Description
xThis title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
Earth science is a broad field of study that encompasses many different disciplines, including meteorology, climatology, and geology. The importance of the earth sciences--in predicting weather and climate, tracking pollution, drilling for petroleum, evaluating soil, and monitoring ground water--is paramount in modern society. This new work covers a broad selection of topics, including use of satellite remote sensing to track pollution and weather patterns, monitoring for pre-earthquake signals, using earthquakes to uncover new information about the earth, desalination of ground water, predicting deforestation, and much more.
