  • Map Projections

    Cartographic Information Systems

    by Erik W. Grafarend, Rey-Jer You, Rainer Syffus ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    In the context of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) the book offers a timely review of Map Projections. The first chapters are of foundational type. We introduce the mapping from a left Riemann manifold to a right one specified as conformal, equiaerial and equidistant, perspective and geodetic. In particular, the mapping from a Riemann manifold to a Euclidean manifold ("plane") and the design ... Read more

  • Wave Fields in Real Media

    Wave Propagation in Anisotropic, Anelastic, Porous and Electromagnetic Media

    by José M. Carcione ...
    Series Book 38 - Handbook of Geophysical Exploration: Seismic Exploration
    Wave Fields in Real Media examines the differences between an ideal and a real description of wave propagation, where ideal means an elastic (lossless), isotropic and single-phase medium, and real means an anelastic, anisotropic and multi-phase medium. The analysis starts by introducing the relevant stress-strain relation. This relation and the equations of momentum conservation are combined to ... Read more

  • Electronic Distance Measurement

    An Introduction

    by Jean M. Rüeger ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    As the basic principles of EDM instruments have changed little since the third edition of 1990, there was no need for significant changes. This edition differs from its predecessor in that it contains corrections of a number of errors and misprints, totally revised tables in Appendices D, E and F and a new note in Section 2. 4. 3 on the introduction of the new temperature scale in 1990. The author ... Read more

  • Handbook of Satellite Orbits

    From Kepler to GPS

    by Michel Capderou ...
    Fifty years after Sputnik, artificial satellites have become indispensable monitors in many areas, such as economics, meteorology, telecommunications, navigation and remote sensing. The specific orbits are important for the proper functioning of the satellites. This book discusses the great variety of satellite orbits, both in shape (circular to highly elliptical) and properties (geostationary, ... Read more
