MIT Geophysical Analysis Group (Scientist and Science, #5)
by Dr Enders Anthony Robinson
Reichard's Environmental Geology third edition continues to emphasize how humans interact with the environment within a geological context. The writing style holds the interest of non-major students and includes recent, relatable geologic events. Each chapter incorporates student activities and discussion questions designed to give students a personal connection to the topic.
Probabilistic Safety Assessment for Seismic Events (IAEA TECDOC)
Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) is considered to be an important tool for assessing the safety of nuclear installations (typically used for safety assessment of nuclear power plants) in relation to potential initiating events that can be caused by random component failure and human error, as well as internal and external hazards. The purpose of seismic PSAs performed on nuclear installations is to provide risk insights related to their seismic robustness. The methodology for seismic safety...

Geophysical Inverse Theory and Regularization Problems (Methods in Geochemistry and Geophysics, #36)
by Mikhail Semenovich Zhdanov and Michael S. Zhdanov
This book presents state-of-the-art geophysical inverse theory developed in modern mathematical terminology. The book brings together fundamental results developed by the Russian mathematical school in regularization theory and combines them with the related research in geophysical inversion carried out in the West. It presents a detailed exposition of the methods of regularized solution of inverse problems based on the ideas of Tikhonov regularization, and shows the different forms of their a...

This book includes important information on how to find the springs and what to expect when you get there, as well as the history of the sites.
When Indonesia's Mount Tambora erupted in 1815, it unleashed the most destructive wave of extreme weather the world has witnessed in thousands of years. The volcano's massive sulfate dust cloud enveloped the Earth, cooling temperatures and disrupting major weather systems for more than three years. Communities worldwide endured famine, disease, and civil unrest on a catastrophic scale. Here, Gillen D'Arcy Wood traces Tambora's global and historical reach: how the volcano's three-year climate cha...
