Download or read book Outer Geosciences written by Richard L. Blake and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents an objective discussion of the importance of the atmospheric/solar-terrestrial system to national energy programs. A brief sketch is given of the solar-terrestrial environment, extending from the earth's surface to the sun. Processes in this natural system influence several energy activities directly or indirectly, and some present and potential energy activities can influence the natural system. It is not yet possible to assess the two-way interactions quantitatively or to evaluate the economic impact. An investment by the Department of Energy (DOE) in a long-range basic research program would be an important part of the department's mission. Existing programs by other agencies in this area of research are reviewed, and a compatible DOE program is outlined.

Download or read book A NEW THEORY OF THE EARTH written by FASHI JIANG and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the simulation test, this book A NEW THEORY OF THE EARTH: THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION puts forward the New Theory of Solar System. It explains the origin of the rotation of the celestial body, the revolution, the rotation of Venus, the reverse of the comet's orbit, and explains the reasons why the Earth is tilted, Jupiter is upright, and Uranus lies in the orbit. The book puts forward a new theory of the Earth. The formation of the Earth was out of the solar system, the Sun captured the Earth, and then geological period came into the phanerozoic eon. The structure of the Earth is divided again with new methods. The simulation results show that the core is not in the center of the earth, and the speed of which is faster than that of the outer ring. The new theory also explains the formation of the earthquake and volcano. The book puts forward the theory of multiple causes of the crustal movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The translation is a summary of complex data on the earth's crust and upper mantle. In the examination of the data on the various regions of the terrestrial globe (characteristics of the gravity, magnetic, seismic, thermal and electric fields of the earth) and the comparison between them and the structure of the crust, the author reveals the specific features of the different geological structures and determines the diagnostic significance of the geophysical data. Much attention is given to the crustal structure of the oceanic areas. A description of the general characteristics of the relief and the physical properties of the upper mantle is given in the last section of the book, where the physical map of the upper mantle is given in the last section of the book, where the physical map of the upper mantle is presented. In conclusion, a review is given of the projects of ultradeep scientific boring in the Pacific ocean, territory of the USSR, Japan and Canada. (Author).
Download or read book Earth Observation Remote Sensing and Geoscientific Ground Investigations for Archaeological and Heritage Research written by Deodato Tapete and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects 15 papers written by renowned scholars from across the globe that showcase the forefront research in Earth observation (EO), remote sensing (RS), and geoscientific ground investigations to study archaeological records and cultural heritage. Archaeologists, anthropologists, geographers, remote sensing, and archaeometry experts share their methodologies relying on a wealth of techniques and data including, but not limited to: very high resolution satellite images from optical and radar space-borne sensors, air-borne surveys, geographic information systems (GIS), archaeological fieldwork, and historical maps. A couple of the contributions highlight the value of noninvasive and nondestructive laboratory analyses (e.g., neutron diffraction) to reconstruct ancient manufacturing technologies, and of geological ground investigations to corroborate hypotheses of historical events that shaped cultural landscapes. Case studies encompass famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites (e.g., the Nasca Lines in Peru), remote and yet-to-discover archaeological areas in tropical forests in central America, European countries, south Asian changing landscapes, and environments which are arid nowadays but were probably full of woody vegetation in the past. Finally, the reader can learn about the state-of-the-art of education initiatives to train site managers in the use of space technologies in support of their activities, and can understand the legal aspects involved in the application of EO and RS to address current challenges of African heritage preservation.
