"The Near-Surface Layer of the Ocean provides a comprehensive account of the structure and dynamics of this important component of the ocean. The book develops the relevant physics and thermodynamics in depth. Detailed treatment is given to the surface microlayer, upper-ocean tu…
"The Holocene provides students, researchers and lay-readers with the remarkable story of how the natural world has been transformed since the end of the last Ice Age around 15,000 years ago. This period has witnessed a shift from environmental changes determined by natural forc…
The first book of its kind to address the issues of global change from a true Earth systems perspective, The Earth System offers a solid emphasis on lessons from Earth's history that may guide decision-making in the future. The authors' systems theory approach looks holisticall…

Efficient and equitable policies for managing disaster risks and adapting to global environmental change are critically dependent on development of robust options supported by integrated modeling. The book is based on research and state-of-the art models developed at IIASA (Inte…
The field of Luminescence Dating has reached a level of maturity. Both research and applications from all fields of archaeological science, from archaeological materials to anthropology and geoarchaeology, now routinely employ luminescence dating. The advent of optically stimula…
Ideas and concepts in sedimentology are changing rapidly, but field work and data collection remain the basis of the science. This is a guide to the recognition and description of sedimentary rocks in the field. It aims to help the geologist know what to observe and record, and …
The advent of radionuclide methods in geochronology has revolutionized our understanding of modern sedimentary processes in aquatic systems. This book examines the principles of the method and its use as a quantitative tool in marine geology, with emphasis on the Pb-210 method. …
This Atlas presents records of climatic variability and change in Europe starting before 1901 and focuses especially on trends of extreme temperatures and precipitation. The authors have used software developed within EMULATE (European and North Atlantic daily to MULtidecadal cl…
This book offers practical advice and useful tips on design and construction of subsurface reservoir models. Includes design elements for rock architecture, petrophysical property modeling, multi-scale data integration, upscaling and uncertainty analysis.
Hydrogeology is the study of the laws governing the movement of subterranean water and its interaction with other components of the hydrological cycle, the mechanical, chemical, and thermal interaction of this water with the porous solid, and the transport of energy, mass, and p…
