| Title | Our Concept of the Earth : What We Know About Our Planet and How It Was Discovered |
| Author(s) | Boschi, Lapo |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XVI, 850 p. 206 illus., 16 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | With its new, unique look at the physics of the earth and at how this field got to where it is today, this is not a conventional textbook, but could easily be used as one. Designed to be understood by readers with no background in the earth sciences and only little previous knowledge of math and physics, Our Concept of the Earth differs from other geophysics books in that it places geo-scientific concepts in their historical context: ideas are presented in chronological order, according to the moment they emerged, one in response to the other, throughout the history of the discipline. In this way, the material covered in any given section of the book rests on simpler previously established concepts that are explained earlier in the book. The book is extremely self-contained and lends itself to being read from beginning to end, an experience that will captivate and even entertain a broad range of readers in academia and beyond |

| Title | Mathematical and Physical Fundamentals of Navigation and Positioning with Earth's Natural Fields |
| Author(s) | Yan, Lei;Li, An;Ji, Wanfeng;Li, Yang |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2024. |
| Description | XIX, 430 p. 263 illus., 110 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book covers various fields relevant to navigation, including Earth's magnetic field, gravity field, topography, celestial polarization field, electrostatic field, and relativistic celestial field effects. It introduces the principles and applications of navigation positioning using various natural field navigation and terrain-assisted methods, including gravity field navigation positioning, geomagnetic field navigation positioning, terrain-assisted navigation positioning, polarization field navigation positioning, electrostatic field navigation positioning, and relativistic effect verification. This book comprehensively introduces the algorithm principles and engineering implementation approaches, providing basic theoretical support for precision navigation positioning and deep space exploration. Based on the principles of gravity, geomagnetic, and terrain-assisted navigation positioning, corresponding to the universal gravitational force and Earth's rotation in Newtonian mechanics, it combines polarization field navigation positioning with the energy field effect of solar incident light waves, as well as electrostatic field navigation positioning with relativistic effect verification. This forms a relatively complete theoretical technical system and abstracts the mathematical essence of each link in the geomagnetic, gravity, and terrain navigation positioning systems. Taking mechanism exploration and algorithm implementation as the basic approach, it has confirmed the theoretical correctness and practical feasibility of natural field navigation positioning through verification with actual measurement data. This book is mainly targeted at professionals, researchers, students, and readers interested in deep space, deep Earth, deep sea, and polar exploration, as well as those working in the field of navigation positioning. It is of reference value in deep space, deep Earth, and deep sea exploration |

| Title | The Physics of Planet Earth and Its Natural Wonders |
| Author(s) | Livanov, Dmitry |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2023. |
| Description | X, 297 p. 250 illus., 244 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | From earthquakes to the northern lights and tsunamis to glacier movement, the author explains thousands of phenomena in the world around us. All of this is done using language that is simple and understandable, and at the same time this book does not try to deceive the reader, as materials of this nature often do, but uses exact physical formulas where they are needed. This book serves as an invaluable reference for physics teachers and should inspire high school students to study physics. Many of them will very likely be able to understand that riveting events and phenomena lie behind those very same formulas that just yesterday seemed so boring. This is an excellent and unique way of easily submerging oneself into the world of science and a non-stop intellectual challenge that lures the reader in much more than any game of chess. Sir Andre Geim, 2010 Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics |

| Title | Around the World in 80 Ways : Exploring Our Planet Through Maps and Data |
| Author(s) | Webb, Stephen |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2023. |
| Description | XI, 220 p. 134 illus., 80 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Around the World in 80 Ways offers a (sometimes opinionated) discussion of 80 data-driven maps of our planet. Taken together, the maps tell a story about the physical world; about the impact our species is having on the world; and about how people live in the world ??? or at least how we lived immediately before the emergence of Covid-19. The maps lie. All maps lie. But the origins of the deceptions are explained, the data sources are signposted and referenced, and the readers are shown how to create their own maps using freely available software. The reader is thus armed with the tools needed to explore local, national or world data ??? on topics ranging from science to society; environment to entertainment; wealth to wellbeing ??? a valuable skill in an age when certain politicians are happy to refer to ???alternative facts??? and media outlets deliver data visualizations that sometimes mislead as much as inform |

