Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oceans cover 70% of the terrestrial surface, and exert a pervasive influence on the Earth's environment but their nature is poorly recognized. Knowing the ocean's role deeply and understanding the complex, physical, biological, chemical and geological systems operating within it represent a major challenge to scientists today. Seafloor observatories offer scientists new opportunites to study multiple, interrelated natural phenomena over time scales ranging from seconds to decades, from episodic to global and long-term processes. Seafloor Observatories poses the important and apparently simple question, "How can continuous and reliable monitoring at the seafloor by means of Seafloor Observatories extend exploration and improve knowledge of our planet?" The book leads the reader through: the present scientific challenges to be addressed with seafloor observatories the technical solutions for their architecture an excursus on worldwide ongoing projects and programmes some relevant scientific multidisciplinary results and a presentation of new and interesting long-term perspectives for the coming years. Current results will yield significant improvements and exert a strong impact not only on our present knowledge of our planet but also on human evolution.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southwest Asia is one of the most remarkable regions on Earth in terms of active faulting and folding, large-magnitude earthquakes, volcanic landscapes, petroliferous foreland basins, historical civilizations as well as geologic outcrops that display the protracted and complex 540 m.y. stratigraphic record of Earth's Phanerozoic Era. Emerged from the birth and demise of the Paleo-Tethys and Neo-Tethys oceans, southwest Asia is currently the locus of ongoing tectonic collision between the Eurasia-Arabia continental plates. The region is characterized by the high plateaus of Iran and Anatolia fringed by the lofty ranges of Zagros, Alborz, Caucasus, Taurus, and Pontic mountains; the region also includes the strategic marine domains of the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Caspian, and Mediterranean. This 19-chapter volume, published in honor of Manuel Berberian, a preeminent geologist from the region, brings together a wealth of new data, analyses, and frontier research on the geologic evolution, collisional tectonics, active deformation, and historical and modern seismicity of key areas in southwest Asia.

Download or read book An Introduction to Seismology Earthquakes and Earth Structure written by Seth Stein and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes and Earth Structures is an introduction to seismology and its role in the earth sciences, and is written for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The fundamentals of seismic wave propagation are developed using a physical approach and then applied to show how refraction, reflection, and teleseismic techniques are used to study the structure and thus the composition and evolution of the earth. The book shows how seismic waves are used to study earthquakes and are integrated with other data to investigate the plate tectonic processes that cause earthquakes. Figures, examples, problems, and computer exercises teach students about seismology in a creative and intuitive manner. Necessary mathematical tools including vector and tensor analysis, matrix algebra, Fourier analysis, statistics of errors, signal processing, and data inversion are introduced with many relevant examples. The text also addresses the fundamentals of seismometry and applications of seismology to societal issues. Special attention is paid to help students visualize connections between different topics and view seismology as an integrated science. An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes, and Earth Structure gives an excellent overview for students of geophysics and tectonics, and provides a strong foundation for further studies in seismology. Multidisciplinary examples throughout the text - catering to students in varied disciplines (geology, mineralogy, petrology, physics, etc.). Most up to date book on the market - includes recent seismic events such as the 1999 Earthquakes in Turkey, Greece, and Taiwan). Chapter outlines - each chapter begins with an outline and a list of learning objectives to help students focus and study. Essential math review - an entire section reviews the essential math needed to understand seismology. This can be covered in class or left to students to review as needed.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The İnteraction between science and technology is an irrefutable fact. Scientific studies produce infonnation and cause advances in technology while on the other hand technological progress provİdes us better circumstances on scientific researches. Today , there İs an explosion of Earth science data İn the world and İt İs available in digital form on the Intemet. On one hand, Earth scİentİsts have data and try to understand dynamİcs of the Earth. But on the other hand, each scientist develops own tool to analyse these data. However , İt İs better to reuse the functionality of exİstİng systems İn comparİson to rebuilding them. Servİce-oriented technology can support strongly Earth scİences İn thİs context. It İs a practİcal and cost-effectİve solutİon for uniting İnfonnation distributed between applications over operatİng system, platform, and language barrİers that were prevİously İmpassable. Therefore İn the past, solutİons have been created for collectİng, storİng and accessİng data, now İt İs a challenge to effectİvely share data, applİcatİon and processİng resources across many locatİons. In thİs study , a system was developed to access the Earth scİence data that İs avaİlable now and data whİch wİll be comİng onlİne, and to provİde users easy access to computatİon and vİsualİzatİon tools. The maİn goal of thİs study İs to buİld an easy-to-use İnteractİve data access and computatİonal envİronment to study earthquakes İn Turkey .Thİs study also shows how the İmpoftance oflnformatİon Technology İn Earth scİences has an outstandİng rİse. Chapter 1 İntroduces the background to the research and gİves an overall revİew of current Web-GIS applcations in Earth scİences İn the world, and then gives the thesİs objectİves. Chapter 1 also İntroduces background knowledge of the plate tectonic settİng in Turkey and earthquake activities; briefly describes the plate tectonics theory; and finally gives a detaİled İntroductİon to the motİvation of the study İncluding definİtİon of the problem. Chapter 2 presents the detaİled İnfonnatİon about the case study whİch İs a straİn analysİs tool for seİsmİc hazard assesment. Its main features, principle, functİons, structure, and maİn algorİthms of the programs are descrİbed İn detaİl. Chapter 3 İs about the implementation of the system. Whİch steps were taken specİfically , whİch resources of information technology , and how they were used are mentioned. It exp\ains how thİs system is able to solve the related problem. It also İntroduces data used İn the study and the data storage. Chapter 4 expresses the outputs of the study .The benefits at the levels of decİsİon makİng and scİentİfic are dİvİded İnto seperate tİtles and explaİned. Chapter 5 summarİzes the thesİs wİth conclusİons and recommendatİons for future works.
