Multiscale coupling of sun-earth processes
Theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss explains the groundbreaking new scientific advances presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved--and the implications for how it's going to end.
"In the mid-1990s, astronomers made history when they detected three planets orbiting stars in the Milky Way. The planets were nothing like Earth, however: They were giant gas balls like Jupiter or Saturn. More than five hundred planets have been found since then, yet none of th…

Takes a look at the evolution of the solar system, focusing on the earth and what makes it unique from other planets. Utilizes new information learned from space probes and takes into account the theory of plate tectonics.

Science tells us that life elsewhere in the Universe is increasingly likely to be discovered. But in fact the Earth may be a very unusual planet - perhaps the only one like it in the entire visible Universe. In Lucky Planet David Waltham asks why, and comes up with some surprisi…
"The Solid Earth is a general introduction to the study of the physics of the solid Earth, including the workings of both the Earth's surface and its deep interior. The emphasis throughout is on basic physical principles rather than instrumentation or data handling. The second e…
"This acclaimed textbook provides a general introduction to the study of modern physics of the solid Earth, including the workings of both the Earth's surface and its deep interior." "The Solid Earth is a textbook for undergraduate students enrolled in introductory geophysics co…
