Entropy, Seismology and the View of Cosmology
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.
Extreme Events of Air-Sea Interaction
This book explores air-sea interaction, focusing on the Mediterranean and Red Seas. It reveals how anthropogenic activities have had destructive effects, shifting normal processes towards extreme events with severe impacts on our oceans, agriculture, and socioeconomic sectors.
Forensic Explosion Seismology
This book discusses active source seismology, focusing on the technologies and applications for underwater, nuclear, and chemical explosions. It presents seismological investigations for discriminating between earthquakes and man-made explosions for defense sciences.
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.
Green Tribology
Green tribology is a new field addressing global environmental and energy crises. This is the only academic monograph in the world which systematically validates the principles and practice of green tribology, featuring the author’s new concept of natural disaster tribology.
This book challenges traditional consensus on groundwater flow. Revising the theory’s mathematical and physical foundations, it improves analytical equations, debunks myths, and bridges the gap between steady-state and time-dependent calculations from a new perspective.
Handbook of Environmental Impact Assessment
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 presents up-to-date research on climate and land use change impacts on water resources. Illustrated with case studies and mathematical modelling, it provides a concise overview for graduate students, engineers, and researchers in the environmental sciences.
A guide to advanced wastewater treatment. Learn to measure, rank, and remove pollutants using methods like thermophilic digestion to prevent environmental disaster. An essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in environmental protection.

In situ stress is vital for hydrocarbon exploration. This book presents methods for predicting its distribution in complex reservoirs, providing a basis for well placement, fracturing design, and development plans, combining the latest research with practical applications.
Indian Environmental Impact Assessment Practice
This book critically examines the components of Indian EIA practice and highlights the learnings. Using a case study method, it will benefit academics and researchers, and will also be handy to environment ministries, EIA professionals, and project proponents.
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.
This book presents a theory of infrasound propagation in the atmosphere’s fine-scale layered structure. It explains experimental data from pulsed sources by developing a theory of how anisotropic inhomogeneities are formed by internal gravity waves and vortex structures.
The author studies dynamic processes in lithospheric plates, developing a mathematical apparatus based on Laplace and Fourier transforms. This collection of articles is for geophysics researchers and senior students, and is recommended reading for university geodynamics courses.
The dominant theory of plate tectonics fails to fully explain continental deformation. This book explores intracontinental tectonics, classifying orogeny and proposing that global tectonics is a combination of transcontinental, plate, and intracontinental tectonics.
Large Dam and River Dynamics
This book explores fluvial geomorphology and its role in floodplain management. It details quantitative and statistical techniques for analyzing river dynamics and highlights applications in managing land and water resources. For researchers, planners, and policy makers.
Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
This book describes the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in the geosciences. Using a laser to analyze the chemical composition of rocks, soils, and water, LIBS is a powerful tool for on-site analysis, from handheld analyzers to microscale imaging.
Lipid Oxidation Products
This book describes the neglected processes of photooxidation and autoxidation in phototrophs. It details their mechanisms, focusing on oxidation products as tracers, and discusses how temperature and solar irradiance affect them, impacting the ultimate fate of organic matter.
Lost World of Rēkohu
Lost World of Rēkohu explores the extraordinary fossil record of the Chatham Islands. This ancient land was forested with dinosaurs, and its warm waters hosted the largest sea monsters that ever lived—a tale of life in Zealandia never told before.
