  • Oceanography from Space

    Revisited

    Edited by Vittorio Barale, J.F.R. Gower, L. Alberotanza ...
    To all those sailors / Who dreamed before us / Of another way to sail the oceans. The dedication of this Volume is meant to recall, and honour, the bold pioneers of ocean exploration, ancient as well as modern. As a marine scientist, dealing with the oceans through the complex tools, ?lters and mechanisms of contemporary research, I have always wondered what it was like, in centuries past, to look ...

  • Ocean Biogeochemistry

    The Role of the Ocean Carbon Cycle in Global Change

    Edited by Michael J.R. Fasham ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere. During the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), has been studying the ocean carbon cycle to quantify and model the biological and physical processes whereby CO2 is pumped from the ocean's surface to the depths of the ocean, where it can remain for hundreds of years. This ... Read more

  • Remote Sensing of the African Seas

    Edited by Vittorio Barale, Martin Gade ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The African Seas include marginal basins of two major oceans, the Atlantic and the Indian, a miniature ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and an infant ocean, the Red Sea. Understanding the wide spectrum of environmental features and processes of such a varied collection of marine and coastal regions requires that in situ observation systems be integrated and actually guided, by the application of ...

    Topographic Maps from Geostatistical Analysis of Satellite Radar Altimeter Data

    by Ute Christina Herzfeld ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Although it is generally understood that the Antarctic Ice Sheet plays a critical role in the changing global system, to date there is a general lack of readily available information on the subject. The Atlas of Antarctica is the first atlas on the seventh continent to be published in 20 years. It contains 145 accurate topographic and elevation maps derived from satellite data (GEOSAT and ERS-1 ... Read more

  • Thermal Signatures of Heat Transfer Processes in the Earth’s Crust

    Translated by C. Newcomb ...
    by Christoph Clauser ...
    Series Book 85 - Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences
    This book deals with the signatures left by geodynamic proceses in the temperature field of the Earth's crust. First, it introduces briefly the established, indirect methods for interpreting the present termperature field and methods for reconstructing the thermal fields of the geological past. Then the spatial and temporal scales that are relevant for heat transport processes are described. This ... Read more

  • InSAR Observations of Ground Deformation

    Application to the Cascades Volcanic Arc

    by Amy Laura Parker ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This doctoral thesis applies measurements of ground deformation from satellite radar using their potential to play a key role in understanding volcanic and magmatic processes throughout the eruption cycle. However, making these measurements is often problematic, and the processes driving ground deformation are commonly poorly understood. These problems are approached in this thesis in the context ...
