About the Book

This topical volume reviews applications of continuum mechanics to systems in geophysics and the environment. Part of the text is devoted to numerical simulations and modeling. The topics covered include soil mechanics and porous media, glacier and ice dynamics, climatology and lake physics, climate change as well as numerical algorithms. The book, written by well-known experts, addresses researchers and students interested in physical aspects of our environment.

Table of Contents:
I Applied Continuum Mechanics.- Numerical Investigation of Shock Waves in a Radiating Gas Described by a Variable Eddington Factor.- Anisotropic Fluids: From Liquid Crystals to Granular Materials.- Integration and Segregation in a Population — A Thermodynamicists’s View.- Asymptotic and Other Properties of Some Nonlinear Diffusion Models.- The Binary Mixtures of Euler Fluids: A Unified Theory of Second Sound Phenomena.- Continuously Distributed Control of Plates by Electric Networks with PZT Actuators.- II Soil Mechanics and Porous Media.- Hydraulic Theory for a Frictional Debris Flow on a Collisional Shear Layer.- The Beavers and Joseph Condition for Velocity Slip at the Surface of a Porous Medium.- Porous Convection, the Chebyshev Tau Method, and Spurious Eigenvalues.- Mechanics of Multiphase Porous Media — Application to Unsaturated Soils.- III Glacier and Ice Dynamics.- Modelling Iceberg Drift and Ice-Rafted Sedimentation.- Modelling the Flow of Glaciers and Ice Sheets.- Notes on Basic Glaciological Computational Methods and Algorithms.- Constitutive Modelling and Flow Simulation of Anisotropic Polar Ice.- Influence of Bed Topography on Steady Plane Ice Sheet Flow.- IV Climatology and Lake Physics.- Glacial Isostasy: Models for the Response of the Earth to Varying Ice Loads.- Arctic Sea Ice and Its Role in Climate Variability and Change.- The Role of Simple Models in Understanding Climate Change.- Comparing Different Numerical Treatments of Advection Terms for Wind-Induced Circulations in Lake Constance.

Review :
"[...] primarily intended for active researchers interested in geophysical modeling. [...] Although most of the material can be found in other places, this is a nice collection and should be a welcome addition to one’s personal library." (Applied Mechanics Review, 55/4, 2002)
