Treatise on Geophysics : Volume 10 Physics of Terrestrial Planets and Moons 10

Treatise on Geophysics, Second Edition, is a comprehensive and in-depth study of the physics of the Earth beyond what any geophysics text has provided previously. Thoroughly revised and updated, it provides fundamental and state-of-the-art discussion of all aspects of geophysics. A highlight of the second edition is a new volume on Near Surface Geophysics that discusses the role of geophysics in the exploitation and conservation of natural resources and the assessment of degradation of natural systems by pollution. Additional features include new material in the Planets and Moon, Mantle Dynamics, Core Dynamics, Crustal and Lithosphere Dynamics, Evolution of the Earth, and Geodesy volumes. New material is also presented on the uses of Earth gravity measurements. This title is essential for professionals, researchers, professors, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of Geophysics and Earth system science. Comprehensive and detailed coverage of all aspects of geophysics Fundamental and state-of-the-art discussions of all research topics Integration of topics into a coherent whole The Treatise on geophysics is the only comprehensive, state-of-the-art, and integrated summary of the present state of geophysics. Offering an array of articles from some of the top scientists around the world, this 11-volume work deals with all major parts of solid-Earth geophysics, including a volume on the terrestrial planets and moons in our Solar System. This major reference work will aid researchers, advanced undergrad and graduate students, as well as professionals in cutting-edge research Volume 1 - Deep Earth Seismology Volume 2 - Mineral Physics Volume 3 - Physical Geodesy Volume 4 - Earthquake Seismology Volume 5 - Geomagnetism Volume 6 - Crustal and Lithosphere Dynamics Volume 7 - Mantle Dynamics Volume 8 - Core Dynamics Volume 9 - Evolution of the Earth Volume 10 - Physics of Terrestrial Planets and Moons Volume 11 - Resources in the Near-Surface Earth
