This book summarizes the latest research on applying nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms with artificial neural networks (ANNs) to solve real-world hydrology problems. Discover novel models for rainfall prediction, water level forecasting, and imputing missing data.
This book covers mineral resource estimation, from classic geometric to modern geostatistical techniques. It includes essential theory, mine planning, international codes, and extensive diagrams. A comprehensive textbook and reference for students and mining geologists.
As sustainability becomes a priority for mining enterprises, operations must meet strict environmental safety provisions. This book highlights the problem of ensuring a future mining engineer’s environmental competence.
Mine Planning for Resource Sustainability
The first of its kind, this book offers a detailed, step-by-step guide to solving mine planning problems. For students and professionals, its integration of spreadsheet modelling allows the reader to analyze meaningful exercises beyond traditional assignments.
Mineral Resources in Iceland
This book honors the Icelandic coal miners who helped their nation survive the World Wars. The first overview of its kind, it covers the history of coal mining in Iceland, from the largest commercial galleries to the small pits used by local farmers.
Iceland’s mineral exploration is a story of gold fever, geology, and geothermal power. This book covers its history, from early settlers to modern discoveries linking geothermal systems to metal deposition, with stories of gold and silver and a chapter on the Faeroe Islands.
This book presents the development and implementation of a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) numerical model for studying the initial spread of oil on a calm sea. The results are in concordance with James Fay’s pioneering predictions for oil slick diameters.
Oceans and Society
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the “Oceans and Society: Blue Planet” initiative, a global effort to coordinate ocean-observing programmes for societal benefit. Readers will learn how ocean observations are integrated and applied to benefit us all.
On the Geology of Syria
Explore the geology of Syria, a highly diverse field for geologists. Located at the meeting point of the Eurasian, African, and Arabic plates, Syria is underlain by the active Dead Sea Fault Zone, making this area of unique interest.
This book discusses the state of the art of OSL dating of Late Quaternary deposits in the Amazonian lowlands. It introduces OSL dating principles, applications, sampling, statistical methods, and techniques adapted for this challenging region.
Paleozoic Rocks of Tunisia
This book offers a thorough examination of the Paleozoic units in southern Tunisia, exploring topics from lithostratigraphy to unconventional petroleum systems. It details key geological features like Ordovician glacial sediments and oil and gas shale in a North African context.
This book provides updated scientific data on the interactions of clay and clay minerals with human health, from topical mud therapy to advanced biomedical applications like clay-drug hybrid materials, drug encapsulation, and the formation of bactericidal surfaces.
Reflecting on our Changing Climate, from Fear to Facts
This book reflects on how “climate change” has become a euphemism for “carbon dioxide emissions.” Focusing solely on CO2 overlooks other complex factors contributing to extreme weather. It argues for a broader view, useful for students, researchers and policy makers.
This book explores the interface between biochemistry and cosmochemistry to understand how life began on Earth and if this process is universal. Told through personal anecdotes, it focuses on amino acids to ask if life could originate and evolve on other worlds.
Smarter Air Pollution Monitoring for Sustainable Cities
Explore the global concern over air pollution and its impact on urban health. Discover smarter monitoring solutions driven by technologies like IoT and AI. This volume provides insights into policy, collaborative initiatives, and the future of sustainable air quality management.
The Ages of the Earth
Considering cosmogonies, theological dogmas, natural philosophy, Deism and the inevitable secularism of the Age of Enlightenment, Álvaro recounts the struggle that the human mind has undertaken, over two millennia, against creationist myths.
The Aravalli Range’s Past, Present and Future Prospects
The Aravalli Mountains’ rich heritage is at a crossroads. Drawing on advanced geospatial technology and field research, this essential guide identifies critical threats and provides a powerful roadmap for sustainable, community-driven conservation.
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 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.
