Buku "Geologi Umum" ini dirancang untuk memberikan pemahaman dasar yang komprehensif tentang geologi kepada para mahasiswa dan pembaca yang ingin mempelajari ilmu kebumian. Buku ini mencakup beragam topik penting dalam geologi, seperti pengertian dan cakupan geologi, jenis-jenis batuan (sedimen, beku, dan metamorf), serta mineral yang membentuk struktur bumi. Setiap bab disusun secara sistematis untuk membantu pembaca memahami bagaimana berbagai proses geologi bekerja dan berinteraksi dalam membentuk permukaan bumi dan lingkungan sekitarnya. Selain membahas dasar-dasar geologi, buku ini juga menyelami teori lempeng tektonik, yang menjelaskan pergerakan dan interaksi antara lempeng-lempeng bu...
Risiko kebakaran adalah potensi kerugian yang dapat terjadi akibat bencana kebakaran dalam suatu wilayah dan periode waktu tertentu. Risiko kebakaran meliputi berbagai dampak negatif, seperti kerusakan harta benda, kehilangan nyawa, gangguan terhadap kehidupan masyarakat, dan sebagainya. Tingkat risiko kebakaran ditentukan oleh perbandingan antara tingkat kerentanan suatu daerah dengan kapasitasnya untuk mengurangi kerentanan dan merespons kebakaran. Buku ini hadir sebagai jawaban bagi kegelisahan pemerintah dalam mencegah terjadinya risiko kebakaran di Kota Samarinda. Pasalnya, buku ini memberikan informasi strategis kepada pembaca, khususnya kepada pihak terkait, seperti daerah-daerah rawa...
This brief will provide a bridge in succinct form between the geostatistics textbooks and the computer manuals for `push-button' practice. It is becoming increasingly important for practitioners, especially neophytes, to understand what underlies modern geostatistics and the currently available software so that they can choose sensibly and draw correct conclusions from their analysis and mapping. The brief will contain some theory, but only that needed for practitioners to understand the essential steps in analyses. It will guide readers sequentially through the stages of properly designed sampling, exploratory data analysis, variography (computing the variogram and modelling it), followed by ordinary kriging and finally mapping kriged estimates and their errors. There will be short section on trend and universal kriging. Other types of kriging will be mentioned so that readers can delve further in the substantive literature to tackle more complex tasks.

Geostatistics for Engineers and Earth Scientists
Geostatistics is essential for environmental scientists. Weather and climate vary from place to place, soil varies at every scale at which it is examined, and even man-made attributes – such as the distribution of pollution – vary. The techniques used in geostatistics are ideally suited to the needs of environmental scientists, who use them to make the best of sparse data for prediction, and top plan future surveys when resources are limited. Geostatistical technology has advanced much in the last few years and many of these developments are being incorporated into the practitioner’s repertoire. This second edition describes these techniques for environmental scientists. Topics such as stochastic simulation, sampling, data screening, spatial covariances, the variogram and its modeling, and spatial prediction by kriging are described in rich detail. At each stage the underlying theory is fully explained, and the rationale behind the choices given, allowing the reader to appreciate the assumptions and constraints involved.
Comprehensively describes the nature and process of tsunami, for students and researchers, and general public.

Numerical Modeling of Water Waves, Second Edition covers all aspects of this subject, from the basic fluid dynamics and the simplest models to the latest and most complex, including the first-ever description of techniques for modeling wave generation by explosions, projectile impacts, asteroids, and impact landslides. The book comes packaged with a CD-ROM that contains the computer codes and movies generated by the author and his colleagues at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Mader's three-pronged approach--through text, computer programs, and animations--imparts a thorough understanding of new computational methods and provides the tools to put those methods to effective use.
"This book is a thorough overview of the key components, functions and actions that shape the physical appearance, operations, market appeal and ultimate success of a tourist destination. The book examines these issues with a specific emphasis on future sustainability in its broadest sense, in a rapidly changing world where the future will be redefined in ways that are not yet obvious but which must be speculated on and planned for." --Book Jacket.
