A First Course in Turbulence
ISBN: 9780262536301
Publisher: The MIT Press
Pub Date: April 27, 2018
This is the first book specifically designed to offer the student a smooth transitionary course between elementary fluid dynamics (which gives only last-minute attention to turbulence) and the professional literature on turbulent flow, where an advanced viewpoint is assumed.
Harvesting the Biosphere
What We Have Taken from Nature
ISBN: 9780262528276
Publisher: The MIT Press
Pub Date: August 21, 2015
An interdisciplinary and quantitative account of human claims on the biosphere's stores of living matter, from prehistoric hunting to modern energy production.
A Vast Machine
Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming
ISBN: 9780262518635
Publisher: The MIT Press
Pub Date: February 8, 2013
The science behind global warming, and its history: how scientists learned to understand the atmosphere, to measure it, to trace its past, and to model its future.
Global Catastrophes and Trends
The Next Fifty Years
ISBN: 9780262518222
Publisher: The MIT Press
Pub Date: September 14, 2012
A wide-ranging, interdisciplinary look at global changes that may occur over the next fifty years—whether sudden and cataclysmic world-changing events or gradually unfolding trends.
CO2 Rising
The World's Greatest Environmental Challenge
ISBN: 9780262515214
Publisher: The MIT Press
Pub Date: September 24, 2010
An introduction to the global carbon cycle and the human-caused disturbances to it that are at the heart of global warming and climate change.
The Shadows of Consumption
Consequences for the Global Environment
ISBN: 9780262514927
Publisher: The MIT Press
Pub Date: September 24, 2010
An environmentalist maps the hidden costs of overconsumption in a globalized world by tracing the environmental consequences of five commodities.
Scientists Debate Gaia
The Next Century
ISBN: 9780262693691
Publisher: The MIT Press
Pub Date: August 29, 2008
Scientists Debate Gaia is a multidisciplinary reexamination of the Gaia hypothesis, which was introduced by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis in the early 1970s. The Gaia hypothesis holds that...
Tectonic Faults
Agents of Change on a Dynamic Earth
ISBN: 9780262083621
Publisher: The MIT Press
Pub Date: May 11, 2007
Scientists examine tectonic faulting on all scales—from seismic fault slip to the formation of mountain ranges—and discuss its connection to a wide range of global phenomena, including long-term climate change and evolution.
Solving Problems in Environmental Engineering and Geosciences with Artificial Neural Networks
ISBN: 9780262515726
Publisher: The MIT Press
Pub Date: January 1, 2003
This book, complete with exercises and ANN algorithms, illustrates how ANNs can be used in solving problems in environmental engineering and the geosciences, and provides the necessary tools to get started using these elegant and efficient new techniques.
