  • Global Climate Change and Response of Carbon Cycle in the Equatorial Pacific and Indian Oceans and Adjacent Landmasses

    Edited by Hodaka Kawahata, Yoshio A. Awaya ...
    Series Book 73 - Elsevier Oceanography Series
    To understand the global warming mechanism, global mapping of primary production was carried out under the GCMAPS program. The program was concerned with marine and terrestrial environmental changes, which affect carbon cycle on the regional and global scales. On the regional scale, warm phase of ENSO (El Niño / Southern Oscillation) has been shown to affect economic activities in many countries. ... Read more

  • Brave New Arctic

    The Untold Story of the Melting North

    by Mark C. Serreze ...
    Series 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 ... Read more

  • Microseismic Monitoring and Geomechanical Modelling of CO2 Storage in Subsurface Reservoirs

    by James P. Verdon ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This thesis presents an impressive summary of the potential to use passive seismic methods to monitor the sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 in geologic reservoirs. It brings together innovative research in two distinct areas – seismology and geomechanics – and involves both data analysis and numerical modelling. The data come from the Weyburn-Midale project, which is currently the largest Carbon ... Read more

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

    by Anja Rösel ...
    Series 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 ... Read more

    A User's Manual

    by Claudio Vita-Finzi ...
    Series 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 ... Read more
