Description for Fractals in the Earth Sciences
Hardback. Reviews the many applications of fractal geometry used to study earth science patterns and processes. Designed as an introduction to this area of study, this title represents a spectrum of earth science disciplines where patterns have proven to be fractal over many orders of magnitude in time or space. Editor(s): Barton, Christopher C.; Pointe, Paul R.La. Num Pages: 265 pages, 46 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PDE; RBG; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 250 x 170 x 24. Weight in Grams: 1690.
Fractals have changed the way we understand and study nature. This change has been brought about mainly by the work of B. B. Mandelbrot and his book The Fractal Geometry of Nature. Now here is a book that collects articles treating fractals in the earth sciences. The themes chosen span, as is appropriate for a discourse on fractals, many orders of magnitude; including earthquakes, ocean floor topography, fractures, faults, mineral crystallinity, gold and silver deposition. There are also chapters on dynamical processes that are fractal, such as rivers, earthquakes, and a paper on self-organized criticality. Many of the chapters discuss ... Read more
