Earth and environmental science
Earth and environmental science Stephen de Mora | Plymouth Marine Laboratory
A comprehensive and global review of the impact of ships on the environment, written by a team of international authors. Topics include pollutant discharges, non-pollutant impacts and international legislation. It is ideal for advanced students, researchers of environmental science, practitioners of maritime law and policy, and marine business. • An authoritative text including interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives, showing how scientific research can influence marine and maritime management, as well as international law • Technical language is kept to a minimum creating an easily accessible guide for readers who don’t specialise in environmental science • Provides the reader with an understanding of the research that helps to safeguard our seas from damage by shipping Cambridge Environmental Chemistry Series

This edition extends the theory for viscoelastic wave propagation to include head waves and general ray theory. The additions, not published elsewhere, significantly increase interest in the book for advanced university courses, research, and applications in seismology, exploration geophysics, engineering, solid mechanics, acoustics, and physics. • Includes numerical examples and problem sets, with solutions available online, to facilitate teaching and learning of important characteristics of anelastic wave propagation in more than one dimension • Contains general solutions for the fundamental time-harmonic wave propagation and ray-theory problems of seismology, geophysics, and engineering • Provides viscoelastic solutions, numerical results, and problem sets for P, SI, and SII body waves, reflection-refraction problems, Rayleigh- and Love-type surface waves, response of multiple layers, forward and inverse ray tracing problems, and head waves • Provides computation steps for ray-tracing computer algorithms to improve a variety of tomography inferred anelastic models such as those of the Earth’s deep interior and petroleum reserves June 2020 244 x 170 mm c.450pp 978-1-108-49569-1 Hardback c. £105.00 / c.

Clouds and Climate Climate Science’s Greatest Challenge Edited by A. Pier Siebesma | Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute
A comprehensive overview of research on clouds and their role in our present and future climate, covering theoretical, observational, and modelling perspectives. Containing end-of-chapter exercises and further reading sections, it is ideal for advanced students and researchers in climatology, atmospheric science, meteorology and climate change. • Describes our current capability to model cloud systems, ranging from theoretical conceptual models to operational parameterisations, and from zero dimensional energy balance models to three dimensional turbulence resolving models • Describes our current knowledge of how clouds interact with the largescale circulation and how they are perturbed by aerosols, land-surface and global warming • Each chapter concludes with a ‘further reading’ section and exercises allowing readers to test their knowledge August 2020 246 x 189 mm 418pp 978-1-107-06107-1 Hardback £64.99 / US$84.99
