  • The Emerald Planet

    How plants changed Earth's history

    by David Beerling ...
    Series series Oxford Landmark Science
    Plants have profoundly moulded the Earth's climate and the evolutionary trajectory of life. Far from being 'silent witnesses to the passage of time', plants are dynamic components of our world, shaping the environment throughout history as much as that environment has shaped them. In The Emerald Planet, David Beerling puts plants centre stage, revealing the crucial role they have played in driving ... Read more

  • Harvesting the Biosphere

    What We Have Taken from Nature

    by Vaclav Smil ...
    An interdisciplinary and quantitative account of human claims on the biosphere's stores of living matter, from prehistoric hunting to modern energy production.The biosphere—the Earth's thin layer of life—dates from nearly four billion years ago, when the first simple organisms appeared. Many species have exerted enormous influence on the biosphere's character and productivity, but none has ... Read more

  • Chill, A Reassessment of Global Warming Theory

    Does Climate Change Mean the World is Cooling, and If So What Should We Do About It?

    by Peter Taylor ...
    Although the world's climate has undergone many cyclical changes, the phrase 'climate change' has taken on a sinister meaning, implying catastrophe for humanity, ecology and the environment. We are told that we are responsible for this threat, and that we should act immediately to prevent it. But the apparent scientific consensus over the causes and effects of climate change is not what it appears ... Read more

  • The City and the Coming Climate

    Climate Change in the Places We Live

    by Brian Stone, Jr Jr ...
    This book is the first to explore the dramatic amplification of global warming underway in cities and the range of actions that individuals and governments can undertake to slow the pace of warming. A core thesis of the book is that the principal strategy currently advocated to mitigate climate change – the reduction of greenhouse gases – will not prove sufficient to measurably slow the rapid pace ...

  • Evapotranspiration in the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere System

    by Viliam Novak ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Evapotranspiration and its components (evaporation and transpiration) as a process is one of the basic terms of Earth's water balance; its importance is accented by the fact that transpiration is the vital element of the biomass production process. The second important property of evapotranspiration is its extreme consumption of solar energy, thus controlling the temperature of the atmosphere and ... Read more

  • Fractured Vuggy Carbonate Reservoir Simulation

    by Jun Yao, Zhao-Qin Huang ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book solves the open problems in fluid flow modeling through the fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs. Fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs usually have complex pore structures, which contain not only matrix and fractures but also the vugs and cavities. Since the vugs and cavities are irregular in shape and vary in diameter from millimeters to meters, modeling fluid flow through fractured ... Read more

  • Numerical Models in Groundwater Pollution

    by Karel Kovarik ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Mathematical models are the effective tool to solve different tasks predicting pollutant movement. The finite difference method is the oldest, but still remains widely used in hydrogeological practice. However, this method is not very useful to construct the new transport models because it cannot approximate the shape of remediation elements exactly. Therefore the book is concerned with the FEM ...
