About the cover : The natural landscape transformed by human action : only the hilltops still carry the forest that once draped the hillsides and valleys around the village of Khodi in lower Nepal. The slope have been terraced and now stand under rice; irrigation controls the flow of water into the stream below. But evidence of the natural forces at work here still marks the countryside. The in…
A unique, authoritative surpassed collection of comparative information about the cities, countries, and geographic feature of the world. This completely update and expanded version of THE WORLD IN FIGURES (Winley, 1973) is above all, a book comparisons.
Fundamentals of physical Volcanology is a comprehensive overview of the processes that control when and how volcanoes erupt. Understanding these processes involves bringing together ideas from a number of disciplines, including branches of geology, such as petrology and geochemistry; and aspects of physics, such as fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
This book is based at the level of a bachelor’s degree in physical science. Experience at Standford indicate that a one-semester class in engineering systems theory provides helpful additional background. It will be readable to a general science and engineering audience and should be useful to anyone interested in computer modelling and data analysis in physical sciences.
Merapi volcano, located at Central Java - Indonesia, is one of the most active volcano in the world. Since 1006, about 60 cycle of activity were reported. During the 100 years, more than 24 activities recorded in detail. Dome formation and pyroclastic flow have been occurred in turns.
Attire par magnetisme des Roches puis rapidement par les applications du magnetisme a la volcanologie et a la sesmogenese, j'ai trouve au fil des annes a L'IPGP puis, a l'exterieur, des cooperations scientifiques et techniques qui m'ont permis de developper mes travaux.
L'observation des signaux sismiques d'origine volcanique est une methode importante d'etude de l'activite des volcans.
Les volcans, bien qu'ils soient des object d'investigations passionnants pour les volcanologues, demeurent avant tout des dangers pour les populations.
This thesis presents the results of a geochemical study of the Banda Arc (East Indonesia) where magma genesis is influenced by subducted source components that are controlled by an active arc-continent collision. The main objective of this study is to investigate the role of subducted continental material on the magma genesis using isotopic and chemical compositions of samples from volcanoes an…
Kelimutu is a stratovolcano that has three crater lakes containing exotic fluids. This study presents the analytical results describing the chemistry of each lake, interprets the chemistries in terms of water-rock interactions and volcanic fluxes, and derives a physical lake model that delineates the parameter-window for volcanic crater lake existence.
