  • The Mjølnir Impact Event and its Consequences

    Geology and Geophysics of a Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous Marine Impact Event

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The Mjølnir impact structure was recognized in 1993 and included in the Earth Impact Database in 1996, based on the discoveries of unequivocal meteorite impact indicators such as shocked quartz, Ir-enrichments, possible glass remnants, fragments of nickel-rich iron oxides, in addition to the convincing complex crater shape of the structure. This book presents the geological and geophysical history ... Leer más

  • Cratering in Marine Environments and on Ice

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Despite their global importance, little is known about the few existing examples of impacts into marine environments and icy targets. They are among the least understood and studied parts of impact crater geology. The icy impacts are also of great importance in understanding the developments of the outer planets and their satellites such as Mars or Europa. Furthermore, the impact mechanisms, ... Leer más

  • Revolutions that Made the Earth

    The Earth that sustains us today was born out of a few remarkable, near-catastrophic revolutions, started by biological innovations and marked by global environmental consequences. The revolutions have certain features in common, such as an increase in complexity, energy utilization, and information processing by life. This book describes these revolutions, showing the fundamental interdependence ... Leer más

  • Thermal Signatures of Heat Transfer Processes in the Earth’s Crust

    Traducido por C. Newcomb ...
    Series Libro 85 - Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences
    This book deals with the signatures left by geodynamic proceses in the temperature field of the Earth's crust. First, it introduces briefly the established, indirect methods for interpreting the present termperature field and methods for reconstructing the thermal fields of the geological past. Then the spatial and temporal scales that are relevant for heat transport processes are described. This ... Leer más

  • Physical Soil Mechanics

    de Gerd Gudehus ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Soil is matter in its own right. Its nature can be captured by means of monotonous, cyclic and strange attractors. Thus material properties are defined by the asymptotic response of sand- and clay-like samples to imposed deformations and stresses. This serves to validate and calibrate elastoplastic and hypoplastic relations with comparative plots. Extensions capture thermal and seismic activations ... Leer más

  • The Nordic Seas

    Edición de Burton G. Hurdle ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    " ... as soon as one has traversed the greater part of the wild sea, one comes upon such a huge quantity of ice that nowhere in the whole world has the like been known." "This ice is of a wonderful nature. It lies at times quite still, as one would expect, with openings or large fjords in it; but sometimes its movement is so strong and rapid as to equal that of a ship running before the wind, and ...

  • Characterizing Stellar and Exoplanetary Environments

    Edición de Maxim Khodachenko, Helmut Lammer ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this book an international group of specialists discusses studies of exoplanets subjected to extreme stellar radiation and plasma conditions. It is shown that such studies will help us to understand how terrestrial planets and their atmospheres, including the early Venus, Earth and Mars, evolved during the host star’s active early phase. The book presents an analysis of findings from Hubble ... Leer más

  • The Twin Sister Planets Venus and Earth

    Why are they so different?

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book explains how it came to be that Venus and Earth, while very similar in chemical composition, zonation, size and heliocentric distance from the Sun, are very different in surface environmental conditions. It is argued here that these differences can be accounted for by planetoid capture processes and the subsequent evolution of the planet-satellite system. Venus captured a one-half moon ... Leer más

  • Electrifying Atmospheres: Charging, Ionisation and Lightning in the Solar System and Beyond

    de Karen Aplin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Electrical processes take place in all planetary atmospheres. There is evidence for lightning on Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, it is possible on Mars and Titan, and cosmic rays ionise every atmosphere, leading to charged droplets and particles. Controversy surrounds the role of atmospheric electricity in physical climate processes on Earth; here, a comparative approach is employed to ... Leer más
