  • Brave New Arctic

    The Untold Story of the Melting North

    par Mark C. Serreze ...
    Collection series Science Essentials
    An insider account of how researchers unraveled the mystery of the thawing ArcticIn the 1990s, researchers in the Arctic noticed that floating summer sea ice had begun receding. This was accompanied by shifts in ocean circulation and unexpected changes in weather patterns throughout the world. The Arctic's perennially frozen ground, known as permafrost, was warming, and treeless tundra was being ... En savoir plus

  • Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum

    How Humans Took Control of Climate

    par William F. Ruddiman ...
    Collection series Princeton Science Library
    The impact on climate from 200 years of industrial development is an everyday fact of life, but did humankind's active involvement in climate change really begin with the industrial revolution, as commonly believed? Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum has sparked lively scientific debate since it was first published--arguing that humans have actually been changing the climate for some 8,000 years--as a ...

  • Schumann Resonance for Tyros

    Essentials of Global Electromagnetic Resonance in the Earth–Ionosphere Cavity

    par Alexander Nickolaenko, Masashi Hayakawa ...
    Collection series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Schumann resonance has been studied for more than half a century. The field became popular among researchers of the terrestrial environment using natural sources of electromagnetic radiation—lightning strokes, primarily—and now many Schumann observatories have been established around the world. A huge number of publications can be found in the literature, the most recent collection of which was ... En savoir plus

  • Detection of Melt Ponds on Arctic Sea Ice with Optical Satellite Data

    par Anja Rösel ...
    Collection series Law and Criminology (R0)
    The Arctic sea ice is characterized by profound changes caused by surface melting processes and the formation of melt ponds in summer. Melt ponds contribute to the ice-albedo feedback as they reduce the surface albedo of sea ice, and hence accelerate the decay of Arctic sea ice. To quantify the melting of the entire Arctic sea ice, satellite based observations are necessary. Due to different ... En savoir plus

    Heat Flow in the Lithosphere

    par Massimo Verdoya, Vincenzo Pasquale, Paolo Chiozzi ...
    Collection series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    After a brief review of global tectonics and the structure of the crust and upper mantle, the basic relations of conductive heat transport and the rock thermal properties are introduced as well as the various methods for measuring thermal conductivity and heat generation due to the decay of radioactive elements. The authors analyze geothermal flow and the thermal state of the lithosphere and deep ... En savoir plus

  • Arctic Ice Shelves and Ice Islands

    Modifié par Derek Mueller, Luke Copland ...
    Collection series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge of Arctic ice shelves, ice islands and related features. Ice shelves are permanent areas of ice which float on the ocean surface while attached to the coast, and typically occur in very cold environments where perennial sea ice builds up to great thickness, and/or where glaciers flow off the land and are preserved on the ocean ...

  • The Sun

    A User's Manual

    par Claudio Vita-Finzi ...
    Collection series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    bit about hydrogen and helium but my excuse is that they make up the bulk of the visible matter in the Universe. Similarly wavelengths, which, like frequency, can be used to describe the behaviour of different kinds of solar energy from X-rays to radio waves. You do not have to be a geek to appreciate such matters, witness a useful mnemonic for the relationship between wavelength and frequency to ... En savoir plus

  • Geological Storage of CO2 – Long Term Security Aspects

    GEOTECHNOLOGIEN Science Report No. 22

    Modifié par Axel Liebscher, Ute Münch ...
    Collection Livre 22 - Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book explores the industrial use of secure, permanent storage technologies for carbon dioxide (CO2), especially geological CO2 storage. Readers are invited to discover how this greenhouse gas could be spared from permanent release into the atmosphere through storage in deep rock formations. Themes explored here include CO2 reservoir management, caprock formation, bio-chemical processes and ... En savoir plus