| Title | Influence of Fine Particles on the Liquefaction Properties of a Reference Sand : Application to the Seismic Response of a Sand Column on a Vibrating Table |
| Author(s) | Zhu, Zhehao |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2023. |
| Description | XXI, 192 p. 165 illus., 148 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Over the past thirty years, the liquefaction of sand containing a small amount of fine particles has become an engaging topic in the geotechnical community. Indeed, a great variety of field investigations revealed that the real liquefied soils are mainly composed of a host sand matrix and a small fraction of plastic or non-plastic fines. In this context, several series of monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests were performed to clarify the influence of these fine particles on the development of sand liquefaction. To get closer to in situ conditions, 1g shaking table tests were carried out with two different-sized model soil containers. The first one, small size, was essentially used to check the reconstitution and the saturation method. The second one, very large size, was manufactured to explore the sand liquefaction behaviour during base shaking in an almost actual engineering size. To numerically reproduce the sand liquefaction behaviour, the Dafalias model has been taken as an exampleand its input parameters were calibrated by an artificial intelligence method. An in-depth analysis of the proposed method was done with the elastoplastic theory |

| Title | Solar-Terrestrial Environmental Prediction |
| Author(s) | Kusano, Kanya |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2023. |
| Description | XXIV, 462 p. 1 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Powerful solar explosions, such as flares and coronal mass ejections, greatly disturb the electromagnetic environment around the Earth and the atmosphere. They may even impact various social systems???communications, positioning, electric power supply, aviation and activities in space. Such variations in the space environment, which can influence human activities, are called ???space weather.??? The space weather disaster caused by a solar explosion is a potential risk in modern society. To reduce and mitigate space weather impacts, it is essential to understand the structure and dynamics of the solar???terrestrial environment and to predict the variations. This book comprehensively describes space weather, from the basics of related sciences to the possible social impacts. It was compiled based on a national research project on solar???terrestrial environment prediction conducted in Japan recently. It consists of four parts: the linkage between space weather and society; the magnetosphere of the Earth and space weather prediction; solar storms and space weather prediction; and long-term prediction of solar cycle activity and climate impacts. Each chapter covers the basics and applications of each area, which helps readers gain a broad understanding of the subject matter throughout the book. In addition, readers are able to select and read the topics they are most interested in. It is especially valuable for undergraduate and graduate students and young researchers studying space weather and related topics, and is further helpful for experts in various industries related to space weather disasters. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The present version has been revised technically and linguistically by the authors in collaboration with a professional translator |

| Title | Physics of Earth???s Radiation Belts : Theory and Observations |
| Author(s) | Koskinen, Hannu E. J;Kilpua, Emilia K. J |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2022. |
| Description | XX, 272 p. 71 illus., 59 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This open access book serves as textbook on the physics of the radiation belts surrounding the Earth. Discovered in 1958 the famous Van Allen Radiation belts were among the first scientific discoveries of the Space Age. Throughout the following decades the belts have been under intensive investigation motivated by the risks of radiation hazards they expose to electronics and humans on spacecraft in the Earth???s inner magnetosphere. This textbook teaches the field from basic theory of particles and plasmas to observations which culminated in the highly successful Van Allen Probes Mission of NASA in 2012-2019. Using numerous data examples the authors explain the relevant concepts and theoretical background of the extremely complex radiation belt region, with the emphasis on giving a comprehensive and coherent understanding of physical processes affecting the dynamics of the belts. The target audience are doctoral students and young researchers who wish to learn about the physical processes underlying the acceleration, transport and loss of the radiation belt particles in the perspective of the state-of-the-art observations |
