  • Nitrogen Cycling in the North Atlantic Ocean and its Watersheds

    Report of the International SCOPE Nitrogen Project

    Edited by Robert W. Howarth ...
    Human activity has dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle in recent decades. These changes are not evenly distributed around the world; rather, they are greatest in regions of significant industrial and agricultural activity, as the synthesis and use of inorganic fertilizers, cultivation of legumes, burning of fossil fuels, and the simple act of concentrating humans and animals in dense ...

  • Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

    by Virginia H. Dale, Catherine L. Kling, Judith L. Meyer, James Sanders, Holly Stallworth, Thomas Armitage, David Wangsness, Thomas Bianchi, Alan Blumberg, Walter Boynton, Daniel J. Conley, William Crumpton, Mark David, Denis Gilbert, Richard Lowrance, Kyle Mankin, James Opaluch, Hans Paerl, Kenneth Reckhow, Andrew N. Sharpley, Thomas W. Simpson, Clifford S. Snyder, Donelson Wright, Robert W. Howarth ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Since 1985, scientists have been documenting a hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico each year. The hypoxic zone, an area of low dissolved oxygen that cannot s- port marine life, generally manifests itself in the spring. Since marine species either die or ee the hypoxic zone, the spread of hypoxia reduces the available habitat for marine species, which are important for the ecosystem as well as ... Read more

  • Sequence Stratigraphy of the Lower Miocene Moghra Formation in the Qattara Depression, North Western Desert, Egypt

    by Safiya M. Hassan ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The Qattara Depression is part of the Northwestern Desert in Egypt and is home to the second lowest point in Africa at -133 meters below sea level. Therefore, before any projects can be carried out in this area, we must first understand the geology of the land. The present study deals with the high-resolution sequence stratigraphic analysis of the Lower Miocene Moghra Formation outcrops in the ... Read more

  • Weighing the World

    The Quest to Measure the Earth

    by Edwin Danson ...
    At the start of the 18th century there were no maps, anywhere in the world. No one knew, with any certainty, the shape of the earth or what lay beneath its surface. Was it hollow or solid? Were the Andes the highest mountains on the Earth or was it the peak of Tenerife? Was the Earth a perfect sphere or slightly squashed as Sir Isaac Newton prophesized? In Weighing the World, master-surveyor and ... Read more

  • Orogenesis

    The Making of Mountains

    by Michael R. W. Johnson, Simon L. Harley ...
    Orogenesis, the process of mountain building, occurs when two tectonic plates collide – either forcing material upwards to form mountain belts such as the Alps or Himalayas or causing one plate to be subducted below the other, resulting in volcanic mountain chains such as the Andes. Integrating the approaches of structural geology and metamorphism, this book provides an up-to-date overview of ... Read more

  • Seismic Monitoring in Mines

    Edited by A.J. Mendecki ...
    Routine seismic monitoring in mines was introduced over 30 years ago with two main objectives in mind: • immediate location of larger seIsmIC events to guide rescue operations; • prediction of large rockmass instabilities. The first objective was achieved fairly quickly, but with the subsequent development of mine communication systems, its strategic importance has diminished. The very limited ... Read more
