Geologic reconstructions

High-resolution methods of substanees investigations allow understand not only strueture of those or that material but may be used more mueh widely in application fields. One of them may be mineralogical-geological reconstructions which get possibility to discover new mineral deposits and new natural raw materials [1],...

A general estimate of the contribution of cross-shore processes to coastline retreat/advance can be obtained by considering geologic reconstructions and associated sediment balances.

Past climates leave their imprint in the geologic record in many ways. For temperature reconstructions, the most widely nsed geochemical method is the measurement of stable isotope ratios. Samples for climate reconstrnction have in common that their isotope composition depends in a sensitive way on the temperature at the time of their formation.

Radioactive isotopes have thus enabled scientists to reconstruct the history of the Earth and its environs over billions of years. But stable isotopes are also an indispensable part of the geoscientist s inventory. In particular, their measurement in the geological record has revolutionized our perception of how the planet s climate system works and how it has changed over time. 

Meteoritics involves the laboratory study of rocks without geologic context. Asteroid spectra provide a means to link some asteroid types to specific meteorite classes. Scientists can use the detailed information obtained from meteorites to reconstruct the chemical...
