Joseph Pedlosky's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics is a seminal text that delves into the principles governing fluid motion in geophysical systems, including the atmosphere and oceans. The book offers a thorough integration of physics and mathematics to explain large-scale fluid dynamics influenced by Earth's rotation and density stratification. Key topics include the fundamental equations of motion,…
This volume, written by the Hazards Science Team of the International Year of Planet Earth, brings together some of the most influential international scientists dealing with Natural Hazards and Society s response to natural hazards.
