JAIN, Sreepat
Fundamentals of physical geology / Sreepat Jain. - New Delhi : Springer, cop. 2014. - XX, 488
p. : il., gráf., tab., mapas; 25 cm. - Physical Geology is a vast subject and it is not possible to
cover all aspects in one book. This book does not invent the wheel but merely put together sets
of updated but concise material on Physical Geology with lots of illustrations. All illustrations are
created by hand and give a real classroom feel to the book. Students or readers can easily
reproduce them by hand. This is a book, where a diagram says it all. The book is divided into
four parts. The first part "The Solar System and Cosmic Bodies" deals with elements of our
Solar System and the cosmic bodies around it (like meteorites, asteroids, etc.). The second part
"The Earth Materials" deals with Earth and its internal structure. The third part "The Hydrologic
System" is more exhaustive and deals with the hydrological system of the Earth including
Weathering and Mass Wasting, Streams, Groundwater, Karst, Glaciers, Oceans and Aeolian
Processes and Landforms. The fourth and the final part "The Tectonic System" deals with
different aspects of Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes and Volcanoes. (Publisher description)

LANDSLIDE HAZARD AND RISK
Landslide hazard and risk / eds. Thomas Glade, Malcolm Anderson e Michael J. Crozier. Chichester : John Wiley & Sons, reprint. 2007. - XXI, 802 p. : il., gráf., tab., mapas; 26 cm. With the increasing need to take an holistic view of landslide hazard and risk, this book
overviews the concept of risk research and addresses the sociological and psychological issues
resulting from landslides. Its integrated approach offers understanding and ability for concerned
organisations, landowners, land managers, insurance companies and researchers to develop
risk management solutions. Global case studies illustrate a variety of integrated approaches,
and a concluding section provides specifications and contexts for the next generation of process
models. (Publisher description)

(with focuses in hydrology, hydrogeology, and environmental science), and as a reference work
for professional researchers. This interdisciplinary text weaves important methods and
applications from the disciplines of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, biology, and
environmental science, introducing you to the mathematical modeling and contaminant flow of
groundwater. New to the Second Edition: New chapter on subsurface heat flow and geothermal
systems; Expanded content on well construction and design, surface water hydrology,
groundwater/ surface water interaction, slug tests, pumping tests, and mounding analysis;
Updated discussions of groundwater modeling, calibration, parameter estimation, and
uncertainty; Free software tools for slug test analysis, pumping test analysis, and aquifer
modeling; Lists of key terms and chapter contents at the start of each chapter; Expanded endof-chapter problems, including more conceptual questions. (Publisher description)

SAUTER, Vicki Lynn, 1955-....
Decision support systems for business intelligence / Vicki L. Sauter. - 2nd ed.. - Hoboken, New
Jersey : John Wiley & Sons, cop. 2010. - XVI, 453 p. : il., gráf., tab., mapas; 26 cm. Informação complementar :
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9780470634431.fmatter/summary. - Computer-based
systems known as decision support systems (DSS) play a vital role in helping professionals
across various fields of practice understand what information is needed, when it is needed, and
in what form in order to make smart and valuable business decisions. Providing a unique
combination of theory, applications, and technology, Decision Support Systems for Business
Intelligence, Second Edition supplies readers with the hands-on approach that is needed to
understand the implications of theory to DSS design as well as the skills needed to construct a
DSS. This new edition reflects numerous advances in the field as well as the latest related
technological developments. By addressing all topics on three levels-general theory,
implications for DSS design, and code development-the author presents an integrated analysis
of what every DSS designer needs to know. This Second Edition features: Expanded coverage
of data mining with new examples; Newly added discussion of business intelligence and
transnational corporations; Discussion of the increased capabilities of databases and the
significant growth of user interfaces and models; Emphasis on analytics to encourage DSS
builders to utilize sufficient modeling support in their systems; A thoroughly updated section on
data warehousing including architecture, data adjustment, and data scrubbing; Explanations
and implications of DSS differences across cultures and the challenges associated with
transnational systems. Each chapter discusses various aspects of DSS that exist in real-world
applications, and one main example of a DSS to facilitate car purchases is used throughout the
entire book. Screenshots from JavaScript® and Adobe® ColdFusion are presented to
demonstrate the use of popular software packages that carry out the discussed techniques, and
a related Web site houses all of the book's figures along with demo versions of decision support
packages, additional examples, and links to developments in the field. Decision Support
Systems for Business Intelligence, Second Edition is an excellent book for courses on
information systems, decision support systems, and data mining at the advanced
undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a practical reference for professionals
working in the fields of business, statistics, engineering, and computer technology. (Publisher

Risks, and Disasters provides you with the latest scientific developments in volcano and
volcanic research, including causality, impacts, preparedness, risk analysis, planning, response,
recovery, and the economics of loss and remediation. It takes a geoscientific approach to the
topic while integrating the social and economic issues related to volcanoes and volcanic
hazards and disasters. Throughout the book case studies are presented of historically relevant
volcanic and seismic hazards and disasters as well as recent catastrophes, such as Chileâs
Puyehue volcano eruption in June 2011. (Publisher description)

GEOMORPHOMETRY
Geomorphometry : concepts, software, applications / ed. by Tomislav Hengl e Hannes I. Reuter.
- Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2009. - XXIX, 765 p. : il., graf., org., tab., mapas; 25 cm. (Developments in soil science ; 33). - Geomorphometry is the science of quantitative landsurface analysis. It draws upon mathematical, statistical, and image-processing techniques to
quantify the shape of earth's topography at various spatial scales. The focus of
geomorphometry is the calculation of surface-form measures (land-surface parameters) and
features (objects), which may be used to improve the mapping and modelling of landforms to
assist in the evaluation of soils, vegetation, land use, natural hazards, and other information.
This book provides a practical guide to preparing Digital Elevation Models (DEM) for analysis
and extracting land-surface parameters and objects from DEMs through a variety of software. It
further offers detailed instructions on applying parameters and objects in soil, agricultural,
environmental and earth sciences. This is a manual of state-of-the-art methods to serve the
various researchers who use geomorphometry.Soil scientists will use this book to further learn
the methods for classifying and measuring the chemical, biological, and fertility properties of
soils and gain a further understaing of the role of soil as a natural resource. Geologists will find
value in the instruction this book provides for measuring the physical features of the soil such as
elevation, porosity, and structure which geologists use to predict natural disasters such as
earthquakes, volcanoes, and flooding. (Publisher description)
