Sandy beaches are the most abundant coastal systems world-wide, representing approximately 3/4 of the worlds' coastlines. In the last decades, these sensitive and dynamic ecosystems have been a target of an increasing human pressure, associated with an...

Aquifers are typically saturated regions of the subsurface that produce an economically feasible quantity of water to a well or spring (eg: sand and gravel or fractured bedrock often make good aquifer materials). Most land areas on Earth have some form...

The lithosphere is the outer solid part of the earth, including the crust and uppermost mantle. The lithosphere is about 100 km thick, although its thickness is age dependent (older lithosphere is thicker).The lithosphere below the crust is brittle...

Fault detection and identification (FDI) play a fundamental role in most modern industrial systems and processes. They are essential in ensuring safe and reliable operation. In this book, Chapter One and Chapter Two discuss general systems and the use of...

Global climate during the Quaternary has been deeply influenced by glacial-interglacial oscillations. Since the onset of glaciations, the Earth has experienced alternations between warm and stable climatic periods coinciding with interglacials, and cold...
