Book Synopsis MOUNTAIN GEOMORPHOLOGY by : Phil Owens
Download or read book MOUNTAIN GEOMORPHOLOGY written by Phil Owens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountains represent one of the most inspiring and attractive natural features on the surface of the earth. Visually, they dominate the landscape. However, the increasing realization of the fragility of mountain areas because of changes in land use, management and climate, combined with an understanding of their importance for water and other natural resources, has resulted in a growing interest in mountain environments in recent years. Hence, Mountain Geomorphology represents a timely and unique contribution to the literature. Written by a team of international experts, this book is divided into three sections, which consider historical, functional and applied mountain geomorphology from both global and local perspectives. Historical mountain geomorphology focuses on the evolution of landforms. Functional mountain geomorphology emphasises the interaction between processes and landforms, while applied mountain geomorphology concerns the interrelationships between geomorphological processes and society. Mountain Geomorphology is a valuable source of information for students studying mountain geomorphology, and also for academics and research scientists interested in mountain environments.
Download or read book Poás Volcano written by Franco Tassi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-16 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive description of the volcanological, petrological and geochemical features of the Poás Volcano (Costa Rica), one of the most active volcanic systems in Central America and part of the Central America Volcanic Arc (CAVA). Poás Volcano hosts a unique sulfur lake, which actually is one of the world's most acidic lakes, and has experienced molten sulfur eruptions. Past investigations, current monitoring activities and planned programs of investigation into lessening of the volcanic hazard are reported here. Specific sections of the monograph will be devoted to the impact of this volcano on the social, agricultural and industrial activities in the area. Legends and popular traditions related to this volcano will be described in the last chapter to round up a complete scientific review on this unique volcanic system.
Book Synopsis Geomorphological Hazards and Disaster Prevention by : Irasema Alcántara-Ayala
Download or read book Geomorphological Hazards and Disaster Prevention written by Irasema Alcántara-Ayala and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-04 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human activities have had a huge impact on the environment and landscape, through industrialisation and land-use change, leading to climate change, deforestation, desertification, land degradation, and air and water pollution. These impacts are strongly linked to the occurrence of geomorphological hazards, such as floods, landslides, snow avalanches, soil erosion, and others. Geomorphological work includes not only the understanding but the mapping and modelling of Earth's surface processes, many of which directly affect human societies. In addition, geomorphologists are becoming increasingly involved with the dimensions of societal problem solving, through vulnerability analysis, hazard and risk assessment and management. The work of geomorphologists is therefore of prime importance for disaster prevention. An international team of geomorphologists have contributed their expertise to this volume, making this a scientifically rigorous work for a wide audience of geomorphologists and other Earth scientists, including those involved in environmental science, hazard and risk assessment, management and policy.

Book Synopsis The Eruption of Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat from 2000 to 2010 by : G. Wadge
Download or read book The Eruption of Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat from 2000 to 2010 written by G. Wadge and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1995 to present eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano on Montserrat is one of the most important and best-studied eruptions of an explosive andesitic volcano. This volume presents scientific findings from the period between 2000 and 2010; it follows on from Memoir 21, which focused on the early years of activity between 1995 and 1999. In addition to descriptions and analysis of the growth, collapse and explosions associated with lava domes, there are papers on the deformation of the volcano caused by the deep magma, the petrology and geochemistry of the lavas and associated gases. Of particular note are: an overview of the insights into the deep structure of the volcano that resulted from a major international seismic tomography experiment; and an analysis of the quantitative risk assessment process that has run now for most of the eruption, the longest such continuous assessment in the world.
Book Synopsis Neotectonism of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica by : Eli Joseph LaFromboise
Download or read book Neotectonism of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica written by Eli Joseph LaFromboise and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific margin of Costa Rica forms the leading edge of the Caribbean plate along the southern Middle America Trench, where the Cocos plate subducts northeastward at ~9 cm/yr. Steep subduction of older, smooth Cocos seafloor beneath northern Costa Rica transitions abruptly into shallow subduction of younger, rough, hotspot-thickened crust beneath southern Costa Rica. This transition in seafloor morphology originates at the Cocos-Nazca-Pacific Triple Junction and intersects the trench at the southern end of Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula, profoundly influencing upper plate morphotectonics and regional seismicity. South of this transition, the subducting Cocos plate exhibits rugged vertical relief where a series of seamounts along the flank of the aseismic Cocos Ridge collides with the overriding plate resulting in frequent moderate magnitude earthquakes (Mw ≤ 6.5). North of the transition, the Nicoya Peninsula forms a broad emergent portion of the northern Costa Rica forearc located

Book Synopsis Landscapes and Landforms of Italy by : Mauro Soldati
Download or read book Landscapes and Landforms of Italy written by Mauro Soldati and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with the most striking landscapes and landforms of Italy. Attention is given to landform diversity and landscape evolution through time which has been controlled by very diverse geological conditions and dramatic climate changes that have characterized the Italian peninsula and islands since the end of the last glaciation. In addition, various examples of human impact on the landscape are presented. Landscapes and Landforms of Italy contains more than thirty case studies of a multitude of Italian geographical landmarks. The topics and sites described in this book range from the Alpine glaciers to the Etna and Vesuvius volcanoes, taking into account the most representative fluvial, coastal, gravity-induced, karst and structural landscapes of the country. Chapters on the geomorphological landmarks of the cities of Rome and Venice are also included. The book provides the readers with the opportunity to explore the variety of Italian landscapes and landforms through informative texts illustrated with several color maps and photos. This book will be relevant to scientists, scholars and any readers interested in geology, physical geography, geomorphology, landscape tourism, geoheritage and environmental protection.
