  • Electrifying Atmospheres: Charging, Ionisation and Lightning in the Solar System and Beyond

    de Karen Aplin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Electrical processes take place in all planetary atmospheres. There is evidence for lightning on Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, it is possible on Mars and Titan, and cosmic rays ionise every atmosphere, leading to charged droplets and particles. Controversy surrounds the role of atmospheric electricity in physical climate processes on Earth; here, a comparative approach is employed to ... Leer más

  • On the Shores of Titan's Farthest Sea

    A Scientific Novel

    de Michael Carroll ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Titan is practically a planet in its own right, with a diameter similar to that of Mercury, methane rainstorms, organic soot and ethane seas. All of the most detailed knowledge on the moon's geology, volcanology, meteorology, marine sciences and chemistry are gathered together here to paint a factually accurate hypothetical future of early human colonization on this strange world.The views from ...

  • Noctilucent Clouds

    de Michael Gadsden, Wilfried Schröder ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    An atmospheric phenomenon is considered as 'explained' when we have succeeded in deducing it on the basis of accepted principles of physics. (H. Ertel, Methods and problems of dynamical meteorolo gy,p. l) Until recently, noctilucent clouds were regarded merely as a curious atmos pheric phenomenon, the occurrence of which aroused only limited scientific attention. However, in the last two decades ... Leer más

  • Solar History

    An Introduction

    de Claudio Vita-Finzi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Beyond the four centuries of sunspot observation and the five decades during which artificial satellites have monitored the Sun – that is to say for 99.99999% of the Sun’s existence – our knowledge of solar history depends largely on analogy with kindred main sequence stars, on the outcome of various kinds of modelling, and on indirect measures of solar activity. They include the analysis of lunar ... Leer más

  • Revolutions that Made the Earth

    de Tim Lenton, Andrew Watson ...
    The Earth that sustains us today was born out of a few remarkable, near-catastrophic revolutions, started by biological innovations and marked by global environmental consequences. The revolutions have certain features in common, such as an increase in complexity, energy utilization, and information processing by life. This book describes these revolutions, showing the fundamental interdependence ... Leer más

  • Characterizing Stellar and Exoplanetary Environments

    Edición de Maxim Khodachenko, Helmut Lammer ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this book an international group of specialists discusses studies of exoplanets subjected to extreme stellar radiation and plasma conditions. It is shown that such studies will help us to understand how terrestrial planets and their atmospheres, including the early Venus, Earth and Mars, evolved during the host star’s active early phase. The book presents an analysis of findings from Hubble ... Leer más

  • The Asteroid Impact Connection of Planetary Evolution

    With Special Reference to Large Precambrian and Australian impacts

    de Andrew Y. Glikson ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    When in 1981 Louis and Walter Alvarez, the father and son team, unearthed a tell-tale Iridium-rich sedimentary horizon at the 65 million years-old Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary at Gubbio, Italy, their find heralded a paradigm shift in the study of terrestrial evolution. Since the 1980s the discovery and study of asteroid impact ejecta in the oldest well-preserved terrains of Western Australia and ... Leer más

  • Cratering in Marine Environments and on Ice

    Edición de Henning Dypvik, Mark J. Burchell, Philippe Claeys ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Despite their global importance, little is known about the few existing examples of impacts into marine environments and icy targets. They are among the least understood and studied parts of impact crater geology. The icy impacts are also of great importance in understanding the developments of the outer planets and their satellites such as Mars or Europa. Furthermore, the impact mechanisms, ... Leer más

  • A History of the Solar System

    de Claudio Vita-Finzi ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This well illustrated book presents a compact history of the Solar System from its dusty origins 4,600,000 years ago to the present day. Its primary aim is to show how the planets and their satellites, comets, meteors, interplanetary dust, solar radiation and cosmic rays continually interact, sometimes violently, and it reflects humanity's progress in exploring and interpreting this history.

    A User's Manual

    de 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 ... Leer más
