The Equations of Oceanic Motions
ISBN: 9780521855136 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Modeling and prediction of oceanographic phenomena and climate is based on the integration of dynamic equations. The Equations of Oceanic Motions derives and systematically classifies the most common dynamic equations used in physical oceanography, from large-scale thermohaline circulations to those governing small scale motions and turbulence. After establishing the basic dynamical equations that describe all oceanic motions, Muller then derives approximate equations, emphasizing the assumptions made and physical processes eliminated. He distinguishes between geometric, thermodynamic and...

The Emergence of Numerical Weather Prediction: Richardson's Dream
ISBN: 9780521857291 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Lewis Fry Richardson dreamt that scientific weather prediction would one day become a practical reality. Before his ideas could bear fruit several advances were needed: better understanding of the dynamics of the atmosphere; stable computational algorithms to integrate the equations; regular observations of the free atmosphere; and powerful automatic computer equipment. By 1950 advances in all these fronts were sufficient to permit the first computer forecast to be made. Over the ensuing fifty years progress in numerical weather prediction has been dramatic. Weather prediction and climate...

Earth Surface Processes, Landforms and Sediment Deposits
ISBN: 9780521857802 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 832 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Earth surface processes, landforms and sediment deposits are intimately related. They involve a chain of events from generation of sediment in the source area to erosion and transport through the drainage network, and subsequent deposition. These processes, and the deposits and landforms that they generate, have a fundamental bearing on engineering, environmental and public safety issues, on recovery of economic resources, and our general understanding of Earth history. This unique textbook brings together the traditional disciplines of sedimentology and geomorphology to explain Earth surface...

Application of Cathodoluminescence Imaging to the Study of Sedimentary Rocks
ISBN: 9780521858786 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Minerals in sedimentary rocks emit characteristic visible luminescence called cathodoluminescence (CL) when bombarded by high energy electrons. CL emissions can be displayed as colour images in a cathodoluminescence microscope or as high-resolution monochromatic images in a scanning electron microscope. This provides information not available by other techniques on the provenance of the mineral grains in sedimentary rocks, and insights into diagenetic changes. The book, first published in 2006, begins with an easily understood presentation of the fundamental principles of CL imaging. This is...

Hydrological Modelling in Arid and Semi-Arid Areas
ISBN: 9780521869188 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Arid and semi-arid regions are defined as areas where water is at its most scarce. The hydrological regime in these areas is extreme and highly variable, and they face great pressures to deliver and manage freshwater resources. However, there is no guidance on the decision support tools that are needed to underpin flood and water resource management in arid areas. UNESCO initiated the Global network for Water and Development Information for arid lands (GWADI), and arranged a workshop of the world's leading experts to discuss these issues. This book presents chapters from contributors to the...

Active Tectonics and Alluvial Rivers
ISBN: 9780521890588 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The interactions between tectonic uplift, river erosion and alluvial deposition are fundamental processes which have acted to shape the landscape we see today. These processes are of course ongoing, and are important not only in geomorphology, sedimentology and structural geology, but also hydrology and river engineering. The authors have combined their specialities to bring together evidence and a variety of examples from both field and experimental studies to demonstrate how alluvial rivers are responding to uplift, subsidence and lateral tilting. Such recognition of the nature of river...

Exploring Space, Exploring Earth: New Understanding of the Earth from Space Research
ISBN: 9780521890625 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book describes the impact of space flight on geology and geophysics, beginning with a foreword by Neil Armstrong, which illustrates how the exploration of space has lead us to a far deeper understanding of our own planet. Direct results from Earth-orbital missions include studies of Earth's gravity and magnetic fields. In contrast, the recognition of the economic and biological significance of impact craters on Earth is an indirect consequence of the study of the geology of other planets. The final chapter presents a new theory for the tectonic evolution of the Earth based on comparative...

The Tri-State Tornado: The Story of America's Greatest Tornado Disaster
ISBN: 9780595311880 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "The Tri-State Tornado" is a gripping account of the worst tornado disaster in American history. Claiming 689 lives during a three-hour rampage across Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana on March 18, 1925, the storm had one of the longest uninterrupted paths (219 miles) and one of the widest (up to one mile) of any recorded tornado. Its continuous energy was so extreme that it completely obliterated several small towns in its path. Although the fatality count was nearly that of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, with the exception of meteorologists and residents of the affected area, few had ever...
