Abstract
Data on various properties of rocks, minerals, and other related materials are compiled in an organized format which is predominantly tabular for easy use in comparison and referencing. Volume I includes the following topics: Mineral composition: chemical composition and properties of rocks, minerals and crystals, pore fluids, ores, coal, petroleum, Earth's crust, meteorites; Electrical properties: resistivity and dielectric constants of minerals, dry and wet rocks, sedimentary rock sequences, Earth's interior; Spectroscopic properties: absorption/transmission, reflectance and emission, and spectral characteristics of minerals and rocks in the visible and infrared range. Volume II covers Seismic velocities: compressional and shear wave velocities for rocks, minerals, marine sediments, Earth's crust, ice, variation with fluid saturation, pressure and temperature; Magnetic properties: properties of magnetic minerals and rocks and their variation with different parameters: Engineering properties: factors, test, and properties relating to rock appraisal, characterization, and assessment of hardness, strength, and deformation. Volume III treats these topics: Density of rocks and minerals: includes histograms of density ranges; Elastic constants of minerals: elastic moduli, thermal properties; Inelastic properties: strength and rheology for rocks and minerals, rock mechanics and friction, and stress-strain relations; Radioactivity: decay constants and heat production of isotope systems in geology; Seismic attenuation: in rocks, minerals, and the Earth, with application to oil exploration and terrestrial studies. -- AATA
