Geophysical Sciences

The Springer-Praxis Geophysical Sciences programme encompasses the very latest observations, research results, techniques and discoveries in the exploration of our Planet Earth.

Topics include:

• monitoring volcanoes and earthquakes
• mountain geomorphology and debris flows
• plate tectonics
• ocean waves
• currents and circulation
• global land-ice measurements from space
• polar remote sensing and monitoring of the polar seas
• underwater acoustics
• algal blooms
• pollution

The books are well illustrated with line diagrams and photographs throughout, with targeted use of colour for scientific interpretation and understanding. They feature extensive references and bibliographies, glossaries and appendices.

The books are written for a readership of advanced undergraduate students, postgraduates and researchers in planetary science, geophysics, geophysical sciences, remote sensing, and oceanography.
