Klappentext zu „Geomicrobiological Properties and Processes of Travertine “
This book presents basic knowledge and key objectives of research of geological, geochemical, and microbial properties and processes in travertines, carbonate deposits precipitated from calcareous hot springs. Much of the contents are based on the authors' researches performed in Japan and Indonesia over the last decade. Travertine is one of the most active sedimentary systems, which have a potential impact on the Earth's environment. It is also an accessible epitome of the Earth's history, cultivating ancestral bacteria and representing a modern analog for ancient stromatolites. Readers can learn how integration of various scopes and methods unveils mysterious phenomena in travertine and can find clues for considering the early history of the Earth and life. This book includes a monographic chapter on Japanese onsens , or hot springs, which may help tourists to select the best places to enjoy the unique features of travertine.

Introduction.- Basic knowledge of geochemical processes.- Sedimentology of travertine.- Methods.- Geomicrobiologial processes for laminated textures.- Geochemical model for rapid carbonate precipitation of travertines.- Travertines in Japan.- Concluding remarks.Autoren-Porträt von Akihiro Kano, Tomoyo Okumura, Chizuru Takashima, Fumito Shiraishi
Professor Akihiro Kano is the head of the Laboratory of Historical Geology in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science, The University of Tokyo. He researched carbonate sedimentology during his master's degree study at Tohoku University and his doctoral study at Stockholm University in 1990. While he was working at Hiroshima University (1990-2008), he did intensive research of the sedimentology and geochemistry of freshwater carbonate deposits, or tufas. He started his research on travertines in 2003, and one of his early studies with Dr. C. Takashima successfully revealed that travertine lamination occurred daily. His appointment at Kyushu University in 2008 activated his travertine studies on the island of Kyushu, where a number of hydrothermal sites produce travertine. He moved to The University of Tokyo in December 2016. In addition to travertines and tufas, he is currently working with projects on stalagmite paleoclimatology, gas hydrates in the Japan Sea, and Ediacaran carbonate deposits in China and Brazil.
