Carpenter, Christopher M. Keane or more than 40 years, AGI’s Data F Sheets have been a critical tool for the geoscientist in the field, the lab, and the classroom. For decades its bright orange cover and three-ring binding were distinc- tive in the geoscience community. The book evolved into its current, full-color and spiral bound format with the 2005 debut of the fourth edition. Now AGI has tapped some of the best minds in the geosciences to produce this fifth edition. Featuring the contributions of THE GEOSCIENCE over 240 experts worldwide in their respec- tive fields, this new, expanded edition is HANDBOOK 2016 over 470 full-color pages. Three years of AGI Data Sheets, Fifth Edition work went into the Handbook to broaden Compiled by Mark B. Carpenter its scope across the disciplines. With more Christopher M.
