Glacial Sedimentary Processes and Products
Associating ice masses with the transport and deposition ofsediments has long formed a central theme in glaciology and glacialgeomorphology. The reason for this focus is clear, in that icemasses are responsible for much of the physical landscape whichcharacterizes the Earth's glaciated regions. This association alsoholds at a variety of scales, for example, from the grain-sizecharacteristics of small-scale moraines to the structuralarchitecture of large-scale, glacigenic sedimentary sequences inboth surface and subaqueous environments. This volume brings numerous state-of-the-art research contributionstogether, each relating to a different physical setting, spatialscale, process or investigative technique. The result is a diverseand interesting collection of papers by glaciologists, numericalmodellers and glacial geologists, which are all linked by the themeof investigating the relationships between the behaviour of icemasses and their resulting sedimentary sequences.
Geodynamics and Earth Tides Observations from Global to Micro Scale
This volume treats the key aspects that must be known when dealing with continuous space geodetic or terrestrial geodetic observations. The signals of Earth core resonance are discussed, as well as tidal effects on Earth polar motion and on earthquake triggering. Hydrologic loading, be it ocean tides or subsurface water flows, is discussed. These signals compete with crustal deformation observations of earthquakes (e.g., Gorkha 2015) during interseismic periods, and on volcanoes (Elbrus, Caucasus). The instrumentation that is covered includes superconducting gravimeters, continuous seafloor gravimeters, interferometric tilt and strain meters, and GNSS networks. The articles give an up-to-date account of research in which the Earth tides are a benchmark signal for the sophisticated instrumentation mounted on satellites or the surface, observing time-variable signals of an evolving Earth. Scientists studying the earthquake cycle and geodetic monitoring will find useful material. For students in the geosciences, the collection offers a good overview of the broad spectrum of topics related to the Earth geodetic monitoring.
Crust-Mantle and Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundaries
This 10-chapter volume encompasses contributions from a wide spectrum of Earth science disciplines, including geophysics, geodynamics, geochemistry, and petrology, to provide an overview of the nature and evolution of the crust-mantle and lithosphere-asthenosphere boundaries in different tectonic settings, combining studies that exploit different types of data and interpretative approaches. The integration of geochemical, geophysical, and geodynamic data sets and their interpretation provides a state-of-the-art summary of current understanding, and will serve as a blueprint for future research activities.
Pythonic Geodynamics
This book addresses students and young researchers who want to learn to use numerical modeling to solve problems in geodynamics. Intended as an easy-to-use and self-learning guide, readers only need a basic background in calculus to approach most of the material. The book difficulty increases very gradually, through four distinct parts. The first is an introduction to the Python techniques necessary to visualize and run vectorial calculations. The second is an overview with several examples on classical Mechanics with examples taken from standard introductory physics books. The third part is a detailed description of how to write Lagrangian, Eulerian and Particles in Cell codes for solving linear and non-linear continuum mechanics problems. Finally the last one address advanced techniques like tree-codes, Boundary Elements, and illustrates several applications to Geodynamics. The entire book is organized around numerous examples in Python, aiming at encouraging the reader to le arn by experimenting and experiencing, not by theory.

Introduction to Numerical Geodynamic Modelling
This user-friendly reference for students and researchers presents the basic mathematical theory, before introducing modelling of key geodynamic processes.
La splendida
Lo straordinario decennio in cui Venezia sostituisce l'oro al ferro: entra nel 1500 da grande potenza, tutta Europa coalizzata la sconfigge militarmente, ma trionfa come maestra delle arti e della bellezza. Nasce un mito. I colori della pittura, gli ori della basilica di San Marco, gli splendidi palazzi affacciati sul Canal Grande e ciò che, ancora oggi, rende unica la città lagunare furono gli ingredienti di una politica di potenza che non passò per le armi, ma per la bellezza. Sta in queste compresenze, nel serrato susseguirsi di luci, ombre e, talvolta, notti profonde, che l'autore si addentra, facendo sperimentare a chi lo segue la complessità della storia. Il libro consente così di inoltrarsi in una città viva, a tratti convulsa, che in un decennio subì trasformazioni radicali. Matteo Al Kalak, "Avvenire" Marzo Magno in La splendida gonfia le vele dell'orgoglio veneziano e rivendica il lascito che Venezia ha donato al mondo. Un mix di arte, tecnica e civiltà. Paolo Marcolin, "Il Piccolo"
