    Book SynopsisThis work, written in an understandable way for the interested layperson, introduces into the unknown world of the CO 2 gas volcanoes, the so-called mofettes. A little explored world that lets animals die in the middle of Europe, changes the flora, influences soils and the atmosphere and can provide clues for upcoming volcanic eruptions. With the help of the botanical bioindication, such degassing points can also be found in the field and even used economically, e.g. in mineral water and fire extinguishers, for the preservation of food and for the healing of heart and skin diseases. In this biological-geological mofette guide, Prof. Hardy Pfanz explains where such phenomena can be found in Germany, but also worldwide, and what they tell us. He also reveals - with a wink - one or the other extraordinary and legendary thing about mofettes. Table of Contents1. Introduction2. Igneous, volcanic and other geogenic gas exhalations3. Mofettes4. Geological and volcanological fundamentals5. Carbon dioxide - carbon dioxide - the parameter for mofettes6. Mofette habitat7. Bacteria and fungi8. Animals9. Mofettes and climate10.

  • Structured Dependence between Stochastic

    Cambridge University Press Structured Dependence between Stochastic

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe relatively young theory of structured dependence between stochastic processes has many real-life applications in areas including finance, insurance, seismology, neuroscience, and genetics. With this monograph, the first to be devoted to the modeling of structured dependence between random processes, the authors not only meet the demand for a solid theoretical account but also develop a stochastic processes counterpart of the classical copula theory that exists for finite-dimensional random variables. Presenting both the technical aspects and the applications of the theory, this is a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the field, as well as for graduate students in pure and applied mathematics programs. Numerous theoretical examples are included, alongside examples of both current and potential applications, aimed at helping those who need to model structured dependence between dynamic random phenomena.Trade Review'This is a timely book on an important topic, and it is well written.'

    Book SynopsisMount Vesuvius has been famous ever since its eruption in 79 CE, when it destroyed and buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. In this title, the author argues that this investigation and engagement with Vesuvius was paramount to the development of modern volcanology.Trade Review"Watching Vesuvius explores the question of Vesuvius as an object of study in the early modern science of volcanism from the investigations and opinions of humanists and naturalists in the late Renaissance to the early eighteenth-century philosophizing on volcanoes and the development of geology later in the century. Around this history of science, Sean Cocco weaves a deep cultural history of the relationship between nature and culture in the theories and practices of the peoples in the city of Naples." (John A.

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisSubduction dynamics has been actively studied through seismology, mineral physics, and laboratory and numerical experiments.Understanding the dynamics of the subducting slab is critical to a better understanding of the primary societally relevant natural hazards emerging from our planetary interior, the megathrust earthquakes and consequent tsunamis. Subduction Dynamics is the result of a meeting that was held between August 19 and 22, 2012 on Jeju island, South Korea, where about fifty researchers from East Asia, North America and Europe met. Chapters treat diverse topics ranging from the response of the ionosphere to earthquake and tsunamis, to the origin of mid-continental volcanism thousands kilometers distant from the subduction zone, from the mysterious deep earthquakes triggered in the interior of the descending slabs, to the detailed pattern of accretionary wedges in convergent zones, from the induced mantle flow in the deep mantle, to the nature of the paradigTable of ContentsContributors vii Introduction: The Impact of Subduction Dynamics on Mantle Flow, Continental Tectonics, and Seismic HazardGabriele Morra, David A.

    Book SynopsisThe eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980, was the most catastrophic and deadly volcanic event ever experienced in the United States. That event had the force of thousands of atom bombs and destroyed 234 square miles of forestland. This highly visual book tells the scientific and human story of that cataclysm and the remarkable recovery that has occurred. Some surprising facts are that the late winter of 1980 contributed to the survival of some hibernating animals; the larger mammals, including elk, brown bears, and cougars have all returned; and unaffected forests quickly spread to cover areas that were wiped out by the blast.

