Evolution Of Earth And Its Climate - Birth, Life And Death Of Earth

by G.V. Chilingarian, N.O. Sorokhtin e O.G. Sorokhtin

145,75€ + 10% CARD

 The book reviews the current physical theory of Earth's global evolution, its origin, structure and composition, the process of Earth's core formation, Earth's energy, and the nature of its tectonomagnetic activity. The book also deals with the origin of the Moon and its influence on our planet's evolution. Based on the integral positions of this theory, the book analyzes the issues of the origin of the hydrosphere and atmosphere, and the conception and evolution of life on Earth. The monograph also reviews the adiabatic theory of the greenhouse effect developed by the authors, and the effects of nitrogen-consuminging bacteria and of periodic changes in the precession angle on its climate. In particular, these effects cause the onset and periodicity of ice ages and a significant climate warming during the periods of supercontinent appearance (like Pangaea in the Mid-Mesozoic). - Challenges current thinking about climate change on the basis of sound geological data- Helps the reader make informed decisions about Earth-process related problems- Challenges the reader to critically analyze both theory and data

Geosciences, Environment And Man

198,75€ + 10% CARD

 Geosciences, Environment and Man has three major objectives, which determine the division in three parts of this volume: I. To consider the main natural geological processes interfering with and therefore threatening the activities of man: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, land movements, floods, wind and coastal risks; main prevention and mitigation measures against these natural hazards are presented. II. To examine the exploitation of earth''s natural resources such as materials, ores and minerals, fossil fuels, water, radioactivity, and the resulting consequences on solid Earth balance and future. III. To assess the hold level reached by the activities of man on planet surface envelopes through agriculture, urbanization, industrialization, and communication; the local to global effects of human influence triggered by recent demographic growth on underground, soils, water and air characters are taken into account. Both deteriorating and beneficial aspects of Earth - the interactions of man are emphasized, as well as mitigation or restoration measures and perspectives.

Climate, Environment, And Society In The Pacific During The Last Millennium

by Patrick D. Nunn

145,75€ + 10% CARD

 The nature of global change in the Pacific Basin is poorly known compared to other parts of the world. Climate, Environment, and Society in the Pacific during the Last Millennium describes the climate changes that occurred in the Pacific during the last millennium and discusses how these changes controlled the broad evolution of human societies, typically filtered by the effects of changing sea level and storminess on food availability and interaction. Covering the entire period since AD 750 in the Pacific, this book describes the influences of climate change on environments and societies during the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age, focusing on the 100-year transition between these - a period of rapid change known as the AD 1300 Event.* Discusses the societal effects of climate and sea-level change, as well as the evidence for externally-driven societal change* Synthsizes how climate change has driven environmental change and societal change in the Pacific Basin* Contains a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the evidence for climate, environmental, and societal change, supported by a full list of references

Adsorption Of Metals By Geomedia Ii - Variables, Mechanisms, And Model Applications

125,88€ + 10% CARD

 Documents the status of adsorption research for a variety of metals by geomedia ranging from individual minerals to sediments and soils. This book examines factors affecting the extent of metal adsorption, including the effects of selected anions, competition among metals, pH, metal concentration, loading and variable metal adsorption capacity.

Mediterranean Climate Variability

152,38€ + 10% CARD

 This multi-authored book provides an updated description of climate variability in the Mediterranean basin, focusing on decadal and centennial time scales and on the results available on the impact of future emission scenarios at regional scale. The authors describs both local physical processes responsible for these variability - such as changes in the surface properties and land use- and globalprocesses - such as changes in the large scale atmospheric circulation associated to global warming, NAO, tropical monsoon and ENSO. Regional climate change issues are also addressed. Mediterranean Climate Variability aims to review the research on this region and to provide at the same time both an introduction and a reference for researchers. It covers topics typical of Climatology, Climate history, Meteorology, Oceanography, Environmental Science but the information here provided would also be useful for research in agriculture, social and economic studies. It is addressed to scientists and students interested in the Mediterranean climate and environment. Some topics have interesting connections to nearby regions: Northern Atlantic, West Africa, central and Eastern Europe. Each chapter will contain a summary meant to provide information to policy makers, researchers from other fields, and in general to a wide audience without a technical expertise on climate.* Provides an updated analysis of the Mediterranean climate features and guidelines for future research* Considers both oceanographic and atmospheric aspects * Analyzes the Mediterranean climate in a global perspective

Global Warming And Global Cooling - Evolution Of Climate On Earth

by G.V. Chilingarian, Leonid F. Khilyuk Ph.D. e O.G. Sorokhtin

159,00€ + 10% CARD

 Presents the theory of the Earth's climate evolution based on universal chemical-physical laws of matter-energy transformation. This book shows how the process of Earth's core separation has led to formation and evolution of the hydrosphere and atmosphere. It investigates the global forces of nature driving the Earth's climate.

Oil Pollution And Its Environmental Impact In The Arabian Gulf Region

172,25€ + 10% CARD

 Situated within the richest oil area in the world, the Arabian Gulf represents a stressed ecosystem with scarce published data and environmental studies.The oil-related activities cause significant damages to different ecosystem components such as coral reefs, algal mats, mangrove and other habitats. In addition to the increasing potential of pollution and its adverse effect on the ecosystem, oil spills and relevant implications can severely affect the main source of desalinated water for the Gulf countries due to their limited water resources. Interest in pollution issues associated with Arabian Gulf has been growing in the last few years. These issues include identification and documentation of the major sources of oil pollution in the Gulf region, evaluation of the analytical methods used to identify the different types of pollutants, review of the recent advances in oil pollution impact treatment and prevention, develop stronger cooperation ties between interested members of the community, and encourage awareness of the oil pollution as a serious environmental problem in the region. This book compiles recent studies addressing the above issues grouped in four categories; monitoring and characterizing oil spills, modeling the fate of pollutants and oil slicks in marine water, environmental effects of oil pollution on the ecosystem components, and combating, prevention and treatment of oil pollution.* Studies oil pollution issues in association with the Arabian Gulf* Compiles recent case studies conducted in the Arabian Gulf* Addresses diverse topics related to pollution issues in the marine water in general and in the Arabian Gulf in particular
