Nédélec A: Earth and Life

Earth and Life

A History of Four Billion Years

AGU Advanced Textbooks

A textbook applying fundamental seismology theories to the latest computational tools The goal of computational seismology is to digitally simulate seismic waves, create subsurface models, and match these models with observations to identify subsurface rock properties. With recent advances in computing technology, including machine learning, it is now possible to automate matching procedures and use waveform inversion or optimization to create large-scale models. Computation, Optimization, and Machine Learning in Seismology provides students with a detailed understanding of seismic wave theory, optimization theory, and how to use machine learning to interpret seismic data. Volume highlights include: <ul> <li>Mathematical foundations and key equations for computational seismology</li> <li>Essential theories, including wave propagation and elastic wave theory</li> <li>Processing, mapping, and interpretation of prestack data</li> <li>Model-based optimization and artificial intelligence methods</li> <li>Applications for earthquakes, exploration seismology, depth imaging, and multi-objective geophysics problems</li> <li>Exercises applying the main concepts of each chapter</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.

This book explains the role of geology as the basis of sustainability. It discusses how humans have altered natural balances and the unique dimensions that geology brings to understanding sustainability. This book provides sustainability-oriented solutions so that humans can live in harmony with nature.

Quantitative Methods in Stratigraphy: A Multi-Proxy Palaeoenvironmental Analysis of Outcrop and Core Data explores the current advances in technology, offering a wide range of quantitative geophysical, geochemical, and spectral methods, which are less expensive, timesaving, and often non-destructive. The book first outlines the main principles and applications of stratigraphy and paleoenvironmental analysis. Chapters then work methodically through quantitative data in stratigraphy, gamma-ray methods, magnetic susceptibility and magnetometry, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Near infrared (NIR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as well as energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy are reviewed in- depth. With the wide range of now affordable quantitative methods, high-resolution sampling, and large datasets available across strata, outcrop research can offer unprecedented potential for outcrop-to-core-to-well log correlation, and subsequent (paleo)environmental analysis while keeping data reproducibility at a high level. This book serves as a useful reference guide for geoscientists, academicians, and researchers, helping them keep pace with advances in technology and instrumentation and conduct state-of-the-art research in geosciences.

Strike-Slip Tectonics

A biologist’s firsthand account of the hunt for life beneath earth’s surface—and how new discoveries are challenging our most basic assumptions about the nature of life on Earth Life thrives in the deepest, darkest recesses of Earth’s crust—from methane seeps in the ocean floor to the highest reaches of Arctic permafrost—and it is unlike anything seen on the surface. Intraterrestrials shares what scientists are learning about these strange types of microbial life—and how research expeditions to some of the most extreme locales on the planet are broadening our understanding of what life is and how its earliest forms may have evolved. Drawing on her experiences and those of her fellow scientists working in challenging and often dangerous conditions, Karen Lloyd takes readers on an adventure from the bottom of the ocean in submersibles through the jungles of Central America to the high-altitude volcanoes of the Andes. Only discovered in recent decades, “intraterrestrials”—subsurface beings that are truly alien—are demonstrating how life can exist in boiling water, pure acid, and bleach. They enable us to peer back to the very dawn of life on Earth, disclosing deep branches on the tree of life that push the limits of what we thought possible. Some can “breathe” rocks or even electrons. Others may live for hundreds of thousands of years or longer. All of them are living in ways that are totally foreign to us surface dwellers. Blending captivating storytelling with the latest science, Intraterrestrials reveals what microbes in Earth’s deep surface biosphere can tell us about the prospects for finding life on other planets—and the future of life on our own.

Mine Tailings: Fundamental and Engineering Aspects of Colloidal/Fine Mine Wastes offers an in-depth examination of mine waste and related issues such as storage, safety, environmental impact, water management, and sustainability. The book begins with a review of regulations and global standards for tailings management that is followed by an analysis of common types of tailings storage facilities. The book delves into the behavior of tailings materials, including particle interactions, dispersion/aggregation, and the rheology of mineral suspensions. It covers soil mechanics and toxic substance treatment, as well as managing the closure and safety of mine waste management facilities. Additionally, it addresses the environmental, social, and governance factors essential for sustainable mining operations, making it a valuable resource for those concerned with mine waste management. This comprehensive text is crucial for researchers and engineers aiming to understand and mitigate the impacts of mine waste.

A Four Billion Year Conversation

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.

Microcracking in Rock as Acoustic Emission

A comprehensive, integrative approach to tectonics and geodynamics for students and researchers Over the past half century, major achievements have been made in the study of Earth’s surface structure and kinematics and the internal dynamics of the lithosphere and mantle. Many of these advances have relied on the integration of data and models from plate tectonics and geodynamics, yet traditional divisions persist in how these two disciplines are taught and practiced. This textbook bridges the gap, connecting geophysical and geological approaches to understand the physical processes that shape our planet’s evolution, from mantle convection to orogeny and earthquakes. An innovative approach to the solid Earth system, Tectonic Geodynamics provides a basis to explore the fundamental connections between the planet’s deep interior dynamics and the surface. <ul><li>The first textbook to integrate tectonics, structural geology, geodynamics, geodesy, and seismology in a single volume</li><li>Offers a physics-focused guide for understanding how the solid Earth system operates</li><li>Uses a “no prerequisites” approach supported by an extensive appendix that includes a calculus and linear algebra primer and coverage of key topics such as coordinate systems and spectral analysis</li><li>Includes a wealth of exercises and end-of-chapter review questions</li><li>An ideal textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in geology, geophysics, and related fields such as physics and engineering</li><li>Invaluable for self-study and as a self-contained resource for researchers</li><li>Supporting materials provided for instructors, including an instruction guide, full-color illustration package, and sample syllabi</li></ul>
