Nedelec Anne: Earth and Life

Earth and Life

A History of Four Billion Years

Now in paperback: This San Francisco Chronicle bestseller and California Book Award finalist drills down into Oakland's geological history and its impacts on the city's urban present."This book has turned me into a newcomer to my own city, but has also changed the way I will view any landscape. I can think of few greater gifts than that."—Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing&nbsp;and Saving Time"Spending time with Andrew Alden is like giving yourself x-ray eyes." —Roman Mars, host and creator of 99% InvisibleBeneath Oakland's streets and underfoot of every scurrying creature atop them, rocks roil, shift, crash, and collide in an ever-churning seismological saga. In Deep Oakland, geologist Andrew Alden excavates the ancient story of Oakland's geologic underbelly and reveals how its silt, soil, and subterranean sinews are intimately entwined with its human history—and future. Poised atop a world-famous fault line now slumbering, Alden charts how these quaking rocks gave rise to the hills and the flats; how ice-age sand dunes gave root to the city's eponymous oak forests; how the Jurassic volcanoes of Leona Heights gave way to mining boom times; how Lake Merritt has swelled and disappeared a dozen times over the course of its million-year lifespan; and how each epochal shift has created the terrain cradling Oaklanders today. With Alden as our guide—and with illustrations by Laura Cunningham, author of A State of Change—we see that just as Oakland is a human crossroads, a convergence of cultures from the world over, so too is the bedrock below, carried here from parts still incompletely known.

Quantitative Geomorphology in the Artificial Intelligence Era: Applications of AI for Earth and Environmental Change focuses on bridging the gaps in this emerging discipline, it delves into the complex interplay between landforms and the processes that shape them, offering innovative solutions through AI and data-driven methods. The book addresses the standards, quality assessment of data, spatial and temporal analysis tools, and rigorous validation techniques in geomorphology. It uses computational intelligence as a pivotal tool alongside GIS, remote sensing, and other advanced technologies. Readers will find a holistic resource that fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange among geological fields, aiming to address geomorphological challenges, hazards, and solutions. By harnessing AI, GIS, remote sensing, machine learning, and geophysical techniques, it offers new dimensions to existing assessment methods and techniques.

Spatial Autocorrelation: A Fundamental Property of Geospatial Sciences offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most critical concepts in spatial analysis. Beginning with foundational theories and clear definitions, this book thoroughly sets out the concepts and theory of spatial autocorrelation through detailed conceptualisation and practical examples. The detailed case studies illustrate the pervasive influence of spatial patterns in scientific inquiry, with an eye toward future research and innovative techniques. It provides practical methodologies for quantifying spatial autocorrelation, complete with step-by-step guidance and real-world applications. Spatial Autocorrelation equips graduate students, researchers, and professionals with the knowledge and tools to confidently navigate and apply spatial analysis in their respective domains, making it a vital addition to a number of disciplines that utilise spatial analysis.

Geomechanics Research

This book provides a basis to interpret acoustic emission (AE) as damage processes in stressed rock, with applications to stress measurements, size effects, source mechanisms, and fracture mechanics. Basic features of an AE monitoring system will be covered, with some background on the sensor, pre-amplifier, and data acquisition. Several examples of AE monitoring will include both lab and field applications ranging from element testing to hydraulic fracturing. Intended for geologists, geophysicists and mining, petroleum and civil engineers dealing with rock stress and rock damage processes.

Rock stress and rock damaging are some of the main obstacles encountered when designing and constructing engineering projects with rock. This book will provide a basis to interpret acoustic emission (AE) as damage processes in stressed rock, with applications to stress measurements, size effects, source mechanisms, and fracture mechanics. The nature of rock will be described as a crystalline solid with voids in the form of small cracks and pores called damage, and AE will be explained as energy released as a result of increase in damage. Basic features of an AE monitoring system will be covered, with some background on the sensor, pre-amplifier, and data acquisition. Waveform analyses will include source locations through a geometric interpretation and a numerical algorithm, which will be available through the authors’ web sites. Fault plane solutions and moment tensor analysis will be presented for a quantitative evaluation of micromechanisms of rock failure under tension and shear. Several examples of AE monitoring will include both lab and field applications ranging from element testing to hydraulic fracturing. Intended for geologists, geophysicists and mining, petroleum and civil engineers dealing with rock stress and rock damage processes.

Microanalysis of Atmospheric Particles Techniques and Applications Most of what is visible in the atmosphere-such as pollution, dust, haze, fog, and clouds-is due to micrometer- and nanometer-sized aerosol particles. It is important to understand the source, characteristics, and behavior of these small particles as they play a fundamental role in large-scale atmospheric processes. Microanalysis of Atmospheric Particles: Techniques and Applications presents different microscopic techniques for studying aerosols and explores a range of applications in climate studies and air quality studies. Volume highlights include: <ul><li>Overview of different techniques and applications</li> <li>In-depth descriptions of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, Raman microspectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy</li> <li>Techniques for studying physical characteristics and chemical composition</li> <li>Methods to examine particle transformation</li> <li>Examples including soot, organic aerosols, ice crystals, and sea spray</li> <li>Applications for global and regional climate change and urban air quality</li></ul> The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

Fossils and Earth Time: Evolution and Biostratigraphy provides a complete picture of micro- and macrofossils, shedding light on their evolution and biostratigraphy throughout the Phanerozoic Era. The book offers a detailed exploration of the diverse fossil groups that have shaped Earth's history and integrates paleontological insights, geological context, and biostratigraphic principles to elucidate the relationship between these fossil assemblages and the Earth's dynamic past. The book explores the significance of these fossils as valuable biostratigraphic tools, enabling precise dating and correlation of sedimentary rocks across different regions and continents. Fossils and Earth Time: Evolution and Biostratigraphy is an up-to-date and detailed resource for students, researchers and professionals working in geology, paleontology, or working on spatial and temporal distribution across Earth’s history.

Bacterial Biogeochemistry: The Ecophysiology of Mineral Cycling, Fourth Edition discusses the influence of bacterial activity on the chemical environment of the biosphere. Following the success of previous editions, this update focuses on bacterial metabolism and its relevance to the environment, including the decomposition of soil, food chains, nitrogen fixation, assimilation, and reduction of carbon nitrogen and sulfur, and microbial symbiosis. All chapters have been revised and brought up-to-date in light of the many advances and discoveries that have taken place during the last decade. The scope of the new edition has broadened to provide a review of the processes and phenomena that are relevant for global change feedback loops and advances in bacterial biogeochemical cycles.
