Earth system geophysics Steven R Dickman

Material type: TextPublication details: Hoboken, NJ, [Washington, DC] Wiley ; AGU, American Geophysical Union 2025ISBN:
  • 9781119627951
DDC classification:
  • 553GP DIC.E
Summary: "Earth System geophysics is not just geophysics with the atmosphere and oceans included, neither is it just geophysics with topics common to multiple components of the Earth System, such as isostasy involving the atmosphere and oceans instead of the solid earth, or low seismic velocity zones in the oceans and atmosphere instead of the solid earth included. Earth System geophysics most fundamentally recognizes that the natural world is characterized by a different, more universal paradigm than plate tectonics: convection, which every component of the Earth system exhibits, and which is sure to exist beyond our planet and beyond our Solar System. This book discusses the geophysics of the Earth System rather than just the solid earth with an introduction to Solar System. Topics include the solar system, atmosphere, climate, gravity, seismology, Interior and Convection, heat flow, and Earth's core, with Geomagnetism concluding the book"-- Provided by publisher
