Microseismic and Infrasound Waves
ISBN: 9783540532934 / Angielski / Miękka / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the early 1950s microseisms, with characteristic amplitudes of several micro- meters, were considered insignificant relative to powerful destructive earthquakes. They were understood to be noise, as natural fluctuations, not carrying any in- formation and distorting recordings on seismograms. Intensive investigations over subsequent decades have shown, however, that microseisins are only a single facet of a huge complex of phenomena comprising cyclone movement over oceans, sea roughness, infrasound, geomagnetic micropulsations, terrestial of these phenomena proved to be confined in time...

Japan Quake: Why Do Humans Live in Dangerous Places?
ISBN: 9781907962349 / Angielski / Miękka / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The natural workings of the Earth often lead to immense human suffering. Is this suffering inevitable? In this book Simon Saint makes the case that it isn't. He considers two events which are typically thought of as 'natural disasters' - the 2008 Boxing Day Tsunami and the current events in Japan (March 2011) - and explains why these events, whilst having natural causes, are actually 'human-made' disasters. The acceptance that these disasters are the results of human actions is useful because it means that humans can act so as to prevent such disasters reoccurring in the future.

Earthquakes Induced by Underground Nuclear Explosions: Environmental and Ecological Problems
ISBN: 9783540601852 / Angielski / Twarda / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume presents different studies carried out on induced seismicity, both from experimental and theoretical viewpoints. Several examples of seismic activity induced by underground nuclear explosions, impoundment of artificial reservoirs, and mining activities are given and discussed. Another important subject which is covered is earthquakes induced by other large earthquakes. Further, tectonic stress release in the immediate vicinity of an underground nuclear explosion is treated. The release produces aftershocks of small magnitude, usually for several weeks, occurring a few kilometers...

On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake occurred off the northeastern coast of Japan, triggering a 50-foot tsunami that crushed everything in its path highways, airports, villages, trains, and buses leaving death and destruction behind, and causing a major radiation leak from five nuclear plants. Hereeighteen writers give us their trenchant observations and emotional responses to...

Seismic Wave Propagation and Scattering in the Heterogeneous Earth: Second Edition
ISBN: 9783642230288 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Seismic waves - generated both by natural earthquakes and by man-made sources - have produced an enormous amount of information about the Earth's interior. In classical seismology, the Earth is modeled as a sequence of uniform horizontal layers (or spherical shells) having different elastic properties and one determines these properties from travel times and dispersion of seismic waves. The Earth, however, is not made of horizontally uniform layers, and classic seismic methods can take large-scale inhomogeneities into account. Smaller-scale irregularities, on the other hand, require other...

Volcanic Eruptions, Tree Rings and Multielemental Chemistry: An Investigation of Dendrochronological Potential for the Absolute Dating of Past Volcani
ISBN: 9781841717623 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Oxbow says: Charlotte Pearson's thesis explores ways of linking volcanic eruptions with dating methods that provide accurate and reliable results. Arguing that tree rings hold important chronological information of environmental chemistry she examines the potential of tree ring chemistry for the interpretation of volcanic episodes. The methodology used, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry, is described and then applied to a series of pilot studies on different wood types from different environments and different eruptions, including some of known date. Finally two case studies from...

Lava Flows and Domes: Emplacement Mechanisms and Hazard Implications
ISBN: 9783642743818 / Angielski / Miękka / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of papers is based on a symposium held in 1987 at the Interna tional Union of Geology and Geodesy Congress in Vancouver, British Colum bia. The Symposium was planned as a follow-up to a session at the 1984 Geo logical Society of America Annual Meeting in Reno, Nevada, which dealt with the emplacement of silicic lava domes. In both cases, emphasis was placed on the physical and mechanical rather than chemical aspects of lava flow. The IUGG Symposium consisted of two lecture sessions, a poster session, and two discussion periods, and had 22 participants. The contributions to...

Plates Vs Plumes: A Geological Controversy
ISBN: 9781405161480 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the advent of the mantle plume hypothesis in 1971, scientists have been faced with the problem that its predictions are not confirmed by observation. For thirty years, the usual reaction has been to adapt the hypothesis in numerous ways. As a result, the multitude of current plume variants now amounts to an unfalsifiable hypothesis.
In the early 21st century demand became relentless for a theory that can explain melting anomalies in a way that fits the observations naturally and is forward-predictive. From this the Plate hypothesis emerged-the exact inverse of the Plume hypothesis....
