For carbon sequestration the issues of monitoring, risk assessment, and verification of carbon content and storage efficacy are perhaps the most uncertain. Yet these issues are also the most...
Gravity Wave Processes
Their Parameterization in Global Climate Models
Language: English
Release Date: June 29, 2013
The subject of this volume is the observation and modelling of the gravity wave field in the atmosphere. The focus is on the question of how to include the effects of small-scale gravity waves in sophisticated global climate models.

Earth System Monitoring
Selected Entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology
Language: English
Release Date: December 12, 2012
Modern Earth System Monitoring represents a fundamental change in the way scientists study the Earth System. In Oceanography, for the past two centuries, ships have provided the platforms for observing. Expeditions on the continents and Earth’s poles are land-based analogues. Fundamental understanding...
Enhanced Surface Imaging of Crustal Deformation
Obtaining Tectonic Force Fields Using GPS Data
Language: English
Release Date: August 11, 2015
This book takes an in depth look at a novel methodology for analyzing Global Positioning System (GPS) data to obtain the highest possible resolution surface imaging of tectonic deformation sources without prescribing the nature of either the sources or the subsurface medium. GPS methods are widely...

Fluid and Thermodynamics
Volume 3: Structured and Multiphase Fluids
Language: English
Release Date: September 22, 2018
This third volume describes continuous bodies treated as classical (Boltzmann) and spin (Cosserat) continua or fluid mixtures of such bodies. It discusses systems such as Boltzmann continua (with trivial angular momentum) and Cosserat continua (with nontrivial spin balance) and formulates the balance...
