  • Hydrodynamics of Wave-Vegetation Interactions

    by V Sriram, Thorsten Stoesser, Shiqiang Yan ...
    Series Book 14 - Advances in Coastal and Ocean Engineering
    Free-surface flow (or wave) interaction with vegetation is a complex subject. In order to understand the underlying physical processes either physical experiments or numerical simulations, or ideally in complement, can be employed. Both approaches face lots of challenges. For example in experiments, the research question is how to scale-down appropriately the large-scale physics and how to ... Read more

  • Plates vs Plumes

    A Geological Controversy

    by Gillian R. Foulger ...
    Since the advent of the mantle plume hypothesis in 1971, scientists have been faced with the problem that its predictions are not confirmed by observation. For thirty years, the usual reaction has been to adapt the hypothesis in numerous ways. As a result, the multitude of current plume variants now amounts to an unfalsifiable hypothesis.In the early 21st century demand became relentless for a ... Read more

  • Paleoclimates

    Understanding Climate Change Past and Present

    by Thomas Cronin ...
    The field of paleoclimatology relies on physical, chemical, and biological proxies of past climate changes that have been preserved in natural archives such as glacial ice, tree rings, sediments, corals, and speleothems. Paleoclimate archives obtained through field investigations, ocean sediment coring expeditions, ice sheet coring programs, and other projects allow scientists to reconstruct ... Read more

  • Volcano-Tectonic Processes

    by Valerio Acocella ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Volcanoes have terrified and, at the same time, fascinated civilizations for thousands of years. Many aspects of volcanoes, most notably the eruptive processes and the compositional variations of magma, have been widely investigated for several decades and today constitute the core of any volcanology textbook. Nevertheless, in the last two decades, boosted by the availability of volcano monitoring ... Read more
