used to justify racism and racist policies took me by surprise ...

The Geology of Switzerland
Kenneth J. Hsu

Princeton University Press, 1994

Kenneth Hs's previous books have fascinated general audiences and served as accessible texts for students of geology. Here this leading earth scientist relates the study of the Alps to his theory of tectonic facies, thus demonstrating how the plate tectonics model can be used to understand the geology of mountains. Mountain chains have individualities, each one being different from the others, but they also share some common characteristics ...

Pelagic Sediments on Land and Under the Sea, Special Publication of the International Association of ...

Wiley-Blackwell, 1991

This first IAS Special Publication contains the oral presentations from a special symposium on pelagic sediments held in Zurich in 1973. The aim of the symposium was to bring together sea-borne researchers involved with the Deep Sea Drilling Project and land-locked researchers studying ancient sediments. If you are a member of the International Association of Sedimentologists, for purchasing details, please see: ...
