Regional Geology Reviews

Pursuing a new global approach, this unique book provides an updated review of the geology of Iberia and its continental margins from a geodynamic perspective. Owing to its location close to successive plate margins, Iberia has played a pivotal role in the geodynamic evolution of the Gondwanan, Rheic, Pangea, Tethys s.l. and Eurasian plates over the last 600 Ma of Earth’s history. The geological record begins with the amalgamation of Gondwana in the Neoproterozoic, followed by the rifting and spread of the Rheic ocean; its demise, which led to the amalgamation of Pangea in the late Paleozoic; the rifting and spread of several arms of the Neotethys ocean in the Mesozoic Era; and concludes with their ongoing closure, which was responsible for the Alpine orogeny. The significant advances made in the past 20 years have attracted considerable international research interest in the geology of the Iberian Peninsula.  This volume focuses in the Cadomian orogenic cycle and the oldest geological records in the Iberian Peninsula.&nbsp;

Enriches understanding of the evolution of the Iberian microplate for the last 600 million years
&nbsp;
Reviews exhaustively the key recent advances on the geology of&nbsp;the Iberian Peninsula&nbsp;from a geodynamic perspective
&nbsp;
Summarizes the latest studies on the record in Iberia of the Cadomian, Variscan and Alpine orogenies&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Maximizes the reader insights on the evolution of plate boundaries in the western corner of Europe

Jedes Jahr wird die Öffentlichkeit von Berichten über Naturereignisse und deren Folgen für die betroffenen Menschen erschüttert: Der Tsunami am 26. Dezember 2004 ging als eine der größten Naturkatastrophen der Neuzeit in die Geschichte ein, in den nachfolgenden Jahren wurden in mehreren Ländern Europas Jahrhunderthochwasser gemeldet. Und dieser Tage beherrschen Schlagzeilen über das verheerende Erdbeben in Nepal unsere Nachrichten. Diese und weitere Beispiele sind Thema des vorliegenden Lese- und Lehrbuchs. Die Geographie ist durch das Zusammenwirken von physio- und humangeographischen Ansätzen wie keine andere Wissenschaft dazu prädestiniert, die vielfach miteinander verknüpften Problemlagen einer Katastrophe in ihren zahlreichen Facetten und Handlungsdimensionen umfassend zu "begreifen". Wissenschaftler aus beiden Bereichen verknüpfen in diesem Buch die naturwissenschaftlichen Fragen nach den Auslösern von Naturkatastrophen - etwa mit Blick auf geotektonische Vorgänge oder klimatische Prozesse - mit gesellschaftlichen Fragestellungen: Hier geht es um medizinische und soziale Probleme, um die Verwundbarkeit bestimmter Bevölkerungsgruppen und um die Einbettung dieser Aspekte in globale Wirtschaftsverflechtungen. Geographie und Katastrophenforschung gehören zu den wenigen Wissenschaften, welche unterschiedliche Maßstabsebenen von global bis lokal miteinander verknüpfen; sie betrachten damit die globale Umweltsituation und die ökologische Zukunft unseres Planeten ebenso wie lokale Problemstellungen. Das sich neu etablierende Themenfeld der Hazardforschung veranschaulicht, wie aktuelle Ereignisse mit langfristigen Entwicklungen in Beziehung stehen (Stichwort Global Change), und berücksichtigt dabei die Bewältigung ebenso wie auch die Prävention von Katastrophen.

Series in Astronomy and Astrophysics

This book focuses on observing magnetic fields in order to understand their role in star and planet formation. Polarimetry observers will gain a better understanding of all the various techniques, especially those beyond what they themselves use. Theorists will gain an understanding of exactly what one can infer from the observational data, including both the limitations and the power of the different techniques. Readers not actively involved in star formation research will gain a clear understanding of the possible roles played by magnetic fields and the current state of the observational field. The book provides a foundation for future research in this field.

How do you explore distant stars, buried water on Mars or the first moments after the Big Bang - without leaving your back garden? In The Radio Universe, award-winning astrophysicist Emma Chapman takes us on an electrifying voyage through the cosmos using one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, tools in science: the radio wave. With dazzling clarity and humour, Chapman reveals how these invisible messengers glide through space, bounce off planets, tunnel through clouds and slip past galactic dust - carrying secrets of the universe that no other kind of light can uncover. We follow a single radio wave as it escapes Earth and travels outward - ricocheting off the Moon, tunnelling through Venus's furnace-thick atmosphere, tracing ancient ice hidden in Mercury's shadows and diving deep into the swirling arms of the Milky Way. Along the way, we meet black holes that roar louder than stars, pulsars more precise than atomic clocks and galaxies lit by the very first starlight. We explore volcanic pancake planets, death-defying neutron stars, the eerie possibility of alien broadcasts - and the fragile question of our own future in the cosmos. A celebration of human ingenuity and cosmic curiosity, The Radio Universe reveals that the true frontier of space isn't 'out there' - it's humming quietly all around us, waiting to be heard.

Following the importance of understanding and asssessing geotechnical hazards, vulnerability and risk, new concepts and techniques of reliability analysis have been developed in the last 20 years. Though widely accepted, application has been slow. This book introduces basic principles and methods of geotechnical risk and reliability and demonstrates their relevance for improved understanding, more effective strategies and better problem-solving skills. Attention is given to the latest developments in the application to geotechnical problems and how reliability analysis and assessment of hazard and risk along with suitable observational approaches can facilitate the management of risk.

Traditional methods of geotechnical engineering still dominate the approach of risk and reliability. Following the importance of understanding and asssessing geotechnical hazards, vulnerability and risk, new concepts and techniques of reliability analysis have been developed in the last 20 years. While these are widely accepted, application has been very slow. With a structured approach, this book introduces the reader to basic principles and methods of geotechnical risk and reliability and demonstrates their relevance for improved understanding, more effective strategies and better problem-solving skills. Reference is made throughout to the latest developments in the application to geotechnical problems. Attention is given to the ways in which reliability analysis and assessment of hazard and risk along with suitable observational approaches can facilitate the management of risk.

Geotechnical Risk and Reliability, an Introduction

Children of Strife

Close your eyes and imagine the last moments of a massive star, large as the Solar System. As the mass of its core approaches a fatidic value, the enormous fabric collapses. The star plasma streams like a monstrous wave inward towards the center of the star. In a fraction of a second the core of the star becomes as dense as an atomic nucleus. And then a mighty outward shock wave forms, disrupting the whole structure, the star becoming almost as bright as the whole galaxy. This explosion is a supernova!Chinese observers studied with care these events since ancient times; the observation of these explosions by Tycho Brahe and Kepler was crucial for the adoption of the Copernican system. Do you know that each drop of your blood contains iron atoms produced in these cosmic cataclysms? We are literally star dust, disseminated in the galactic medium by supernovae.This book guides the reader in the discovery of these rare events, the most spectacular that the Universe can offer. Present models reproduce the explosion only with difficulty, as if some details were wrong, or a whole aspect of physics was missing from the equations. Different aspects of these events are illustrated, as well as their historical and scientific importance and their crucial role in the evolution of the galaxy and the living organisms.
