This book describeshow glaciers grow and decay, how theymove, and how they influence us.Glacier ice has shaped the landscapeover millions of years. Glacier meltwaterdrives turbines and irrigates deserts, andyields mineral-rich soils. However,glaciers also threaten human propertyand life. Our future is indirectly boundup with the fate of glaciers and theirinfluence on global climate and sealevel. A lively text is supported by over200 stunning photographs.

Uncertain Science …Uncertain WorldHenry N. PollackUniversity of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Science is full of uncertainties. Scientistsoften have more than one answer to aproblem or disagree amongstthemselves. Taking examples fromrecent science headlines and every daylife, Uncertain Science … UncertainWorld enables the reader to evaluateuncertainty from their own perspectives,and find out more about how scienceactually works.Pre-publication praise:‘Uncertain Science … Uncertain Worldgives the layman an excellent insidelook at how science works andflourishes even though it is immersedin uncertainty. It’s my hope that thisvery clearly written book, devoid ofboth polemics and equations, will bewidely read by the general public andpolicy-makers.’Paul Crutzen, Winner of the 1995 Nobel Prizefor Chemistry for work on the Ozone hole

of the relatively brief history of itssubject which began shortly after thedawning of plate-tectonic theory littlemore than 30 years ago. It thendescribes the nature and importantconsequences of fluid flow in the sub-seafloor, ending with a summary of howthe oceans are affected by thesurprisingly rapid exchange of waterbetween the crust and the watercolumn overhead. The accompanying CDincludes a full and easily navigated setof diagrams and captions, references,and photos of research vessels,submersibles, and tools used in marinehydrologic studies.

Wind as a GeomorphicAgent in Cold ClimatesMatti SeppäläUniversity of Helsinki

Wind erosion and deposition areimportant factors in cold climatesbecause of the open space and scarcevegetation. Aeolian processes connectedwith sand drift in polar environmentsare similar to those in deserts but incold environments, frost and snow alsoplay an important role. The Arctic ischaracterised by strangely eroded rocks,wind-formed lakes, sand dunes andloess deposits that owe their formationto aeolian processes controlled by frostand snow cover. Wind as a GeomorphicAgent in Cold Climates presents adetailed description and explanation ofthese wind-generated polar landforms.It includes numerous illustrations thatwill assist the reader in identifying andinterpreting these features; bothmodern-day and those preserved in thegeological record. This book provides animportant introduction to this area ofgeocryology and will form a usefulreference for graduate students andresearchers in a variety of fields,including geomorphology, geology andenvironmental science.Studies in Polar Research

Biomarkers are compounds found incrude oil with structures inherited fromonce-living organisms. They persist in oilspills, refinery products andarchaeological artifacts, and can beused to identify the origin, geologicalage and environmental conditionsprevalent during their formation andalteration. The two volumes of TheBiomarker Guide detail the origin ofpetroleum, technology for its analysisand key parameters for interpretation. Itwill be an invaluable resource forgeologists, petroleum geochemists,biogeochemists, environmental andforensic scientists, natural productchemists and archaeologists.

• An all-inclusive reference guide

• Describes key methods forgeochemical analysis of petroleum

• Ties petroleum geochemistry toenvironmental and forensic chemistry,archaeology, biogeochemistry andnatural product chemistry

Handbook of Isotopesin the CosmosHydrogen to GalliumDonald ClaytonClemson University, South Carolina

Each naturally occurring isotope has atale to tell about the history of matter,and each has its own special place incosmic evolution. This volume aims tograsp the origins of our material worldby looking at the abundance of theelements and their isotopes, and howthis is interpreted within the theory ofnucleosynthesis. Each isotope ofelements from Hydrogen to Gallium iscovered in detail. For each, there is anhistorical and chemical introduction,and a table of those isotopes that areabundant in the natural world.Information given on each isotopeincludes its nuclear properties, solarsystem abundance, nucleosynthesis instars, astronomical observations, andisotopic anomalies in presolar grainsand solar-system solids. The book issuitable for astronomers, physicists,chemists, geologists and planetaryscientists, and contains a glossary ofessential technical terms.

Early Earthquakes ofthe AmericasRobert L. KovachStanford University, California

There is emerging interest amongstresearchers from various subject areasin understanding the interplay ofearthquake and volcanic occurrences,archaeology and history. This disciplinehas become known asarcheoseismology. Ancient earthquakesoften leave their mark in the myths,legends, and literary accounts of ancientpeoples, the stratigraphy of theirhistorical sites, and the structuralintegrity of their constructions. Suchinformation leads to a better

understanding of the irregularities in thetime-space patterns of earthquake andvolcanic occurrences and whether theycould have been a factor contributing tosome of the enigmatic catastrophes inancient times. This book focuses on thehistorical earthquakes of North andSouth America, and describes the effectsthose earthquakes have had withillustrated examples of recent structuraldamage at archaeological sites. It iswritten at a level that will appeal tostudents and researchers in the fields ofearth science, archaeology, and history.

3-D seismic data have become the keytool used in the petroleum industry tounderstand the subsurface. In additionto providing excellent structural images,the dense sampling of a 3-D survey cansometimes make it possible to mapreservoir quality and the distribution ofoil and gas. This book covers basicstructural interpretation and map-making; the use of 3-D visualisationmethods; interpretation of seismicamplitudes, including their relation torock and fluid properties; and thegeneration and use of AVO and acousticimpedance datasets. Also included is theincreasingly important field of time-lapse seismic mapping, which allowsthe interpreter to trace the movement offluids within the reservoir duringproduction. Written by professionalgeophysicists with many yearsexperience in the oil industry, the bookwill be indispensable for geoscientistslearning to use 3-D seismic data,including graduate students and newentrants into the petroleum industry.
