Presenting current approaches in observational and computational seismology, this book introduces advanced methods and techniques by means of case studies in earthquake research. Among others these include solving inverse seismologic problems, tomography for structure imaging, characterizing fault damage and healing, seismicity analysis for determining pre-shock moment release, and coupled solid-fluid models.

Diese jahrlich erscheinende Bibliographie dokumentiert das internationale kartographische Schrifttum. Jeder Band verzeichnet weit mehr als 2.000 Monographien und Artikel aus etwa 400 Zeitschriften, die von einem internationalen Mitarbeiterstab analysiert werden. Themen sind u.a. die Geschichte der Kartographie, Personlichkeiten und Institutionen der Kartographie, die Kartenherstellung, Bereiche wie die topographische oder die Atlas-Kartographie, aber auch Blindenkarten, Film- und Bildschirmkarten und die Kartennutzung. Die originalsprachig aufgefuhrten Titel sind durch ein Autorenregister...

Ecosystem Science is a highly interdisciplinary field of global significance. This series - copublished by Higher Education Press (HEP) and De Gruyter Publishers - is devoted to prominent topics in the fundamentals of ecosystem science and its application. The series is targeted to an international audience of scientists and practitioners, while maintaining a strong emphasis on reaching scholars and the general public in China. This will be accomplished by publishing all ESA books in both English and Chinese.

Basin Analysis is an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate text aimed at understanding sedimentary basins as geodynamic entities. The rationale of the book is that knowledge of the basic principles of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere, the dynamics of the mantle, and the functioning of sediment routing systems provides a sound background for studying sedimentary basins, and is a pre-requisite for the exploitation of resources contained in their sedimentary rocks. The third edition incorporates new developments in the burgeoning field of basin analysis while...
