It was the second IAS Meeting held in Croatia--the first one, 4th IAS Regional Meeting of Sedimentology, was held in Split in 1983. The Meeting in Opatija was organized by the Institute of Geology (Zagreb) and the Croatian Geological Society. The sponsor was Ministry of Science and Technology of the Reoublic of Croatia.     

阴影潜水员

自称“深海沉船潜水员”的美国深海潜水员约翰·查特顿和里奇·科勒于1991年在新泽西州海域深达70米的水下发现了1艘潜艇残骸。经过长达7年的艰苦考证,他们终于证明该残骸是一向被认为1945年在直布罗陀水域沉没的德国“U-869”号潜艇,解开了一个二战历史遗留悬念。美国哥伦比亚广播公司《60分钟Ⅱ》节目记者米卡·布热津斯基对他们进行了专访。     

Mineral Atlas of the World

In 1997 the mineral resources of Europe and neighbouring countries were presented as a printed map and a book of exhaustive information and references. This was the first published map inventory of mineral deposits from all parts of the formerly politically divided Europe (East and West), measured and evaluated according to identical geological and mining standards.

福建省矿物名录

矿物是组成岩浆岩、沉积岩、变质岩和各类矿石(如铁、铜、叶蜡石等)的基本物质单位。世界上3000余种矿物大部分是固态无机矿物,而液态(天然汞)、气态(如氮)以及有机矿物(如琥珀)仅占数十种。矿物是在地质作用过程中形成的天然化合物或单质(如石墨),有相对固定的化学成分,绝大多数属结晶状态。福建境内的地壳历经2.6 Ga的地质演化和多种地质作用,形成种类繁多的矿物,其中新命名的南平石、赤路矿两种新矿物给矿物     

深海呼吸的秘密

长久以来,海洋生物学家就对用肺呼吸的海洋生物的深潜功能与令人惊叹的潜水时间困惑不解,因为这违反了动物的生理学规律。如果能够解释其中所蕴涵的秘密,对人类某些疾病的治疗和预防一定会有着十分重要的借鉴意义。
