Description
The second edition of Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes provides a comprehensive guide to the geological processes that result in the formation of mineral deposits. Updated to reflect recent developments in metallogeny and earth system science, this revised account covers global tectonic processes and crustal evolution, which continue to influence economic geology and resource management.
The book focuses on responsible custodianship of natural resources and the need for earth scientists to understand metallogeny and the resource cycle. As concerns around sustainable supply of critical metals grow, this updated edition offers valuable insights into the replenishment of depleted resources and the challenges facing planners in meeting future demands.
