Chapman Emma: The Radio Universe / LF

The Radio Universe

Seeing the Universe in a Different Light

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.

The Geoinformatics Frontier

Fossils At A Glance is written for students taking an introductory level course in paleontology. Short chapters introduce the main topics in the modern study of fossils. The most important fossil groups are discussed, from microfossils through invertebrates to vertebrates and plants, followed by a brief narrative of life on Earth.&nbsp;Diagrams are central to the book and allow the reader to see most of the important data "at a glance". Each topic covers two pages and provides a self-contained suite of information or a starting point for future study. &nbsp; What's new in the 3rd edition? The new edition boasts full colour photographs, diagrams and illustrations for the first time. A new lead author, Tom Challands, brings a new perspective to the book. All sections have been completely revised and updated. A companion website will provide online resources for enhanced teaching and learning, including experiments and activities, including: &nbsp; -MicroCT dataset and introduction to analysing microCT fossil data using open source, freely available software (ImageJ and Drishti). &nbsp; -Simple acid preparation of fossils in carbonate rocks. &nbsp; -Character matrix for phylogenetic analysis and an introduction to phylogenetic analysis using open source and freely available software. For parsimony - TNT, for Bayesian analysis, MrBayes. &nbsp; - Videos of dissection of mollusc, bivalve, fish to illustrate anatomy

Science for Responsible Citizenship helps the reader to understand how science works and how science can help us develop reasonable and logical solutions to worldwide problems.

Science for Responsible Citizenship

Astronomy and astrophysics library

This book is based in part on classroom tested lectures related to the first stars (Pop III stars), but also draws from the author's review articles of the main physical principles involved. The book will thus combine pedagogical introductory chapters with more advanced ones to survey the cutting-edge advances from the frontier of research.The formation of Pop III stars and galaxies is one of the great outstanding challenges in modern astrophysics and cosmology. The first stars are likely key drivers for early cosmic evolution and will be at the center of attention over the next decade. The best available space and ground-based telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope probe the Universe to high redshifts and provide us with tantalizing hints; but they cannot yet directly detect the first generation of stars and the formation of the first galaxies. This is left as key science for future telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope.The book covers the theory of first star formation, the relation between first stars and dark matter, their impact on cosmology, their observational signatures, the transition to normal star formation as well as the assembly of the first galaxies. It will prepare advanced students and researchers entering the field for interpreting observational findings and their cosmological implications.

Global Environmental Studies

This book assesses the importance of the cultural dimensions of water management, which differ from one region of the world to another, from humid Southeast Asia to arid parts of the Middle East and Africa. Water is a vital resource, and water circulation brings invaluable benefits in many ways. Too much or too little water can also create disasters, however, including flooding and drought. Water is considered "too much to control" in humid areas and "too little to survive" in arid regions. There is a great storehouse of traditional and scientific knowledge on water management as an expression of culture in both arid and humid areas. The qanat, for example, is used in some arid regions to control the transport of water underground. In humid areas, people have long existed under the threat of heavy flooding by drawing upon traditional knowledge for survival. Once-effective water management is threatened, however, by climate change such as global warming and by the globalization and urbanization of society. Adaptive water management is now imperative as climate and society undergo changes. Not only political and institutional solutions are called for. As well, adaptations of traditional methods must be introduced into modern systems of water management. This book provides valuable guidance on how that synthesis can be achieved.

This reference work provides an authoritative single source for understanding and applying the concepts of complexity theory together with the tools and measures for analyzing complex systems in all fields of science and engineering. The science and tools of complexity and systems science include theories of self-organization, complex systems, synergetics, dynamical systems, turbulence, catastrophes, instabilities, nonlinearity, stochastic processes, chaos, neural networks, cellular automata, adaptive systems, and genetic algorithms. Examples of near-term problems and major unknowns that can be approached through complexity and systems science include: The structure, history and future of the universe; the biological basis of consciousness; the integration of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics as systems biology; human longevity limits; the limits of computing; sustainability of life on earth; predictability, dynamics and extent of earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters; the dynamics of turbulent flows; lasers or fluids in physics, microprocessor design; macromolecular assembly in chemistry and biophysics; brain functions in cognitive neuroscience; climate change; ecosystem management; traffic management; and business cycles. All these seemingly quite different kinds of structure formation have a number of important features and underlying structures in common. These deep structural similarities can be exploited to transfer analytical methods and understanding from one field to another. This unique work will extend the influence of complexity and system science to a much wider audience than has been possible to date.
