  • Natural Hazard Uncertainty Assessment

    Modeling and Decision Support

    Series Libro 223 - Geophysical Monograph Series
    Uncertainties are pervasive in natural hazards, and it is crucial to develop robust and meaningful approaches to characterize and communicate uncertainties to inform modeling efforts. In this monograph we provide a broad, cross-disciplinary overview of issues relating to uncertainties faced in natural hazard and risk assessment. We introduce some basic tenets of uncertainty analysis, discuss ... Leer más

  • The Zealandia Drowning Debate

    Did New Zealand Sink Beneath the Waves?

    Series Libro 8 - BWB Texts
    Did the entire New Zealand land mass sink beneath the waves 23 million years ago?Many biologists reject the idea and insist that our native terrestrial fauna can be explained only by the continuous existence of land. But many geologists are now asserting that there is no longer any convincing geological evidence that the New Zealand section of Zealandia remained above the seas surface. But if ... Leer más

    How the Satoumi Concept Harmonizes Human Activity in Coastal Seas with High Productivity and Diversity

    de Tetsuo Yanagi ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The author proposed the satoumi concept, analogous to the satoyama concept on land, as “coastal sea with high biodiversity and productivity in harmony with human interaction” in 1998. The concept for environmental conservation in the coastal seas has been widely accepted and was included in the Japanese national policy of “Strategy for Establishment of an Environmental Nation” in 2007.

  • Geomorphic Analysis of River Systems

    An Approach to Reading the Landscape

    Filling a niche in the geomorphology teaching market, this introductory book is built around a 12 week course in fluvial geomorphology.‘Reading the landscape’ entails making sense of what a riverscape looks like, how it works, how it has evolved over time, and how alterations to one part of a catchment may have secondary consequences elsewhere, over different timeframes. These place-based field ... Leer más

  • SUBTECH ’91

    Back to the Future. Papers presented at a conference organized by the Society for Underwater Technology and held in Aberdeen, UK, November 12–14, 1991

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The concept of using flexible, reelable pipe to transport liquids, gases, and vapours is not a new one. As early as the 1940s a steel braided elastomeric pipeline was developed for the Allied Forces in order to transport fuels to support the Normandy Beacheads. In fact, the longest flexible pipeline ever constructed is likely to be that laid across the English Channel as part of 'Operation Pluto'. ... Leer más

  • X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) in Geoarchaeology

    Edición de M. Steven Shackley ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    Since the 1960s, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), both wavelength and energy-dispersive have served as the workhorse for non-destructive and destructive analyses of archaeological materials. Recently eclipsed by other instrumentation such as LA-ICP-MS, XRF remains the mainstay of non-destructive chemical analyses in archaeology, particularly for volcanic rocks, and most particularly for ...
