As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the sound use of our land and water resources; protecting our fish, wildlife, and biological diversity; preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places; and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interests of all our people by encouraging stewardship and citizen participation in their care. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in island territories under U.S. administration. <...>
I have been teaching Structural Geology and Tectonics for the past four decades and during this period, I always felt a need for a glossary or definitional dictionary devoted to this branch. I therefory, made an attempt in this direction. The editor for while doing the groundwork of the book made use of Glossary of Geology edited by R. Bates & J. Jackson (Am. Geo!. Inst., 1980); Glossary of Geology in Hindi edited by myself (CSTT Govt. of India 1996); Introduction to the structure of the earth by E. Spencer; Tectonic Geology by myself (2006); Geology: an Introduction by myself (2004).
All terms listed in this Glossary have appeared in English-language publications or other writings in English and generally reflect NorthAmerican usage, unless otherwise noted. Many obsolete terms have been retained, as they remain valuable to readers using the older literature. Besides giving the current or preferred meaning of a term, some definitions include information on original usage or historical development
Палеогеографический словарь составлен доктором географических наук профессором Л. И. Маруашвили. Это терминологический справочник, охватывающий широкий и разнообразный круг вопросов и содержащий объяснение около 7 тысяч терминов и специальных выражений.
The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Earth Science provides a compendium of more than 10,000 terms that are central to the broad range of disciplines comprising earth science. The coverage in this Second Edition is focused on the areas of climatology, geochemistry, geodesy, geography, geology, geophysics, hydrology, meteorology, and oceanography, with new terms added and others revised as necessary.
Словарь содержит около 30 000 словарных статей и сокращений по всем основным разделам гидрологии суши: гидрографии, гидрологическим расчётам, гидрологическим прогнозам, гидрометрии, гидрофизике, гидрохимии, а также ряду смежных дисциплин: географии, гидравлике, гидродинамике, гляциологии, метеорологии, озероведению.
In preparing this new edition of our Dictionary of Geology and Earth Sciences I have changed the emphasis very slightly by increasing the number of entries for terms that are directly geological. The new title reflects this minor revision. At the same time, however, I have found it necessary to add more entries describing satellite missions and planetary discoveries. I have also added a new Appendix, listing web addresses for all the satellite missions described in dictionary entries.
Inevitably, the dictionary has grown a little longer. That is the way of dictionaries. New terms emerge, but old ones take a long time to die and disappear from the vocabulary. As with the third edition, I have worked alone. I have scrutinized every entry and made many small changes where I thought I could improve the clarity of definitions. If, inadvertently, I have introduced any errors, or failed to spot and remove earlier errors, I have no one to blame but myself. If you find a mistake I will be grateful if you draw it to my attention. You can contact me through my website.
If you are meeting the dictionary for the first time, I hope you find it helpful.
В него включены термины и по почвоведению в связи с осуществлением на ГГФ дисциплин: "География почв и основы почвоведения", "Методы исследования почв". Знание геологических терминов необходимо и студентам 1 курса БИ специальности "Почвоведение" при изучении "Общей геологии". Словарь содержит около 700 терминов. Термины, используемые при чтении лекций по основам геологии и проведении лабораторных занятий и первой полевой практики, расположены в алфавитном порядке с кратким пояснением их содержания. Сложные термины, состоящие из нескольких слов, как правило, начинаются с имени существительного. Словарь предназначен для студентов первого курса очного и заочного обучения ГГФ и БИ, но им могут пользоваться при необходимости студенты старших курсов и лица, не имеющие специального геологического образования.
Over the decades since the first edition of our dictionary was published, satellite observations of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere have grown increasingly important and increasingly valuable to geologists and Earth scientists. There are now so many satellites in orbit above us that it would be impossible to describe them all in a volume of this size. Nevertheless, I have done my best by adding a substantial number of new satellite entries, and in many cases links to web sites, describing those that seem to me the most relevant and interesting. I have also updated many of the entries for stages. Again, it would be impractical to include all the stage names from every part of the world, but I have added quite a number. I hope you find the dictionary useful and its entries clear.
