Active geophysical monitoring is an important new method for studying time-evolving structures and states in the tectonically active Earth's lithosphere.
Researchers in the field of exploration geophysics have developed new methods for the acquisition, processing and interpretation of gravity and magnetic data, based on detailed investigations of bore wells around the globe.
Den Ansatz der klassischen Historischen Geologie aufgreifend, fokussieren die Autoren in diesem neukonzipierten Lehrbuch auf die biogenen und nicht-biogenen Prozesse der Erdentwicklung.
This timely study is concerned with the current record of sea-level changes during the past 10,000 years; their rates, and our ability to estimate these changes accurately.
In trying to discover as much as possible about the marine environment, oceanography has split into many subdisciplines, each represented by innumerable publications.
The 20th Liege Colloquium was particularly well attended and these proceedings demonstrate the significant progress achieved in understanding, modelling, and observing geostrophic and near-geostrophic turbulence.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 19th International Liege Colloquium on Ocean Hydrodynamics, the programme of which focused on the relationships between small-scale mixing and large-scale features, transports and processes.
These proceedings represent the most recent and complete state of the art review of three-dimensional models of the modern generation for the study of marine hydrodynamics and management of the marine system.
The exchange of momentum, heat, moisture, gases (such as CO2 and O2) and salt between the atmosphere and the ocean is a phenomenon of paramount importance for the dynamics of the atmosphere and the ocean.
The Japan and East China seas are both marginal seas, but have different oceanographical features: the former is a deep basin filled with polar water but a jet-like current in the upper layer, and the latter is a wide continental shelf with two large rivers.
A practical book for those engaged in marine surveying and charting activities who must acquire, process and present data for hydrographic or engineering purposes.
This book provides a thorough treatment of both theoretical and observational aspects of the interaction between the sea-floor and the near-sea-floor dynamics; the effect this has on the distribution of internal and seabed stress; and the relevance of the associated dynamics to sedimentation processes.
