A synthesis of current knowledge on global extensional tectonics The extension of Earth’s lithosphere occurs at divergent plate boundaries as well as in plate interiors. The geological, geochemical, and sedimentary processes of extension offer insights into topics...
This book describes the widely different concepts that have been developed about the general structure and origin of the Guiana shield during the last one hundred years. A review of the evolution of thoughts about the geological framework of the Guiana Shield shows that...
This book offers a geospatial technology approach to data mining techniques, data analysis, modeling, risk assessment, and visualization, as well as management strategies in many elements of river basin risks.This book investigates cutting-edge techniques based on open...
The book aims to enhance understanding of landslides by focusing on detection, prediction, and monitoring. Recently, the number of significant landslides and the damage they cause has increased globally. Landslides are among the most devastating natural hazards,...
General scientific laws guide and constrain how landscapes evolve, but because local geographical and historical contingencies are so important, there are infinite possible evolutionary pathways and outcomes. Nevertheless, certain patterns, structures, and relationships...
This richly illustrated book provides a regionally focused overview about the landscapes and landforms of France. It is divided into two parts: the first chapters deal with the broad geology and geomorphology in the context of the present geomorphology of France. The...
This book presents the latest advances in mapping the geological structures and modeling the geodynamical and petrological processes in the Hoggar shield and adjacent areas of the northeast West African Craton, which is home to the oldest rocks in Algeria. Its...
Artificial Intelligence in Future Mining explores the latest developments in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in mining and how it will impact the industry's future. The application of data science and artificial intelligence in future mining involves using...
This book presents the most condensed information about the theory of distortion theory developed by N.A. Tissot. It considers some of the issues of this theory to finding the best projections. Various criteria for ideal projections are analyzed. In finding an ideal...
This book is a first in its own way. As a result of more than two years of cooperation with the General Directorate of National Parks, a cave inventory of a national park has been prepared for the first time in Turkey. The amazing canyons, caves, sinkholes, and...
This book provides detailed information on the history, analysis and applications of chlorine and bromine isotope geochemistry.This largely extended 2nd edition has incorporated most research published between 2014 and 2023, and contains also significantly more...
This volume is the second edition to 2022’s Introduction to GNSS Geodesy: Foundations of Precise Positioning Using Global Navigation Satellite Systems. It serves as an important reference to GNSS beginners as well as seasoned enthusiasts. In this updated edition,...
This book provides an introduction to rocky landscapes through carefully selected images from Google Earth, discussing what they show and provides references to the sites portrayed so that readers can go deeper if they wish. Google Earth (GE) is remarkably useful for...
New insights into geologic and tectonic processes in Alaska and northwestern Canada The northwest of the North American continent is geologically dynamic and tectonically active. A network of seismic and geodetic instruments deployed across the region as part of the...
Presents the latest advances in borehole distributed acoustic sensing and diverse applications for subsurface geophysics Borehole geophysics involves measuring, imaging, and monitoring subsurface structures and activities by putting instruments into wellbores....
Studying atmospheric particles from a microscopic perspective Most of what is visible in the atmosphere—such as pollution, dust, haze, fog, and clouds—is due to micrometer- and nanometer-sized aerosol particles. It is important to understand the source, characteristics,...
This advanced undergraduate textbook provides a thoroughly modern overview of plate tectonics and is the perfect resource for a capstone geology course. It presents plate tectonics as a multifaceted, interdisciplinary theory that unites many different geological...
About 80 years ago, it was possible for the first time to confirm what modern science had suggested for centuries: Earth shows its sphericity based on a curved horizon. The following age of space flights opened other opportunities. First, our home planet could be...
Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis: Towards Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience covers recent calls for advances in quantitative tsunami hazard and risk analyses for the synthesis of broad knowledge basis and solid understanding of interdisciplinary...
This book investigates in detail the theory and method of automatically formed mining roadway (AFR). The AFR method utilizes mining pressure and broken expansion characteristics of the collapsed rock mass in the gob to automatically form roadways, which changes the...
