Synopsis

The International Association for Mathematical Geology, in conjunc­ tion with the International Geological Congress, sponsored two symposia in Montreal, Canada, September 1972. The first symposium, Random Processes in Geology, consisted of two, half-day sessions and featured ten major papers on various aspects of stochastic models as applied to geologic problems. The invited speakers were selected by the Projects Committee of the IAMG so as to represent a wide spectrum of geologic disciplines. The topics fell naturally into two those dealing with continuous stochastic processes and those concerned with point processes and branch­ ing operations. The program, as presented, was R. A. Reyment Ideal granites and their metasomatic stochastic model, statistical description, and natural A. B. Vistelius (read by G. Lea) The influence of greisenization on the Markovian properties of grain sequences in granitic M. A. Romanova The mechanism of bed formation in a limestone-shale W. Schwarzacher Volcanic eruptions as random F. E. Wickman Statistical geometric similarity in drainage J. S. Smart Length and gradient properties of stochastic M. F. Dacey Application of stochastic point processes to volcanic R. A. Reyment Applications of random process models to the description of spatial distributions of qualitative geologic P. Switzer Sedimentary porous materials as a realization of a stochastic F. W. Preston and J. C. Davis Stochastic process models in W. C. Krumbein. This volume consists of eight of the ten presented papers.
