This wide-ranging new volume collects expert research from around the world to offer the reader an up-to-date picture of the state of the field in geoscience, as well as an exciting glimpse of the newest innovations and future possibilities. In the first part, new achievements are showcased. Topics include the latest work on the causes of the ice ages and research suggesting the origin of HED meteorites in the spalling of Mercury. In the second part, new work on fractal analysis and chaos in geosciences is presented. Chapters discuss topics including analysis of the fractal dimension of the wind speed and non-integer dimensions in climate and paleo-climate research. In the third part, advances in data, methods and models are considered through applications include 3D seismic sedimentology, new-generation geological modelling for reservoir characterization and the development of sediment yield prediction equations. Finally, in part four, advanced geoscience remote sensing is explored through topics including the use of magnetic methods and the HF radar network design applied to the South China Sea. This well-organized and thoroughly researched book will appeal to students and researchers seeking to extend and update their knowledge in geoscience.
