GEOLOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF MANGANESE Edited by I. M. VARENTSOV and GY. GRASSELLY This monograph contains the proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on the Geology and Geochemistry of Manganese, organized by the IAGOD Commission on Manganese and the Working Group of the IGCP Project No. Ill, within the frame­work of the 25th IGC, 1976, Sydney. The papers reflect a high level of knowledge and by making a wealth of information accessible to geologists interested in this field of research, may stimulate further progress. Volume 1 deals with general problems of the mineralogy and geochemistry of manganese, throwing new light on different questions on the basis of modern instrumental investiga­tions. Volume 2 offers a survey of the latest results concerning the geology and genesis of man­ganese deposits of different types as e.g. those of Australia, Brazil, Gabon, Hungary, India, Korea, New-Zealand and the Soviet Union. Volume 3 is devoted to the questions of potential sources of manganese in Recent basins, to the formation and distribution of manganese nodules in shallow water basins and on ocean floors as well, and to the role of microorganisms in the formation of manganese nodules.
