Originally developed by the GSA (Geological Society of America) and published for mineralogists and geologists for outdoor use, this color chart was revised in 2009 at the Munsell Laboratories and reintroduced to the market as a water-resistant chart.The new Munsell Rock Color Chart with 115 color fields is perfect for describing rocks while working in the terrain. These can be medium to fine-grained, but also coarse rocks. For very coarse rock, determining the color of each mineral individually is often required. The Munsell Rock Color Chart was developed to cover the range of minerals most commonly found in rocks, such as feldspar, quartz, mica, and hornblende.Unless it is too coarse, turning the sample or looking at it from a short distance determinecomposited colors of individual minerals. Comparing those with the color chart, the color designation can be documented.This chart contains the 115 Munsell notations necessary for determining rock colors from the color tones: 5R, 10R, 5YR, 10YR, 5Y, 10Y, 5GY, 10GY, 5G, 10G, 5BG, 5B, 5PB, 5P, 5RP, 5YR, 5Y, 5GY, 5G, 5B + nine neutral gray tones.Colors in product photos may differ from those of the original product for technical reasons.Our images are for reference only; you will receive a product of equivalent quality with your purchase.

For environmental engineers, agronomists, biologists, archaeologists, geologists, zoologists, and other scientists. The Munsell Soil Color Charts are a cost-effective way to determine soil types. The book is designed so that soil color determinations can be made quickly and easily outdoors.The classification system, which was developed around the Munsell Color System, is an established and accepted method for assigning soil types. Soil color charts were developed in collaboration with the US Natural Resources Conservation Service.contains 13 wipeable color charts with a total of 443 colors for classifyingsoil and rock colors and their propertiescolors and color codes (Munsell notation) contained are internationally recognizedcan also be used to determine the color of other natural productscolor areas approx. 12 x 15 mmcolor name and soil structure diagramsopenings between color chips facilitate easy viewingsupplied in a folder approx. 15.5 x 20 cmexplanations in EnglishIndividual pages of color charts are not available from the manufacturer!The colors are divided into the following sections: 7 pages, one each with the colors: 10R, 2.5YR, 5YR, 7.5YR, 10YR, 2.5Y, and 5Y2 pages of gumbo, blue and green tones1 page “White Page” with very light and almost neutral colors, Value: 8.5 / 9.0 / 9.5,Chroma: N / 7.5R / 10YR / 2.5Y1 page 10Y and 5GY for sand and desert soils1 page 5R for Australian and Southeast Asian soils1 page 7.5R for tropical and semi-tropical soilsThe backing material of the charts is made of plastic and can be wiped with a damp cloth (do not soak).Colored areas consist of a coat of varnish on special paper and must be protected from heavy soiling and excessive moisture.

This book is written in English.Asteroid impacts, associated with the formation of impact craters, are a fundamental process in the solar system. When planets and their moons were in the process of forming in the protoplanetary disk of the emerging solar system, impacts on their surfaces played an important role. Later they influenced the evolution of the planets as well, just as the impact of large projectiles affected the development of life on Earth.For the past 50 years interplanetary space travel has allowed us to map the crater-strewn surfaces of our neighboring planets in the solar system. On the other hand the current number of global impact craters represents only a fraction of what Earth has experienced in impacts throughout its history. Tectonic activity, erosion and weathering and sedimentation have erased most of this history's traces. What remains is often altered beyond recognition by geologic processes or hidden from our view in the subsurface.Mapping what is still visible on Earth's surface from past impacts was done by satellites in low-Earth orbits. Often our planet's atmosphere with its dense cloud covers and air pollution or lack of illumination by the sun prevented a close observation of Earth's surface. Today we can successfully meet the challenge of mapping with high precision using remote sensing methods developed in recent years.Between 2010 and 2016, the German X-band radar mission TanDEM-X, led and operated by DLR, the German Aerospace Center, created the first high-resolution global digital elevation model of the earth's solid surface. It is based on the method of interferometry, using synthetic aperture radar. We have used this data to create the first topographic atlas of all terrestrial impact craters known today. It provides readers with the basics of the impact process, radar remote sensing in general and the TanDEM-X space mission in particular. It shows Earth's impact craters in more than 200 high-resolution topographic maps, accompanied by geological descriptions and a variety of photographs of these structures. The atlas provides a comprehensive overview for each continent's inventory of impact craters. 2 volumes in slipcase, 608 pages, 435 color illustrations, 205 physical maps.
