In this book the authors consider the natural environment as an integrated system and describe a cohesive approach to its modelling and prediction.

Uncertainty for Everyone The one thing that is certain about the world is that the world is uncertain.

Since 1980 a considerable amount of scientific research dealing with geochemical processes in marine sediments has been carried out.

The modem geological sciences are characterized by extraordinarily rapid prog- ress, as well as by the development and application of numerous new and refined methods, most of them handling an enormous amount of data available from all the continents and oceans.

Computerized modeling is a powerful tool to describe the complex interrelations between measured data and the dynamics of sedimentary systems.

EUROPEAN SCHOOl OF CLiMATOlOGY AND NATURAL HAZARDS The training of scientific and technical personnel and the development of highly qualified scientists are, and have always been, among the important concerns of the European Commission.

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.

The book presents short papers of participants of the 10th International Scientific Conference and School for Young Scientists Physical and Mathematical Modeling of Earth and Environment Processes.

Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Processing Algorithms for Nonlinear Oceanic Turbulence and Front Modelling is both a research- and practice-based reference that bridges the gap between the remote sensing field and the dynamic oceanography exploration field.

Ganz schön spannend: das geheime Leben der MeereMonsterwellen, die sich aus dem Nichts auftürmen und sogar Ölplattformen verschlingen; Frachter, die blitzschnell in die Tiefe gerissen werden; Geisterschiffe, Riesenkraken und Seeschlangen – alles nur Seemannsgarn?

Das Plankton ist die am weitesten verbreitete Lebensgemeinschaft der Erde.

Die erste Auflage dieses Buches erschien im Jahre 1917 unter dem Titel "Krauß, Grundzüge der maritimen Meteorologie und Ozeanographie".

Dieses Lehrbuch gibt dem Studenten einen Überblick über alle wichtigen Lebensräume des Meeres: von den Küstengebieten bis hin zur Tiefsee und dem Meeresboden, von den Packeiszonen bis zu den Korallenriffen.

Atoll Island States exist on top of what is perceived to be one of the planet's most vulnerable ecosystems: atolls.

Remote Sensing of the Changing Oceans is a comprehensive account of the basic con-cepts, theories, methods and applications used in ocean satellite remote sensing.

Drawing on the expertise of marine researchers from both the natural and social sciences, this book examines how we, as both scientists and societies, can return to a sustainable co-existence with the ocean and use the tools of transdisciplinarity to bring together the diverse forms of knowledge needed to achieve this important task.
