Processes in GeoMedia-Volume IX

This book includes new results of theoretical and experimental studies of various scales of the processes occurring on the earth including the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Intensive development of research in these areas is due to several factors: 1) the widespread introduction of computer technology, allowing the calculation of complex phenomena, 2) the invention and improvement of a new generation of geophysical instruments such as remote observation systems based on ships, aircraft, and satellites, providing a large amount of data to objectively reflect a broad picture of the processes, 3) the development of measurement techniques, creating opportunities for controllable and reproducible laboratory data acquisition for generation of new ideas and concepts.

The book:

1. Enriches the understanding of the geophysical processes taking place in various environments (lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere)
2. Is devoted to the important issues that humanity is facing, including the preservation of nature and the energy provision
3. Suggests new approaches to development of various energy sources on the planet
4. Includes the results of theoretical and experimental studies on the development of the geomechanical approaches for hydrocarbon production
5. Contains the results of recent research in the field of interactions of the lithosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere of various scales, energy exchange of the atmosphere and the ocean, including changes under anthropogenic influences
6. Proposes new physical and mathematical models of processes occurring in the environment, both natural and anthropogenic, as well as elaboration of existing ones

This collected research is a valuable resource for specialists working in the oil, gas, and engineering industry to improve their understandings of the field.
