Heat-Mass Transfer and Geodynamics of the Lithosphere

Angebote / Angebote:

This volume is devoted to investigation of all aspects of heat-mass transfer processes at different scales and from various origins, as well as the formation and evolution of geological structures. These phenomena are linked to geophysical properties of rocks, geothermal resources, geothermics, fluid dynamics, stress-state of the lithosphere, deep geodynamics, plate tectonics, and seismicity, among others. The book consists of two main parts. The first concerns heat-mass transfer associated with natural and technogenic processes in the upper lithosphere. The second deals with geodynamics and seismicity. The collection of over 25 chapter from leading investigators in Russia is thus an important contribution to research on the lithosphere in connection with formation and evolution of geological structures, heat and mass transfer processes in the lithosphere and their connection with deep Earth geodynamics.Collects a range of research methodologies including application of modelling, seismic tomography, geological field works, geological-geophysical methods, and in situ measurements through instrumentation, Explains how a wide range of geological and geophysical phenomena arising in the Earth's lithosphere can be investigated under the umbrella of a common approach to heat-mass transfer processes, Includes the latest research by more than 60 leading scientists from Russia.
