由我校地质系主任王永焱教授主编的《黄土与第四纪地质》一书,最近已由陕西人民出版社正式出版发行。《黄土与第四纪地质》一书,应用了世界目前较先进的电子镜扫描、磁性地层学等研究手段、综合应用了古生物、岩性、古地磁、热发光及考古学等方面的新资料,对我国的黄土,特别是西北地区黄土层的时代划分、物质来源提供了新的科学依据;提供了大量印刷清晰的电子扫描镜下研究黄土的微结构图象。同时还研究了黄土中丰富的哺乳动物及旧石器时代文化资料;刊载了古人类学上的重大发现——大荔人的初步研究成果。该书内容丰富,资料新颖、图版清晰,文图并茂。所刊载的研究成果丰富了我国在黄土第四纪地质研究方面的内容。特别是扫描电镜下黄土微结构研究,在我国刚刚开始,它必 The book “Loess and Quaternary Geology,” edited by Professor Wang Yongyan, director of the Department of Geology at our school, has recently been officially published by Shaanxi People’s Publishing House. “Loess and Quaternary Geology,” a book, the application of the world’s more advanced electronic scanning, magnetic stratigraphy and other research methods, the integrated application of paleontology, lithology, paleomagnetic, thermal and archaeological aspects of the new information , Provides new scientific basis for the division of time and material source of the loess in China, especially the loess layer in the northwest of China. It provides a large number of microstructural images for studying loess under a clear scanning electron microscope. At the same time also studied the loess rich in mammals and Paleolithic cultural information; published on the ancient anthropological findings - Dali people preliminary research results. The book is rich in content, novel information, a clear plate, illustrated. The published research results have enriched the content of the study of the Quaternary Geology in the Loess Plateau. In particular, under the scanning electron microscopy study of the microstructure of loess, it has just begun in our country
