This text focuses on conservation laws in magnetohydrodynamics, gasdynamics and hydrodynamics. A grasp of new conservation laws is essential in fusion and space plasmas, as well as in geophysical fluid dynamics; they can be used to test numerical codes, or to reveal new aspects …
Dieses Buch vermittelt einen Einstieg in die geophysikalischen Erkundungsmethoden Seismik und Gravimetrie. Es erklärt, wie elastische Wellen und Unterschiede der Gesteinsdichte zur Sichtbarmachung von Strukturen im Untergrund genutzt werden können. Das Kapitel Seismik erläutert …
"This book provides theoretical concepts and applications of fractals and multifractals to a broad range of audiences from various scientific communities, such as petroleum, chemical, civil and environmental engineering, atmospheric research, and hydrology. In the first chapter,…
"The primary purpose of this book is to prepare the ground for coordinated efforts aiming to answer the question: where and when life originated. The appearance of life involves three successive stages: i) the formation of chemical elements and their combination to simple molecu…
Continental Drift: Colliding Continents, Converging Cultures is as much an account of the impressions Western culture made on Constantin Roman as a young researcher from behind the Iron Curtain as a personal history of the developing new science of plate tectonics. The book eluc…
This concise primer introduces the non-specialist reader to the physics of solar energetic particles (SEP) and systematically reviews the evidence for the two main mechanisms which lead to the so-called impulsive and gradual SEP events. More specifically, the timing of the onset…
"Engineering Geophysics connects onshore geotechnical engineering challenges to the geophysical methods which may be applied to solve them. Unknown geological conditions are a risk in construction projects, geophysical information can help to identify those risks. The book answe…

As the Earth's surface deviates from its spherical shape by less than 0.4 percent of its radius and today's satellite missions collect their gravitational and magnetic data on nearly spherical orbits, sphere-oriented mathematical methods and tools play important roles in studyin…
"This work explores and presents the principles of 'surface potential theory for the sphere, ' in addition to those in the Euclidean space R3, and breaks new mathematical ground in dealing generically with potential theoretic aspects of gravitation and geomagnetism. The work cov…
