This Proceedings volume contains papers from three symposia which wereheld during the 29th International Geological Congress, Kyoto, Japan, 24August--3 September 1992.
From the first symposium --- ``Metamorphic Reactions: kinetics andmass transfer'' --- 5 papers were selected for publication. One of theobjectives of the symposium was to clarify the nature of reactions andmass transfer from the viewpoint of kinetics.
From the ``Sandstone Petrology in Relation toTectonics''-symposium, 10 papers were selected and revised forinclusion in this book. The articles reflect the different approacheson the relationship between sandstone composition and tectonic setting.
The third symposium in this volume --- ``Evaporite and DesertEnvironment'' consists of 8 selected papers. The papers summarize therelationship between various desertification factors and the dynamics ofdifferent regions, and the classification of these regions according totheir geological and mineralogical factors.
