Un fascinante viaje al pasado remoto de la Tierra para conocer las condiciones que hicieron posible su existencia y los dramáticos cambios que dieron como resultado el planeta que conocemos.
Written for undergraduate students studying coastal geomorphology, this is the complete guide to the processes at work on our coastlines and the features we see in coastal systems across the world.
The proceedings of the 4th Symposium on River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics offers the latest research results concerning quantitative modelling of the interaction of water and sediment and the shapes this interaction makes in rivers, watersheds, estuaries, the coast, the continental shelf and the deep sea.
A comprehensive and practical overview of the state of the science, Soil Quality Standards for Trace Elements: Derivation, Implementation, and Interpretation addresses the derivation of soil quality standards for trace elements and the implementation of these standards within regulatory and risk assessment frameworks.
Recent biodiversity studies, reported here for the first time, have shown that the molluscan fauna of the Gulf of Mexico is far richer and more complex than previously thought.
Multivariate, heterogeneous data has been traditionally analyzed using the "e;one at a time"e; variable approach, often missing the main objective of discovering the relationships among multiple variables and samples.
Jurassic Stratigraphy - Part 1, Volume Nine of the serial Stratigraphy and Timescales, showcases new advances in the field with a collection of engaging chapters.
The Handbook of Cucurbits: Growth, Cultural Practices, and Physiology contains information on cultural practices, nutrition, and physiological processes of cucurbits under both normal and stressful conditions.
Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis: Towards Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience covers recent calls for advances in quantitative tsunami hazard and risk analyses for the synthesis of broad knowledge basis and solid understanding of interdisciplinary fields, spanning seismology, tsunami science, and coastal engineering.
Soil Solarization describes the principles and technology of soil solarization and the use of soil solarization for different crops and cropping systems.
Metallic Mineral Resources: The Critical Components for a Sustainable Earth serves the increasing interest in metal resources, especially the critical and strategic metals which are essential commodities for the green energy transition.
Injuries due to air turbulence has increased recently, therefore there is considerable concern and interest in understanding and detecting it more accurately.
