Estimates of the amount of natural gas available are made within the context of definitions and are subject to revision as definitions change, as additional information becomes available, as resources are consumed, or as undedyiag assumptions are altered. These definitions iaclude proved reserves where the resource is expected to be recoverable and marketable usiag known technology and prices probable reserves where a resource has been identified but not completely characterized and possible or potential gas where estimates are based on the available geological iaformation, historical trends, and previous successes. There are variations ia these definitions throughout the world. 

Historically, the world s petroleum production pattern can be related to geologic, economic, and pohtical factors. In the past, many countries have had large excesses in production capacity, whereas in the 1990s, only countries in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, have, in the short mn, enough excess capacity to expand production of conventional cmde petroleum in any significant manner. In the Middle East, production of petroleum is over five times the region s consumption (see Table 4). On a much smaller scale, Africa produces far more petroleum than it consumes (3.4 times). 

Recent advances in accelerator technology have reduced the cost and size of an RBS instrument to equal to or less than many other analytical instruments, and the development of dedicated RBS systems has resulted in increasing application of the technique, especially in industry, to areas of materials science, chemistry, geology, and biology, and also in the realm of particle physics. However, due to its historical segregation into physics rather than analytical chemistry, RBS still is not as readily available as some other techniques and is often overlooked as an analytical tool.

The nature of human impacts on the Great Lakes relates closely to historical development and land use in the basin which, in turn, relate closely to the geology and physiography of the watershed. The southern part of the basin consists largely of Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks. Land use consists primarily of intense... 

The failure to identify the necessary authigenic silicate phases in sufficient quantities in marine sediments has led oceanographers to consider different approaches. The current models for seawater composition emphasize the dominant role played by the balance between the various inputs and outputs from the ocean. Mass balance calculations have become more important than solubility relationships in explaining oceanic chemistry. The difference between the equilibrium and mass balance points of view is not just a matter of mathematical and chemical formalism. In the equilibrium case, one would expect a very constant composition of the ocean and its sediments over geological time. In the other case, historical variations in the rates of input and removal should be reflected by changes in ocean composition and may be preserved in the sedimentary record. Models that emphasize the role of kinetic and material balance considerations are called kinetic models of seawater. This reasoning was pulled together by Broecker (1971) in a paper called "A kinetic model for the chemical composition of sea water."...

Raw foods were freeze-dried and analyzed for carbon isotopes using mass spectrometry. Cooked foods were prepared following historic recipes, then were freeze-dried prior to analysis. For the trace element analysis, foods (both raw and cooked) were wet ashed using nitric acid in Teflon lined pressure vessels and digested in a CEM Microwave oven. Analysis of Sr, Zn, Fe, Ca and Mg was performed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry in the Department of Geology, University of Calgary.

Now that we have summarized the historical and mathematical background, the objectives, and the limitations of chemical thermodynamics, we will develop the basic postulates upon which its analytic framework is built. In discussing these fundamental postulates, which are essentially concise descriptions based on much experience, we will emphasize at all times their apphcation to chemical, geological, and biological systems. However, first we must define a few of the basic concepts of thermodynamics.

The increased interest in Mo and W due to commodity price increases since 2006 has created a need for a synthesis of information on known deposits and potential exploration environments within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This review is drawn from the historical database of exploration and scientific studies, but it also provides some essential geological information concerning recent exploration developments in Newfoundland. Further information is provided in a recent article by Kerr et al. (2009). Molybdenum mineralization also occurs in Precambrian granites in Labrador, but these deposits presently lie within Inuit lands that are... 

The GSI (Geological Survey of Ireland) and the ERA (Environmental Protection Agency (of Ireland)) embarked upon creating this inventory in 2006 for those waste facilities associated with closed or abandoned metal, industrial mineral and coal mines. The project was completed in early 2009 and is known as the Historic Mine Site - Inventory and Risk Categorization project or HMS for short. 

Cosmochemistry is defined, and its relationship to geochemistry is explained. We describe the historical beginnings of cosmochemistry, and the lines of research that coalesced into the field of cosmochemistry are discussed. We then briefly introduce the tools of cosmochemistry and the datasets that have been produced by these tools. The relationships between cosmochemistry and geochemistry, on the one hand, and astronomy, astrophysics, and geology, on the other, are considered.
