A revolutionary account of Earth as a living organism a finely tuned planetary network made up of all living and non living things which provides an unusual degree of hope for its future

Este libro es una obra colectiva, al igual que nuestra historia, la de los estudios de física en la Universidad de Granada, cuyos 50 años de existencia se celebran en 2024. Hay motivos para hacerlo, sin caer en la complacencia, sirviendo como acicate para continuar construyendo universidad y conocimiento. Se hace un recorrido por algunas de las cuestiones principales que definen estos estudios en nuestra Universidad: como han sido sus cimientos, la Fisica que se hacia antes de su implantacion, las raices que lo nutrieron, pero tambien las ramificaciones tan importantes a las que ha dado lugar. Los departamentos responsables de la docencia han ido evolucionando, asi como los grupos de investigacion que los conforman. Docencia e investigacion, investigacion y docencia, una relacion, base del prestigio de la UGR, que ademas se ve respaldada en este caso por los centros de investigacion en Fisica que existen en Granada, con los que siempre se colabora estrechamente. Era el momento de hacer este libro, de hacer el esfuerzo en recopilar una informacion que probablemente se hubiera perdido en poco tiempo.

Magnetic traps are present in several science experiments, especially in those in which the aim is to isolate an object from the laboratory environment, to study its interaction with some element, asis the case of the study of superfluidity, where recentl

This book discusses in detail the facts and findings related to the X Press Pearl container vessel accident that occurred in May 2021 off the coast of Colombo Sri Lanka The ship was carrying a large consignment of chemicals and diverse hazardous materials that caused a disastrous and vast environmental and social catastrophe in the region Through many case studies accumulated knowledge and experiences the authors discuss the accident response risk mitigation investigation and damage assessment activities from the very onset of the accident It helps researchers and regulators understand the facts of this unique marine chemical accident and to formulate necessary future regulations as well as to develop robust safety and sustainability management systems and safety cultures Features Written by authorities who led the team involved in accident response and damage assessment Focuses on identifying plausible root causes pitfalls in accident response and weaknesses in current regulatory and management protocols Delivers in depth understanding of a unique marine chemical accident to help formulate necessary future policies and regulations related to such disasters Includes many case studies related to the accident illustrated with photos and figures that are tru

Data assimilation is considered a key component of numerical ocean model development and new data acquisition strategies The basic concept of data assimilation is to combine real observations via estimation theory with dynamic models Related methodologies exist in meteorology geophysics and engineering Of growing importance in physical oceanography data assimilation can also be exploited in biological and chemical oceanography Such techniques are now recognized as essential to understand the role of the ocean in a global change perspective The book focuses on data processing algorithms for assimilation current methods for the assimilation of biogeochemical data strategy of model development and the design of observational data for assimilation
