The book discusses the ideas and creates a framework for building
toward a theory of paleoclimate. Using the rich and mounting array
of observational evidence of climatic changes from geology,
geochemistry, and paleontology, Saltzman offers a dynamical
approach to the theory of paleoclimate evolution and an expanded
theory of climate.
This series provides a venue for longer reviews of current advances
in geophysics. Written at a level accessible to graduate students,
the articles serve to broaden knowledge of various fields and may
be useful in courses and seminars.
Advances in Geophysics, Vol. 40 systematically compares many of the
currently used statistical approaches to time series analysis and
modeling to evaluate each method's robustness and application to
geophysical datasets. This volume tackles the age-old problem of
how to evaluate the relative roles of deterministic versus
stochastic processes (signal vs noise) in their observations. The
book introduces the fundamentals in sections titled "1.2 What is a
Time Series? " and "1.3 How is a Time Series Quantified?," before
diving into Spectral Analysis, Semivariograms, Rescaled-Range
Analysis and Wavelet Analysis. The second half of the book applies
their self-affine analysis to a number of geophysical time series
(historical temperature records, drought hazard assessment,
sedimentation in the context of hydrocarbon bearing strata,
variability of the Earth's magnetic field).
From the Foreword:
From the Reviews of Previous Volumes
This monograph provides an overview of the progress made in illuminating the properties of deep slabs and the surrounding mantle, since the introduction of the plate tectonics model to the earth sciences 25 years ago.;The thermal and chemical characteristics of the subducted lithosphere are determined through thermal and petrological modelling, with seismological observations providing critical constraints on model parameters. Down-wellings of the oceanic lithosphere play a critical role in plate tectonics by recycling to the mantle material that has risen at mid-ocean ridges and cooled at the Earth's surface.;To assist future efforts in developing detailed thermal and petrological models of oceanic lithosphere down-wellings, this volume includes a review of seismological observations and models. A range of seismological procedures are considered, from travel time constraints on seismic velocity anomalies in the subducting lithospheric slabs, to wave conversions and reflections of internal and external slab boundaries. A reference list is included for earth science researchers and seismological specialists which lists most of the critical literature on slab structure.
