For economic and environmental reasons it is necessary that as much of this waste as possible is recycled instead of being disposed in landfill sites. On average approximately 10 million tonnes of textile waste is currently dumped... more...
Seismic Amplitude Inversion in Reflection Tomography
Elsevier Science 2003; US$ 119.00This is the first book of its kind on seismic amplitude inversion in the context of reflection tomography. The aim of the monograph is to advocate the use of ray-amplitude data, separately or jointly with traveltime data, in reflection seismic tomography. The emphasis of seismic exploration is on imaging techniques, so that seismic section can be... 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...
