Cet auteur explore les liens complexes entre les océans de la Terre et son cycle du carbone. Son travail met en lumière les circulations fondamentales qui façonnent notre planète. En utilisant des méthodologies scientifiques avancées, il offre des perspectives profondes sur la dynamique des systèmes mondiaux. Le style d'écriture est analytique mais accessible, permettant aux lecteurs de saisir des processus environnementaux complexes.
This mathematical reference for theoretical physics employs common techniques and concepts to link classical and modern physics. It provides the necessary mathematics to solve most of the problems. Topics include the vibrating string, linear vector spaces, the potential equation, problems of diffusion and attenuation, probability and stochastic processes, and much more. 1972 edition.
Feeling Blue is a unique fan memoir. Struggling with the challenges of childhood, Dickie Denton finds refuge in Manchester City. For 30 years he carries the burden of this obsession through life and ultimately across the world, climaxing on a dramatic night in 2012. A deeply personal story that will move you to laugh and cry in equal measure.
Experts discuss how Greenland's warming climate—seen in its melting ice sheets and retreating glaciers—could affect the rest of the world. Viewed from above, Greenland offers an endless vista of whiteness interrupted only by scattered ponds of azure-colored melt water. Ninety percent of Greenland is covered by ice; its ice sheet, the largest outside Antarctica, stretches almost 1,000 miles from north to south and 600 miles from east to west. But this stark view of ice and snow is changing—and changing rapidly. Greenland's ice sheet is melting; the dazzling, photogenic display of icebergs breaking off Greenland's rapidly melting glaciers has become a tourist attraction. The Fate of Greenland documents Greenland's warming with dramatic color photographs and investigates episodes in Greenland's climate history for clues about what happens when climate change is abrupt rather than gradual. Greenland's climate past and present could presage our climate future. Abrupt climate change would be cataclysmic: the melting of Greenland's ice shelf would cause sea levels to rise twenty-four feet worldwide; lower Manhattan would be underwater and Florida's coastline would recede to Orlando. The planet appears to be in a period of acute climate instability, exacerbated by carbon dioxide we pour into the atmosphere. As this book makes clear, it is in all of our interests to pay attention to Greenland.
