Seismic Wave Propagation and Scattering in the Heterogeneous Earth
Springer 2012; US$ 179.99Seismic waves - generated both by natural earthquakes and by man-made sources - have produced an enormous amount of information about the Earth's interior. In classical seismology, the Earth is modeled as a sequence of uniform horizontal layers (or spherical shells) having different elastic properties and one determines these properties from travel... more...
Midlatitude Ionospheric Dynamics and Disturbances
Wiley 2013; US$ 128.00Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series . Filling the need for a 20-year lag in substantial consideration of the midlatitude ionosphere, this volume focuses on work that takes advantage of GPS and UV imaging from satellites over the past decade, two methods that have profoundly transformed our understanding... more...
Assessing and Managing Earthquake Risk
Springer 2007; US$ 189.99Aims to answer the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the field of earthquake risk assessment and management. This book provides an overview of earthquake emergency plans, and an assessment of the problems and pitfalls of the methods. The accompanying CD-ROM contains full-color versions of figures, which are printed in the book. more...
Heisenberg's Quantum Mechanics
World Scientific Publishing Company 2011; US$ 156.00This book provides a detailed account of quantum theory with a much greater emphasis on the Heisenberg equations of motion and the matrix method. No other texts have come close to discuss quantum theory in terms of depth of coverage. The book features a deeper treatment of the fundamental concepts such as the rules of constructing quantum mechanical... more...
Regional Geology and Tectonics: Phanerozoic Passive Margins, Cratonic Basins and Global Tectonic Maps
Elsevier Science 2012; US$ 209.95Expert petroleum geologists David Roberts and Albert Bally bring you Regional Geology and Tectonics: Phanerozoic Passive Margins, Cratonic Basins and Global Tectonic Maps , volume three in a three-volume series covering Phanerozoic regional geology and tectonics. Its key focus is on both volcanic and non-volcanic passive margins, and the importance... more...
Nonlinear Dynamics and Statistical Theories for Basic Geophysical Flows
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 106.00Geophysical fluid dynamics illustrates the rich interplay between mathematical analysis, nonlinear dynamics, statistical theories, qualitative models and numerical simulations. This self-contained introduction will suit a multi-disciplinary audience ranging from beginning graduate students to senior researchers. It is the first book following this... more...
The Magnetospheric Cusps
Springer 2006; US$ 179.99A collection of papers, which addresses the question "What is the Magnetospheric Cusp?" and its role in the coupling of the solar wind to the magnetosphere as well as its role in the processes of particle transport and energization within the magnetosphere. This book is useful to scientists as well as to those working in research organizations. more...
Advances in High-Pressure Techniques for Geophysical Applications
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 124.95High-pressure mineral physics is a field that is strongly driven by the development of new technology. Fifty years ago, when experimentally achievable pressures were limited to just 25 GPa, little was know about the mineralogy of the Earth's lower mantle. Silicate perovskite, the likely dominant mineral of the deep Earth, was identified only when the... more...
Lectures on Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Oxford University Press 1998; US$ 79.99This text offers an introduction to several topics in theoretical geophysical fluid dynamics, including the theory of large-scale ocean circulation, geostrophic turbulence, and Hamiltonian fluid dynamics. Each chapter is self-contained and can therefore be studied in isolation. more...