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisConcise and engaging visual guide to Earth's most devastating natural forces: earthquakes, volcanoes, and plate tectonicsOne in 20 people in the world live within range of an active volcano. On average, Magnitude 2 and smaller earthquakes occur several hundred times a day worldwide. Volcanoes and Earthquakes explores the massive natural forces from within the Earth that greatly affect its surface, often with dramatic and long-lasting consequences.Written in an accessible style, and fully illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and maps, the book explains the violence of earthquakes and volcanoes that impact humankind, and the gradual continental drift and mountain building that have transformed the Earth over the 4.5 billion years of its existence. It details the processes that have and continue to form, destroy, and move the Earth's surface.The authors describe how the Earth formed, from the beginnings of the solar system to the growth of the continents as they are today, and delve deep into the Earth's core to explore what drives the plates and feeds volcanoes. The last chapter examines the changes in the tectonic processes that link the Earth's mass, water, atmosphere, and life, including the effects on climate, sea-level, and the distribution of plant and animal species. Volcanoes and Earthquakes is a powerful reminder of the impact of natural forces on our everyday lives.

  • Volcanoes of Auckland: A Field Guide

    Auckland University Press Volcanoes of Auckland: A Field Guide

    Book SynopsisVolcanoes of Auckland is a handy field guide to the fiery natural world that so deeply shapes New Zealand's largest city - from Rangitoto to One Tree Hill, Lake Pupuke to Orakei Basin. For tens of thousands of years, volcanoes have profoundly shaped the area's geology and geography. And for hundreds of years, volcanoes have played a key part in the lives of Maori and Pakeha - as sites for pa, kumara gardens or twentieth-century military fortifications, as sources of stone and water, and now as parks and reserves for all to enjoy. In a new format designed for the backpack (and including three newly recognised craters), the field guide features: * an accessible introduction to the science of eruptions, including dating and the next eruption * a history of Maori and Pakeha uses of the volcanoes * an illustrated guide to each of Auckland's 53 volcanoes, including where to go and what to do * aerial photography, maps and historic photographs - over 400 illustrations, 80% of them new. This field guide will help readers engage afresh with the history, geography and geology of Auckland's unique volcanic landscape. How many volcanoes are there? When did they erupt and how do we know? Will there be another eruption in Auckland and, if so, where and when? Will we have sufficient warning to evacuate in time? What is a lava cave, a volcanic bomb or a tuff ring? Why were Auckland's volcanoes such an attraction to early Maori? Why is it that Auckland's freshest water comes out of our volcanoes? This book answers these and many more questions. Volcanoes of Auckland is the essential guide for locals and tourists, school children and scientists, as they climb up Mt Eden or North Head and take in the volcanic landscape that so shapes life in our city.Table of ContentsIntroduction Auckland Volcanic Field How the volcanoes work Wet explosive eruptions Fire-fountaining and fiery explosive eruptions Lava flows Volcanic bombs and projectile blocks Volcanic `hailstones' Lava caves How old is each volcano?

    Book SynopsisDer mediterrane Raum gehört weltweit zu den Gebieten mit der höchsten seismischen Aktivität. Insbesondere Griechenland und die heutige Türkei, aber auch große Teile Italiens oder der Levante wurden und werden in regelmäßigen Abständen von Erdbeben heimgesucht, die nicht selten katastrophale Folgen haben. Diese Ereignisse wurden bereits in der antiken Literatur in vielfältiger Art und Weise reflektiert und gedeutet.Innerhalb der altertumswissenschaftlichen Forschung ist das Thema Erdbeben in den letzten Jahrzehnten zwar verschiedentlich aufgegriffen worden, doch konzentrierte man sich dabei auf einige wenige Aspekte: Im Vordergrund standen die Katalogisierung von Einzelfällen, die Aufbereitung antiker Erklärungsansätze sowie die Untersuchung des materiellen Bewältigungshandelns. Zu vertiefenden Analysen, die das Phänomen über die Jahrhunderte hinweg, in seiner breiten räumlichen Ausdehnung und unter Berücksichtigung der verschiedenen Zeugnisformen betrachten, ist es bisher nicht gekommen.An dieser Stelle setzt der vorliegende Sammelband an. Er fragt nach den Beziehungen zwischen dem Eintreten von extremen seismischen Ereignissen und zeitgenössischen Weltanschauungen, nach Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Rekonstruierbarkeit vergangener Bebenkatastrophen sowie nach den Modi ihrer literarischen Repräsentation. Zu diesem Zweck versammelt der Band Expertisen aus unterschiedlichen altertumswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen (Geschichts- und Literaturwissenschaft, Archäologie, Epigraphik) und darüber hinaus (historische Seismologie, Sinologie).
