Earth science is a broad field of study that encompasses many
different disciplines, including meteorology, climatology, and
geology. The importance of the earth sciences in predicting weather
and climate, tracking pollution, drilling for petroleum, evaluation
of soil, and monitoring ground water is paramount in modern
society. This new work covers a broad selection of topics in the
field of earth science, including using satellite remote sensing to
track pollution and weather patterns, monitoring for pre-earthquake
signals, using earthquakes to uncover new information about the
earth, desalination of ground water, and predicting deforestation.
Also featured are an overview and survey of the new revolution of
computer technology for studying the geosciences and a study of the
beneficial health emotional, mental, and physical effects of rocks,
minerals, and geologic processes.
