  • Surge Tectonics: A New Hypothesis of Global Geodynamics

    by Arthur A. Meyerhoff, I. Taner, A.E.L. Morris, W.B. Agocs, M. Kamen-Kaye, Mohammad I. Bhat, N. Christian Smoot, Dong R. Choi ...
    Series Book 9 - Solid Earth Sciences Library
    TECTONlCS AND PHYSICS Geology, although rooted in the laws of physics, rarely has been taught in a manner designed to stress the relations between the laws and theorems of physics and the postulates of geology. The same is true of geophysics, whose specialties (seismology, gravimetIy, magnetics, magnetotellurics) deal only with the laws that govern them, and not with those that govern geology's ...

  • The Earth

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Martin Redfern ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    For generations, the ground beneath the feet of our ancestors seemed solid and unchanging. Around 30 years ago, two things happened that were to revolutionize the understanding of our home planet. First, geologists realized that the continents themselves were drifting across the surface of the globe and that oceans were being created and destroyed. Secondly, pictures of the entire planet were ... Read more

  • Tectonic Geomorphology

    by Douglas W. Burbank, Robert S. Anderson ...
    Tectonic geomorphology is the study of the interplay between tectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regions of active deformation and at time scales ranging from days to millions of years. Over the past decade, recent advances in the quantification of both rates and the physical basis of tectonic and surface processes have underpinned an explosion of new research in the field ...

    The Mechanics and Chemistry of Landscapes

    by Robert S. Anderson, Suzanne P. Anderson ...
    This textbook provides a modern, quantitative and process-oriented approach to equip students with the tools to understand geomorphology. Insight into the interpretation of landscapes is developed from basic principles and simple models, and by stepping through the equations that capture the essence of the mechanics and chemistry of landscapes. Boxed worked examples and real-world applications ... Read more

  • Rising Seas

    Past, Present, Future

    by Vivien Gornitz ...
    The Earth's climate is already warming due to increased concentrations of human-produced greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the specter of rising sea level is one of global warming's most far-reaching threats. Sea level will keep rising long after greenhouse gas emissions have ceased, because of the delay in penetration of surface warming to the ocean depths and because of the slow ... Read more

  • Orogenesis

    The Making of Mountains

    by Michael R. W. Johnson, Simon L. Harley ...
    Orogenesis, the process of mountain building, occurs when two tectonic plates collide – either forcing material upwards to form mountain belts such as the Alps or Himalayas or causing one plate to be subducted below the other, resulting in volcanic mountain chains such as the Andes. Integrating the approaches of structural geology and metamorphism, this book provides an up-to-date overview of ... Read more

  • Ice Core Evidence - Dispelling Arguments Against Immanuel Velikovsky’s Theories Based On Greenland Ice Cores

    by Charles Ginenthal ...
    The debate over ice core data has spanned many years. I have reexamined the record and analyzed the evidence in terms of Velikovsky's scenario. What I have found is that his critics, who have raised this ice core evidence, have based their objections on uniformitarian concepts and have ignored Velikovsky's scenario. In reality, the data supports Velikovsky's catastrophic scenario and contradicts ... Read more
