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.
Climate Change and Geology
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.
Volcano-Sedimentary Interactions in the Tadpatri Formation
This book unravels the interplay between volcanism and sedimentation in ancient India. Drawing on detailed fieldwork, it explores how volcanic activity shaped early crustal evolution, presenting a rare synthesis for geologists, researchers, and students of Earth’s ancient past.
Emergent Collective Dynamics in Fault Systems
Major earthquakes arise not from isolated ruptures but from system-wide preparatory phases within fault networks. This book presents a new framework, identifying detectable processes and reinterpreting seismic laws to advance foundational models for seismic hazard.
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.
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.
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.
