    The 10 Biggest Dinosaur Discoveries of 2014: An I Know Dino Book

    by Sabrina Ricci ...
    Series series Top 10 Dinosaurs
    “The water is murky. Sand and grit stir it up, making it difficult for the giant predator with the 6-foot-tall sail on his back to see. He lowers his mouth into the water, his high nostrils allowing him to breathe easily while the pits on his snout feel for pressure and sense for fish swimming nearby.Nothing moves, or at least nothing worth attempting to catch. The large theropod—Spinosaurus—wades ... Read more

  • The Evolution Underground

    by Anthony J Martin ...
    Humans have "gone underground" for survival for thousands of years, from underground cities in Turkey to Cold War-era bunkers. But our burrowing roots go back to the very beginnings of animal life on Earth. Many animal lineages alive now—including our own—only survived a cataclysmic meteorite strike 65 million years ago because they went underground.On a grander scale, the chemistry of the planet ...

  • Shallow Geophysical Mass Flows down Arbitrary Topography

    Model Equations in Topography-fitted Coordinates, Numerical Simulation and Back-calculations of Disastrous Events

    by Yih-Chin Tai, Chih-Yu Kuo, Ioana Luca ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Geophysical mass flows, such as landslides, avalanches or debris flows, are frequent mass movement processes in mountain areas and often cause disastrous damage. This book lays a foundation for formulating the depth-averaged equations describing the shallow geophysical mass flows over non-trivial topography. It consists of the detailed derivation of the model equations. The stimulating numerical ... Read more

  • Field Geology of High-Grade Gneiss Terrains

    by Cees W. Passchier, Alfred Kröner, John S. Myers ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
