This fascinating illustrated journey through deep time is the definitive environmental and human history of this beautiful and little... more...
Nonlinear Internal Waves in Lakes
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99Internal wave dynamics in lakes (and oceans) is an important physical component of geophysical fluid mechanics of 'quiescent' water bodies of the Globe. The formation of internal waves requires seasonal stratification of the water bodies and generation by (primarily) wind forces. Because they propagate in basins of variable depth, a generated... more...
Effective Parameters of Hydrogeological Models
Springer 2012; US$ 39.99Models of geological objects are tools for interpolation and extrapolation of available data in space and time continuously. Real structures of the objects are unknown, and their models and simulated results carry uncertainty which cannot be evaluated in a provable way. The real issue is obtaining effective predictions in a reasonably defined sense.... more...
