Geophysics helps us understand how our planet works by connecting complex real-world phenomena with fundamental physical laws. It provides the tools, both conceptual and quantitative, for understanding interactions between the different components of the Earth System: the solid earth, oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere.
Earth System Geophysics is a comprehensive textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in the Earth sciences that uses Earth System Science as the framework for learning about geophysics.
About this volume:
- Presents convection as the underlying paradigm that drives the Earth System
- Uses math and physics in an accessible way to understand processes on and within the Earth
- Frames natural processes and events in terms of cause and effect
- Builds gradually from basic to advanced concepts and equations
- Develops quantitative skills through applied examples
- Heavily referenced, allowing students to pursue topics in greater depth
- Relevant for students from across the physical sciences and engineering
