The Quaternary Period in the United States
Elsevier Science 2003; US$ 170.00This book reviews advances in understanding of the past ca. two million years of Earth history - the Quaternary Period - in the United States. It begins with sections on ice and water - as glaciers, permafrost, oceans, rivers, lakes, and aquifers. Six chapters are devoted to the high-latitude Pleistocene ice sheets, to mountain glaciations of the... more...
Univariate Time Series in Geosciences
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 189.99Introduces the statistical analysis of geophysical time series. This book also includes a chapter with an introduction to geostatistics. It is also a guide to using "R" for the statistical analysis of time series. more...
Seismic Signatures and Analysis of Reflection Data in Anisotropic Media
Elsevier Science 2001; US$ 200.00Following the breakthrough in the last decade in identifying the key parameters for time and depth imaging in anisotropic media and developing practical methodologies for estimating them from seismic data, this title primarily focuses on the far reaching exploration benefits of anisotropic processing. This volume provides the first comprehensive description... more...
Earth's Oldest Rocks
Elsevier Science 2007; US$ 175.00Earth?s Oldest Rocks provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of early Earth, from planetary accretion through to development of protocratons with depleted lithospheric keels by c. 3.2 Ga, in a series of papers written by over 50 of the world's leading experts. The book is divided into two chapters on early Earth history, ten chapters on... more...
Plate Tectonics
Elsevier Science 1997; US$ 60.95This comprehensive text has established itself over the past 20 years as the definitive work in its fields, presenting a thorough coverage of this key area of structural geology in a way which is ideally suited to advanced undergraduate and masters courses. The thorough coverage means that it is also useful to a wider readership as an up to date survey... more...
Wave Fields in Real Media
Elsevier Science 2001; US$ 190.00This book examines the differences between an ideal and a real description of wave propagation, where ideal means an elastic (lossless), isotropic and single-phase medium, and real means an anelastic, anisotropic and multi-phase medium. The analysis starts by introducing the relevant stress-strain relation. This relation and the equations of momentum... more...
Global Optimization Methods in Geophysical Inversion
Elsevier Science 1995; US$ 275.00One of the major goals of geophysical inversion is to find earth models that explain the geophysical observations. Thus the branch of mathematics known as optimization has found significant use in many geophysical applications. Both local and global optimization methods are used in the estimation of material properties from geophysical data. As the... more...
Geophysics of the Canary Islands
Springer 2007; US$ 99.99Contains the results of a 9 year (1995-2004) investigation of the Canary Islands Exclusive Economic Zone. This work covers areas such as a multibeam survey demonstrating the magnitude of catastrophic failures of the Canary Islands; a comparison of the morphology of the Canary Islands with Hawaii; and more. more...
Geophysical Continua
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 72.00This graduate textbook in geophysics covers aspects of the Earth's interior often treated separately. more...
Historical Seismology
Springer 2008; US$ 189.99Modern seismology has faced new challenges in the study of earthquakes and their physical characteristics. This volume is dedicated to the use of new approaches and presents a state of the art in historical seismology. Selected historical and recent earthquakes are chosen to document and constrain related seismic parameters using updated methodologies... more...
