  • The Mid-Oceanic Ridges

    Mountains Below Sea Level

    Translated by T. Reimer ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Over the past 20 years, geologists have come to realize that the real object of their studies is the Earth, and that their favorite subjects, whether basalts, earthquakes, or the Tibetan plateau (for example) are only the means to understanding the Earth itself as a complete entity. Geology has thus acquired aglobai perspective. The study of any particular regional problem is only of general ... Read more

  • Towards a Model of Ocean Biogeochemical Processes

    Key biogeochemical events in the ocean take place in less than a second, are studied in experiments lasting a few hours, and determine cycles that last over seasons or even years. Models of the controlling processes thus have to take into account these time scales. This book aims at achieving consensus among these controlling processes at all relevant time scales. It helps understand the global ... Read more
