David Sandwell developed this advanced textbook over a period of nearly 30 years for his graduate course at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The book augments the classic textbook Geodynamics by Don Turcotte and Jerry Schubert, presenting more complex and foundational mathem…
Formulating geodynamical model problems: three case studies -- Dimensional and scaling analysis -- Self-similarity and intermediate asymptotics -- Slow viscous flow -- Elasticity and viscoelasticity -- Boundary-layer theory -- Long-wave theories, I: lubrication theory and relate…

"Understanding the combination of magma dynamics and timescales in volcanic systems has a fundamental implication in determining the eruptive behavior of volcanoes undergoing unrest and, more in general, in quantifying the mass fluxes that regulate the evolution of the Earth's m…
This book presents in a concise format a simplified and coherent geological-dynamical history of the Indian subcontinent (including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Southern Tibet and Pakistan). Encompassing a broad array of information related to structure and tectonics, stratig…
Earth science
This set explores the land masses and seas of the world. It describes mountain ranges, the oceans, continental movement, and a wide variety of features that have influenced life on earth.
"This two-volume set describes mountain ranges, the oceans, continental movement, and a wide variety of features that have influenced life on earth. Detailed explorations of the evolution of dinosaurs, fish, birds, plant life and humans, as they were influenced by the earth's su…
A "detailed look at the dynamics of the earth's mass and how its chemistry produces change."--Publisher website.
"Numerical modelling of geodynamic processes was predominantly the domain of high-level mathematicians experienced in numerical and computational techniques. Now, for the first time, students and new researchers in the Earth Sciences can learn the basic theory and applications f…
Until now, numerical modelling of geodynamic processes has been the domain of highly trained mathematicians with long experience of numerical and computational techniques. Now, for the first time, students and new researchers in the Earth Sciences can learn the basic theory and …
