Description

InTech, 2011. — 348 p. — ISBN: 9533077379, 9789533077376Geoscience is one of the most broad and rapidly developed fields in last three decades. With the rapid diffusion of geospace technologies and growing attention on global environmental and climate change, many new data, methods and models have been applied to various aspects of geoscience. The focus of this book is on the recent advances in data, analysis methods and their applications in geoscience and environmental change studies. One of the problems associated with such a rich selection of themes is the organization challenge of bringing together a variety of techniques, applications, study areas and data. After the review process, a collection of sixteen articles written by scholars from thirteen countries has been selected for this book. These articles cover a wide range of data analysis methods and modeling techniques, and provide an excellent profile of their applications in geology, geophysics, hydrology and environmental change in different regions of the world.
