Opis

Includes the contributions that arose from the 3rd International Symposium on Fractals and Dynamic Systems in Geosciences, held at Stara Lesna, Slovakia in June, 1997. This title contains various ideas and applications of fractal geometry in such branches of geoscience as engineering geology, the physics of the lithosphere, and climate behavior.
