Uncover the ancient secrets of the Earth and discover how climate change is reshaping our planet. This book reveals the dynamic relationship between geology and our ever-changing climate, exploring the science behind melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and extreme weather.
Uncover the ancient secrets of the Earth and discover how climate change is reshaping our planet. From the fiery depths of volcanic eruptions to the quiet power of plate tectonics, this book takes you on a journey through time to reveal the dynamic relationship between our planet’s geology and the ever-changing climate. Explore the science behind melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events, and gain a deeper understanding of the complex systems that shape our world. With insights into the past, present, and future, this book provides a comprehensive look at the intersection of geology and climate change, offering a crucial perspective on one of the most pressing issues of our time.
For millennia, Indigenous Australians have engineered the landscape with sophisticated knowledge. This book recognizes their ingenuity, grounded in sustainability and respect, and presents a much-needed challenge to a Western engineering worldview.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges threatening Earth. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this textbook combines the scientific principles of climate change with the Water-Energy-Food-Health (WEFH) Nexus to help develop long-term strategies for the future.
This book deepens the theoretical understanding of mesoscale dynamics with new research results. By integrating theory with practice, it introduces forecast methods for rainstorms and other disastrous weathers. For operational forecasters, researchers, and students.
This book focuses on the physical processes in the World Ocean which regulate natural climate variability. It analyses Atlantic and Indo-Pacific signals and assesses the ocean’s role in the recent hiatus of global warming and the probability of abrupt climate change.
Good EIA reports are crucial for sustainable decision-making, but guidelines on quality are lacking. This book, based on a review of over 150 reports, bridges that gap. It describes the features of a good quality EIA report, with case studies to help professionals prepare them.
This book travels back in time to describe the utilization of materials both familiar and arcane. It explores their practical history in mining, metallurgy and crafts, with evidence from archaeology and geology, portraying the advances that led to modern materials science.
This book proposes a model of the global carbon cycle linking the Earth’s crust and the biosphere. It shows how periodic carbon dioxide injections from colliding tectonic plates control photosynthesis, explaining mass extinctions, “explosions of life,” and oil distribution.
To understand the universe, we must look not to space, but to what is hidden under our feet. Regularities in Earth’s seismicity, revealed by new seismic parameters, lead to a theory of entropy seismology with applications in earthquake prediction and even modern physics.
This book reviews physical oceanography, from its history to its future challenges. It relates the physics of the ocean to topical issues like climate change and ocean forecasting, helping you understand how the ocean fits into the complex system of the global environment.
Geological and seismic activity alters hydrogen and methane flows from the ground, changing the air’s electrical characteristics. This book uses field observations to illustrate how atmospheric-electrical monitoring can be used to solve problems in geophysics.
