Les enjeux cruciaux du rôle de l'océan dans le changement climatique ont été soulignés depuis longtemps déjà lors des conférences des Nations Unies. L'auteur, chercheur universitaire, propose dans ce cadre une réflexion nouvelle sur les plus récentes connaissances dans les domaines des Sciences de l'Océan et du Climat. Cette introduction synthétique à la Dynamique des Océans et du Climat se décline en deux tomes. Les marées océaniques, la circulation générale des océans, le Gulf Stream, la circulation thermohaline, les océans polaires, les tourbillons océaniques et les jets équatoriaux forment le matériau de base du tome 1 « Océans ». Le tome 2 « Climat » replace l'océan dans ses interactions avec l'atmosphère (et les glaces). La dynamique de l'atmosphère, la variabilité naturelle du climat, les climats du passé, le cycle du carbone, le lien entre le réchauffement climatique et la croissance actuelle des gaz à effets de serre sont abordés avec le même souci de simplicité et d'unité. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants en Sciences de la Terre et de l'Univers, en Océanographie, en Météorologie, en Physique et en Mathématiques, les outils nécessaires selon les parcours étant rappelés dans des annexes. Les passionnés par la mer, le climat et ceux qui veulent participer aux enjeux d'adaptation des sociétés humaines au changement climatique sans se laisser enfermer par des raisonnements simplistes y trouveront les notions et références scientifiques indispensables.

Despite advancements in scientific knowledge and technological capabilities, flood disasters continue to escalate in severity and extent due to the combination of increasingly intensive land use and the growing effects of climate change. To combat this challenge, it is imperative to advance fundamental and applied research that enables targeted interventions, reduces vulnerability, enhances resilience, and supports decision-makers in implementing effective flood risk-reduction policies. This comprehensive volume contributes to this critical objective by collating recent studies and cutting-edge methodologies that delve into understanding both existing and emerging flood risk drivers within the current climate change context. From investigating the role of constructed wetlands in stormwater management and evaluating flood risk in historic urban areas to analysing the non-stationarity of extreme rainfall and advancing torrential rainfall forecasts, no aspect is left unexplored. Additionally, this volume delves into examining flood damage on agricultural land and understanding post-fire debris flow susceptibility. By meticulously investigating these multifaceted dimensions, the book arms readers with actionable insights and knowledge.The editors hope this comprehensive resource serves as a beacon for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike. By equipping readers with the latest advancements and methodologies, we hope this book empowers them to better comprehend flood risks, navigate the complexities of climate change, and forge a path toward a more resilient and sustainable future.

"An expanded and updated edition of the original 'Geology of Egypt and Libya'. New chapters covering the geology of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco have been added to cover all of North Africa. Moreover, the petroleum systems of North Africa are now also discussed and new chapters on the history of geological exploration in Egypt and Libya have been added. This reference volume deals reviews the tectonic elements, the geology of the Pan-African Shield, and Phanerozoic geological evolution of the five North African countries, and describes most of the lithostratigraphic units. Including over 2500 literature references, this volume is an essential information source for geologists, geophysicists, engineers and senior students in geosciences and geological engineering in North Africa and the Middle East.

"An Introduction to Applied and Environmental Geophysics provides an introduction to the theory and practice of applied geophysics. The book covers a range of applications including mineral and hydrocarbon exploration but the greatest emphasis is on the use of geophysics in civil engineering, and in environmental and groundwater investigations. Since the publication of the 1st edition of An Introduction to Applied and Environmental Geophysics the field of applied and environmental geophysics has grown with significant developments in the subject. The new edition will build on the success of the 1st edition and will include the following key developments: Greater discussion of survey design and standards in geophysical investigations iInclusion of more marine geophysical and geotechical case histories e.g. cable/pipe laying Inclusion of examples of integrated case histories inclusion of new sections dealing with thermal imaging of landfills and radioactivity investigations More information of physio-chemical properties of geological, engineering and environmental materials Greater discussion of borehole techniques especially topography" "The book covers a range of applications including mineral and hydrocarbon exploration but the greatest emphasis is on the use of geophysics in civil engineering, and in environmental and groundwater investigations"

"Humanity's ever-increasing hunger for mineral raw materials, caused by a growing global population and ever increasing standards of living, has resulted in economic geology becoming a subject of urgent importance. This book provides a broad panorama of mineral deposits, covering their origin and geological characteristics, the principles of the search for ores and minerals, and the investigation of newly found deposits. Practical and environmental issues that arise during the life cycle of a mine and after its closure are addressed, with an emphasis on sustainable and "green" mining. The central scientific theme of the book is to place the extraordinary variability of mineral deposits in the frame of fundamental geological processes. The book is written for earth science students and practicing geologists worldwide. Professionals in administration, resource development, mining, mine reclamation, metallurgy, and mineral economics will also find the text valuable"
