  • Full-3D Seismic Waveform Inversion

    Theory, Software and Practice

    by En-Jui Lee, Po Chen ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book introduces a methodology for solving the seismic inverse problem using purely numerical solutions built on 3D wave equations and which is free of the approximations or simplifications that are common in classical seismic inversion methodologies and therefore applicable to arbitrary 3D geological media and seismic source models. Source codes provided allow readers to experiment with the ... Read more

  • Involvement of Fluids in Earthquake Ruptures

    Field/Experimental Data and Modeling

    by Teruo Yamashita, Akito Tsutsumi ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book furnishes state-of-the-art knowledge about how earthquake faulting is coupled with fluid flow. The authors describe the theoretical background of modeling of faulting coupled with fluid flow in detail. Field and laboratory evidence to suggest the fluid involvement in earthquake faulting is also carefully explained. All of the provided information constitutes together a basic framework of ...

  • Climate Change Modeling Methodology

    Selected Entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology

    Edited by Philip J. Rasch ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.4°F over the past century, and computer models project that it will rise much more over the next hundred years, with significant impacts on weather, climate, and human society. Many climate scientists attribute these increases to the build up of greenhouse gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels and to the anthropogenic production of short-lived ... Read more

  • Robust Simulation for Mega-Risks

    The Path from Single-Solution to Competitive, Multi-Solution Methods for Mega-Risk Management

    by Craig E. Taylor ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book introduces a new way of analyzing, measuring and thinking about mega-risks, a “paradigm shift” that moves from single-solutions to multiple competitive solutions and strategies. “Robust simulation” is a statistical approach that demonstrates future risk through simulation of a suite of possible answers. To arrive at this point, the book systematically walks through the historical ... Read more

  • Urban Resilience

    A Transformative Approach

    Edited by Yoshiki Yamagata, Hiroshi Maruyama ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book is on urban resilience – how to design and operate cities that can withstand major threats such as natural disasters and economic downturns and how to recover from them. It is a collection of latest research results from two separate but collaborating research groups, namely, researchers in urban design and those on general resilience theory. The book systematically deals with the core ... Read more

  • Natural Disasters, When Will They Reach Me?

    by Isuri Wijesundera, Malka N. Halgamuge, Thrishantha Nanayakkara, Thas Nirmalathas ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The expected time of impact, also known as the mean first passage time (MFPT) to reach failure, is a critical metric in the management of natural disasters. The complexity of the dynamics governing natural disasters lead to stochastic behaviour. This book shows that state transitions of many such systems translate into random walks on their respective state spaces, biased and shaped by ... Read more

  • Spatial Modeling in Natural Sciences and Engineering

    Software Development and Implementation

    by Jürgen Friedrich ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    The author introduces the reader to the creation and implementation of space-related models by applying a learning-by-doing and problem-oriented approach. The required procedural skills are rarely taught at universities and many scientists and engineers struggle to transfer a model into a computer program. The purpose of this book is to fill this gap. It moves from simple to more complex ... Read more

    Edited by Nazzareno Diodato, Gianni Bellocchi ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book describes recent developments in the modeling of hydro-climatological processes in time and space. The topic brings together a wide range of disciplines, such as climatology, hydrology, geomorphology and ecology, with examples of problems and related modeling approaches. Parsimonious hydro-climatological models hold the potential to simulate the combined effects of rainfall intensity and ... Read more

  • Information Quality and Management Accounting

    A Simulation Analysis of Biases in Costing Systems

    by Stephan Leitner ...
    Series series Business and Management (R0)
    One of the main aims of management accounting is to provide managers with accurate information in order to provide a good basis for decision-making. There is evidence that the information provided by management accounting systems (MAS) is distorted and the occurrence of biases in accounting information is widely accepted among users of MAS. At the same time, the intensity and the frequency of use ... Read more
