This volume examines two issues in mathematical and numerical modelling of flow in unsaturated porous media, discussing spatial discretisation of highly nonlinear permeability coefficient, and large scale flow in heterogeneous porous media of binary stucture.

This book presents seismic events in glaciers. It describes two groups of quakes: typical icequakes and ice vibrations, and also discusses the problem of climate change.

This book presents a study that establishes a set of diagnostic parameters for characterizing the behavior of a geological medium stimulated by external fields and their interactions as a physical basis for developing new methods in exploration geophysics. It describes in detail the investigation methods and instruments (including laboratory, field and borehole devices), and discusses experimental, field and modeling investigations of the interaction of mechanic/electromagnetic fields in reservoir rocks. Lastly, the book also evaluates and the proposed methodology and demonstrates its...

This book indicates the most optimal solutions for the growing civilization problem related to climate change that takes place more and more rapidly on our planet. It is divided into two parts: In the first part, the authors - based on the available analyses and reports on climate change taking place on Earth - present their own point of view in relation to the above issue, while trying to find answers to the following questions:

· Why is it so difficult to admit that humans are responsible for the ongoing climate change?

· Will climate change destroy life on...
