  • Climate and the Oceans

    by Geoffrey K. Vallis ...
    Series series Princeton Primers in Climate
    The oceans exert a vital moderating influence on the Earth's climate system. They provide inertia to the global climate, essentially acting as the pacemaker of climate variability and change, and they provide heat to high latitudes, keeping them habitable. Climate and the Oceans offers a short, self-contained introduction to the subject. This illustrated primer begins by briefly describing the ... Read more

  • Earth System Science

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Tim Lenton ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    When humanity first glimpsed planet Earth from space, the unity of the system that supports humankind entered the popular consciousness. The concept of the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, soil, and rocks operating as a closely interacting system has rapidly gained ground in science. This new field, involving geographers, geologists, biologists, oceanographers, and atmospheric physicists, is ... Read more

  • Dying and Dead Seas Climatic Versus Anthropic Causes

    Edited by Jacques C.J. Nihoul, Peter O. Zavialov, Philip P. Micklin ...
    Series Book 36 - NATO Science Series: IV
    There are incentive indications that the growth of human population, the increasing use and abuse of natural resources combined with climate changes (probably due to anthropic pollution, to some extent) exert a considerable stress on closed (or semi-enclosed) seas and lakes. In many regions of the world, marine and lacustrine hydrosystems are (or have been) the object of severe or fatal ... Read more

    An Environmental Innovation in Coastal Engineering

    Edited by Constantine Goudas, George Katsiaris, Vincent May, Theophanis Karambas ...
    Series Book 7 - Coastal Systems and Continental Margins
    Global warming, melting polar caps, rising sea levels and intensifying wave-current action, factors responsible for the alarming phenomena of coastal erosion on the one hand and adverse environmental impacts and the high cost of 'hard' protection schemes, on the other, have created interest in the detailed examination of the potential and range of applicability of the emerging and promising ...

  • Entropy-Based Parameter Estimation in Hydrology

    by V.P. Singh ...
    Series Book 30 - Water Science and Technology Library
    Since the pioneering work of Shannon in the late 1940's on the development of the theory of entropy and the landmark contributions of Jaynes a decade later leading to the development of the principle of maximum entropy (POME), the concept of entropy has been increasingly applied in a wide spectrum of areas, including chemistry, electronics and communications engineering, data acquisition and ...
