Numerical Simulation of Reactive Flow in Hot Aquifers
This product, consisting of a CD-ROM and a book, deals with the numerical simulation of reactive transport in porous media using the simulation package SHEMAT/Processing SHEMAT. SHEMAT (Simulator for HEat and MAss Transport) is an easy-to-use, general-purpose reactive transport simulation code for a wide variety of thermal and hydrogeological problems in two or three dimensions. The book is a richly documented manual for users of this software which discusses in detail the coded physical and chemical equations. Thus, it provides the in-depth background required by those who want to apply the code for solving advanced technical and scientific problems. The enclosed companion CD-ROM contains the software and data for all of the case studies. The software includes user-friendly pre- and post-processors which make it very easy to set up a model, run it and view the results, all from one platform. Therefore, the software is also very suitable for academic or technical "hands-on" courses for simulating flow, transport of heat and mass, and chemical reactions in porous media. You can find a link to the updated software on springer.com .
Thermal Signatures of Heat Transfer Processes in the Earth’s Crust
This book deals with the signatures left by geodynamic proceses in the temperature field of the Earth's crust. First, it introduces briefly the established, indirect methods for interpreting the present termperature field and methods for reconstructing the thermal fields of the geological past. Then the spatial and temporal scales that are relevant for heat transport processes are described. This problem is discussed both theoretically and on the basis of data from the German Continental Deep Drilling Program (KTB). The climate of the last 200 years and the postglacial warming in central Europe are reconstructed on the basis of two sets of temperature data from shallow and deep boreholes. This book is written for an audience at an advanced undergraduate or graduate level with an understanding of basic physical principles. It avoids particular terminology, and special terms are introduced.
Encyclopedia of Solid Earth Geophysics
The past few decades have witnessed the growth of the Earth Sciences in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the planet that we live on. This development addresses the challenging endeavor to enrich human lives with the bounties of Nature as well as to preserve the planet for the generations to come. Solid Earth Geophysics aspires to define and quantify the internal structure and processes of the Earth in terms of the principles of physics and forms the intrinsic framework, which other allied disciplines utilize for more specific investigations. The first edition of the Encyclopedia of Solid Earth Geophysics was published in 1989 by Van Nostrand Reinhold publishing company. More tha...
Introduction to Geophysics
This textbook on geophysics is a translated and revised editon from its third German edition Einfhrung in die Geophysik - Globale physikalische Felder und Prozesse in der Erde. Explaining the technical terminology, it introduces students and the interested scientific public to the physics of the Earth at an intermediate level. In doing so, it goes far beyond a purely phenomenological description, but systematically explains the physical principles of the processes and fields which affect the entire Earth: Its position in space; its internal structure; its age and that of its rocks; earthquakes and how they are used in exploring Earths structure; its shape, tides, and isostatic equilibrium; E...
Conrad Gessner (1516–1565)
The Zurich polymath Conrad Gessner (1516–1565) is known as the founder of zoology and plant geography, the father of bibliography, editor of ancient texts, and author of one of the most important paleontological works of the sixteenth century. While preparing his extensive work on plants, he died unexpectedly and early from the plague. Gessner's interest in the natural sciences was rooted, on the one hand, in the new conception of nature that emerged with the Renaissance, and, on the other hand, in the creation theology of the Reformation, which considered nature as a second book of God's revelation next to the Bible. This richly illustrated and erudite biography is the first biography of Gessner to appear in English. This biography is a translation of Conrad Gessner (1516-1565): Universalgelehrter und Naturforscher der Renaissance (Basel: NZZ Libro, 2016).
Die mittelalterlichen Handschriften der Universitätsbibliothek Marburg
Beschrieben werden 102 Handschriften vom 9. bis zum fruhen 16. Jahrhundert, dazu 14 aus Bucheinbanden abgeloste Handschriftenfragmente, von denen die altesten bis in den Zeitraum zwischen 800 und 1100 zuruckreichen. Bis auf neun deutschsprachige Codices und funf Fragmente handelt es sichum lateinische Handschriften. In inhaltlicher Hinsicht steht die Theologie mit einem Anteil von etwa der Halfte im Vordergrund; etwa ein Drittel entfallt auf die Medizin und die Naturwissenschaften (Pharmazie, Alchemie, Astronomie), wahrend der Rest sich aus literarischen, philologischen, historischen und juristischen (insbesondere kanonistischen) Werken zusammensetzt. Als interessant verdient hervorgehoben zu werden, dass uber die Halfte des Bestandes nichthessischer Provenienz ist: 23 Handschriften stammen aus Zurich oder Umgebung und sind im 17. Jahrhundert uber den Zurcher Theologen und Alchemisten Raphael Egli (Iconius, gest. 1622) nach Marburg gelangt, und insgesamt 31 Handschriften sind ursprunglich in den norddeutschen Klostern Bursfelde und Corvey beheimatet gewesen und in napoleonischer Zeit nach Marburg uberfuhrt worden
Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Geological Media
Over the past 20 years, the concept of storing or permanently storing carbon dioxide in geological media has gained increasing attention as part of the important technology option of carbon capture and storage within a portfolio of options aimed at reducing anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases to the earths atmosphere. This book is structured into eight parts, and, among other topics, provides an overview of the current status and challenges of the science, regional assessment studies of carbon dioxide geological sequestration potential, and a discussion of the economics and regulatory aspects of carbon dioxide sequestration.
