  • Geology of Afar (East Africa)

    by Jacques Varet ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book summarizes the geological knowledge accumulated on Afar in the last 60 years, demonstrating that it is, and will remain, a real “hot spot” for geological and geophysical research. It provides insights into the Earth processes along diverging plate boundaries, the study of both the continental and oceanic lithosphere andunderlying asthenosphere, and margins and transitions including ...

  • Catastrophes and Lesser Calamities

    The causes of mass extinctions

    by Tony Hallam ...
    This is a book about the dramatic periods in the Earth's history called mass extinctions - short periods (by geological standards) when life nearly died out on Earth. The most famous is the mass extinction that happened about 65 million years ago, and that caused the death of the dinosaurs. But that was not the worst mass extinction: that honour goes to the extinction at the end of the Permian ... Read more

  • Four Revolutions in the Earth Sciences

    From Heresy to Truth

    by James Powell ...
    Over the course of the twentieth century, scientists came to accept four counterintuitive yet fundamental facts about the Earth: deep time, continental drift, meteorite impact, and global warming. When first suggested, each proposition violated scientific orthodoxy and was quickly denounced as scientific—and sometimes religious—heresy. Nevertheless, after decades of rejection, scientists came to ... Read more

  • Seismic Events in Glaciers

    by Marek Górski ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The occurrence of seismic events in glaciers has been an issue in the scientific literature since the early 1950s, following the report about icequakes in Baffin Island. Targeted seismological studies were undertaken by the Polish Expedition to Spitsbergen in 1962 and then continued at various glaciers in the Arctic, Antarctic and the Alps. The author of the book has been engaged in the project ... Read more

  • Biogeochemical Transformations in the Baltic Sea

    Observations Through Carbon Dioxide Glasses

    by Bernd Schneider, Jens Daniel Müller ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book provides a comprehensive review of the biogeochemistry in the Baltic Sea. It is based on the fact that biogeochemical processes that are relevant for the ecological state of the Baltic Sea (and other sea areas), are all in some way related to the production and mineralization of organic matter (biomass) and thus are associated with the consumption or release of CO2. The significant ... Read more

  • Evapotranspiration Over Heterogeneous Vegetated Surfaces

    Models and Applications

    by Yuting Yang ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The focus of this work is the development of models to estimate evapotranspiration (ET), investigating the partitioning between soil evaporation and plant transpiration at field and regional scales, and calculating ET over heterogeneous vegetated surfaces. Different algorithms with varying complexities as well as spatial and temporal resolutions are developed to estimate evapotranspiration from ... Read more

  • Why Do Tectonic Plates Crash and Slip? Geology Book for Kids | Children's Earth Sciences Books

    by Baby Professor ...
    Tectonic plates are found deep in the Earth but they affect everything on land and sea. When they crash, new mountains are formed. When they slip, valleys are found. And when all these happen, earthquakes would shake cities and towns. Understanding how tectonic plates work would make it easier for children’s knowledge on geology to grow. ... Read more

  • Radiography in the Earth Sciences and Soil Mechanics

    by E. L. Krinitzsky ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Radiography, the use of penetrating radiation to produce shadow images of the internal structure of materials, has been with us since Roentgen made his discovery of x rays in 1895. However, applications of radiography in the earth sciences and in the related field of soils engineering have, until recent ly, been slow to develop. Bruhl reported optimistically on applications in paleontology as ... Read more
