  • - The Underrated Hazard
    af Edward Bryant
    1.798,95 kr.

    Tsunamis are underrated as major hazards, mainly due to the misconceptions that they occur infrequently and happen along some distant shoreline. However, evidence for past great tsunami has recently been discovered along apparently aseismic and protected coastlines, such as those of Australia and Western Europe.

  •  
    2.079,95 kr.

    This is a state-of-the-art interpretive presentation of satellite image data, and analysis of the current state of the world's glaciers. Experts in satellite image analysis of glaciers analyze and interpret the changing nature of glaciers across the globe.

  • - New Geodetic Monitoring Techniques
    af Daniel Dzurisin
    1.215,95 - 1.665,95 kr.

    Describes the techniques used by volcanologists to successfully predict several volcanic eruptions by combining information from various scientific disciplines, including geodetic techniques. This book includes chapters on the developments in the use of the Global Positioning System and Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry techniques.

  • - Volume I: Atmosphere and Oceans
    af Dan Lubin & Robert Masson
    2.448,95 - 3.159,95 kr.

    The most consistent signatures of climate warming have occurred at northern high latitudes (IPCC, 2001), and the potential impacts of a few degrees increase in surface temperature include a reduction in sea ice extent, a positive feedback to climate warming due to lowering of surface albedo, and changes to surface runo?
