  • Small Scale Processes in Geophysical Fluid Flows

    by Lakshmi H. Kantha, Carol Anne Clayson ...
    Series Book 67 - International Geophysics
    While ocean waves are the most visible example of oceanic mixing processes, this macroscale mixing process represents but one end of the spectrum of mixing processes operating in the ocean. At the scale of a typical phytoplanktoic diatom or larval fish inhabiting these seas, the most important mixing processes occur on the molecular scale - at the scale of turbulence. Physical-biological ... Read more

  • Climate and the Oceans

    by Geoffrey K. Vallis ...
    Series series Princeton Primers in Climate
    The oceans exert a vital moderating influence on the Earth's climate system. They provide inertia to the global climate, essentially acting as the pacemaker of climate variability and change, and they provide heat to high latitudes, keeping them habitable. Climate and the Oceans offers a short, self-contained introduction to the subject. This illustrated primer begins by briefly describing the ... Read more

  • Earth—In the Beginning

    by Eric N. Skousen, Ph.D. ...
    With a background in the physical sciences, Dr. Eric Skousen has produced a stunning account of the creation of the earth from the findings of earth scientists and the teachings of the Lord’s prophets. At last, many unanswered questions about the earth’s creation can be resolved with confidence. For example, how long did it take? Where did it take place? What about evolution, fossils, dinosaurs ...

  • The Anatomy of Life & Energy in Agriculture

    by Arden B. Andersen ...
    The energies in fertilizers and in the cosmos do not often move needles, but they preside over crop production. As this manual makes clear, through learning to tap and use "life-force energy" it is possible to develop food production practices that are both high quality and nondestructive. Dr. Arden B. Andersen begins his work with the premise that 'energy is everything'. Through this axiomatic ... Read more

  • Thermal Signatures of Heat Transfer Processes in the Earth’s Crust

    Translated by C. Newcomb ...
    by Christoph Clauser ...
    Series Book 85 - Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences
    This book deals with the signatures left by geodynamic proceses in the temperature field of the Earth's crust. First, it introduces briefly the established, indirect methods for interpreting the present termperature field and methods for reconstructing the thermal fields of the geological past. Then the spatial and temporal scales that are relevant for heat transport processes are described. This ... Read more

  • Science, Policy and Stakeholders in Water Management

    An Integrated Approach to River Basin Management

    Edited by Geoffrey Gooch, Per Stålnacke ...
    One of the major problems facing practitioners and scientists working with water management is how to integrate knowledge and experiences from scientific, policy and stakeholder perspectives. In this book this science-policy-stakeholder interface (SPSI) is examined both analytically and through the description of practical experiences from river basins in Europe, India and South-East Asia. These ... Read more

  • Dying and Dead Seas Climatic Versus Anthropic Causes

    Edited by Jacques C.J. Nihoul, Peter O. Zavialov, Philip P. Micklin ...
    Series Book 36 - NATO Science Series: IV
    There are incentive indications that the growth of human population, the increasing use and abuse of natural resources combined with climate changes (probably due to anthropic pollution, to some extent) exert a considerable stress on closed (or semi-enclosed) seas and lakes. In many regions of the world, marine and lacustrine hydrosystems are (or have been) the object of severe or fatal ... Read more

  • Animals as Biotechnology

    Ethics, Sustainability and Critical Animal Studies

    by Richard Twine ...
    Series series The Earthscan Science in Society Series
    In Animals as Biotechnology sociologist Richard Twine places the question of human/animal relations at the heart of sustainability and climate change debates. The book is shaped by the emergence of two contradictory trends within our approach to nonhuman animals: the biotechnological turn in animal sciences, which aims to increase the efficiency and profitability of meat and dairy production; and ...
