  • Seismic Wave Propagation in Non-Homogeneous Elastic Media by Boundary Elements

    by George D. Manolis, Petia S. Dineva, Tsviatko V. Rangelov, Frank Wuttke ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book focuses on the mathematical potential and computational efficiency of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for modeling seismic wave propagation in either continuous or discrete inhomogeneous elastic/viscoelastic, isotropic/anisotropic media containing multiple cavities, cracks, inclusions and surface topography. BEM models may take into account the entire seismic wave path from the seismic ... Read more

  • When Life Nearly Died: The Greatest Mass Extinction of All Time

    The Greatest Mass Extinction of All Time

    by Michael J. Benton ...
    "Michael Benton's splendid book brings back to Earth Science a sense of adventure. . . . It is both a wonderfully good read and a valued reference." —James Lovelock, author of Gaia and Homage to GaiaToday it is common knowledge that the dinosaurs were wiped out by a meteorite impact 65 million years ago that killed half of all species then living. Far less well-known is a much greater catastrophe ... Read more

  • How Nature Works

    the science of self-organized criticality

    by Per Bak ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    and acknowledgments Self-organized criticality is a new way of viewing nature. The basic picture is one where nature is perpetually out of balance, but organized in a poised state-the critical state-where anything can happen within well-defined statistical laws. The aim of the science of self-organized criticality is to yield insight into the fundamental question of why nature is complex, not ... Read more

  • Revolutions that Made the Earth

    by Tim Lenton, Andrew Watson ...
    The Earth that sustains us today was born out of a few remarkable, near-catastrophic revolutions, started by biological innovations and marked by global environmental consequences. The revolutions have certain features in common, such as an increase in complexity, energy utilization, and information processing by life. This book describes these revolutions, showing the fundamental interdependence ... Read more

  • Ocean Biogeochemistry

    The Role of the Ocean Carbon Cycle in Global Change

    Edited by Michael J.R. Fasham ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere. During the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), has been studying the ocean carbon cycle to quantify and model the biological and physical processes whereby CO2 is pumped from the ocean's surface to the depths of the ocean, where it can remain for hundreds of years. This ... Read more

  • Plurigaussian Simulations in Geosciences

    by Margaret Armstrong, Alain Galli, Hélène Beucher, Gaelle Loc'h, Didier Renard, Brigitte Doligez, Remi Eschard, Francois Geffroy ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Simulation is the fastest developing branch in geostatistics, and simulating the facies inside reservoirs and orebodies is the most exciting part of this. Several methods have been developed to do this (sequential indicator simulations, Boolean methods, Markov chains and plurigaussian simulations). This book focuses on the last type of simulation. It presents the theory required to understand the ... Read more
