Model-based Geostatistics (Springer Series in Statistics)
Original price was: $199.00.$159.20Current price is: $159.20.Add to cartThe authors have written an expository text, emphasizing statistical methods and applications rather than the underlying mathematical theory. Analyses of datasets from a range of scientific contexts feature prominently, and simulations are used to illustrate theoretical results. Readers can reproduce most of the computational results in the book by using the authors’ R-based software package, geoR, whose usage is illustrated in a computation section at the end of each chapter.
The book assumes a working knowledge of classical and Bayesian methods of inference, linear models, and generalized linear models, but does not require previous exposure to spatial statistical models or methods. The authors have used the material in MSc-level statistics courses.

Physical Chemistry of Magmas
Original price was: $129.00.$103.20Current price is: $103.20.Add to cartPhysical Chemistry of Magmas investigates the properties, structure, and phase relationships of silicate melts with invited contributions from an international team of experts. Data and some rules for estimating the properties and structures of melts, as well as the implications of the physical chemistry of silicate liquids to igneous petrology, are presented. The second section then focuses on phase relationships, with particular attention on the application of experimental and theoretical petrology to modeling the origin of certain magmas.

Physicochemical and Environmental Plant Physiology
Original price was: $99.95.$79.96Current price is: $79.96.Add to cart“Physiology,” which is the study of the function of cells, organs, and organisms, derives from the Latin physiologia, which in turn comes from the Greek physi- or physio-, a prefix meaning natural, and logos, meaning reason or thought. Thus physiology suggests natural science and is now a branch of biology dealing with processes and activities …

Primary Succession and Ecosystem Rehabilitation
Original price was: $215.99.$172.79Current price is: $172.79.Add to cartThis volume provides the first comprehensive summary of how plant, animal, and microbial communities develop under the harsh conditions following dramatic natural disturbances. The authors examine the basic principles that determine ecosystem development and apply the general rules to the urgent practical need for promoting the reclamation of damaged lands. Written for ecologists concerned with …

The Science of Disasters: Climate Disruptions, Heart Attacks, and Market Crashes
Original price was: $159.00.$127.20Current price is: $127.20.Add to cartAre there universal laws governing the persistence of weather, and is it possible to predict climate transitions as generated by natural or man-made perturbations? How can one quantify the roller-coaster dynamics of stock markets and anticipate mega-crashes? Can we diagnose the health condition of patients from heartbeat time-series analysis, which may even form the basis for infarct prevention? This book tackles these questions by applying advanced methods from statistical physics and related fields to all types of non-linear dynamics prone to disaster. The transdisciplinary analysis is organized in some dozen review articles written by world-class scientists.

Transport Modeling in Hydrogeochemical Systems
Original price was: $104.00.$83.20Current price is: $83.20.Add to cartIn the world of reality, we are often faced with describing and predicting the results of experiments. A mathematical model is a set of equations that encapsulates reality; it is a caricature of the real physical system that aids in our understanding of real phenomena. A good model extracts the essential features of the problem and lays out, in a simple manner, those processes and interactions that are important. By design, mathematical models should have predictive capability.
