  • The Hunt for Earth Gravity

    A History of Gravity Measurement from Galileo to the 21st Century

    by John Milsom ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The author of this history of mankind’s increasingly successful attempts to understand, to measure and to map the Earth’s gravity field (commonly known as ‘little g’ or just ‘g’) has been following in the footsteps of the pioneers, intermittently and with a variety of objectives, for more than fifty years. It is a story that begins with Galileo’s early experiments with pendulums and falling bodies ... Read more

  • Revolutions that Made the Earth

    by Tim Lenton, Andrew Watson ...
    The Earth that sustains us today was born out of a few remarkable, near-catastrophic revolutions, started by biological innovations and marked by global environmental consequences. The revolutions have certain features in common, such as an increase in complexity, energy utilization, and information processing by life. This book describes these revolutions, showing the fundamental interdependence ... Read more

  • Quantitative Seismic Interpretation

    Applying Rock Physics Tools to Reduce Interpretation Risk

    by Per Avseth, Tapan Mukerji, Gary Mavko ...
    Quantitative Seismic Interpretation demonstrates how rock physics can be applied to predict reservoir parameters, such as lithologies and pore fluids, from seismically derived attributes. The authors provide an integrated methodology and practical tools for quantitative interpretation, uncertainty assessment, and characterization of subsurface reservoirs using well-log and seismic data. They ... Read more

  • Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics

    by Adrian Gill ...
    Series Book 30 - International Geophysics
    A systematic, unifying approach to the dynamics of the ocean and atmosphere is given in this book, with emphasis on the larger-scale motions (from a few kilometers to global scale). The foundations of the subject (the equations of state and dynamical equations) are covered in some detail, so that students with training in mathematics should find it a self-contained text. Knowledge of fluid ... Read more

  • Seismic Ground Motion in Large Urban Areas

    Edited by Giuliano F. Panza, Concettina Nunziata, Ivanka Pakaleva ...
    Series series Pageoph Topical Volumes
    The accelerated, and often uncontrolled, growth of the cities has contributed to the ecological transformation of their immediate surroundings. Factors contributing to the urban vulnerability include: lowering or rising of the water table, subsidence, loss of bearing capacity of soil foundations and instability of slopes. Recent catastrophic earthquakes highlight the poor understanding by decision ... Read more

  • Plasma Turbulence in the Solar System

    by Yasuhito Narita ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Dynamics of astrophysical systems is often described by plasma physics, yet understanding the nature of plasma turbulence remains as a challenge in physics in both theories and experiments. This book is an up-to-date summary and review of recent results in research on waves and turbulence in near-Earth space plasma turbulence, obtained by Cluster, the multi-spacecraft mission. Spatial and temporal ... Read more

  • Chemical Processes in Atmospheric Oxidation

    Laboratory Studies of Chemistry Related to Tropospheric Ozone

    Edited by Georges Le Bras ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Oxidation and removal of atmospheric constituents involve complex sequences of reactions which can lead to the production of photo-oxidants such as ozone. In order to understand and model these complex reaction sequences, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of reaction mechanisms and accurate estimates of kinetic parameters for relevant gas-phase atmospheric reactions. This book ... Read more

  • Earthquake Prediction

    Dawn of the New Seismology

    by David Nabhan ...
    Each year the world faces thousands of earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or greater, resulting in devastating property destruction and tragic loss of life. To help avert these catastrophes, scientists have long searched for ways to predict when and where earthquakes will happen. The earth science establishment in the US says that earthquake prediction still lies outside the realm of possibility. But ... Read more
