With 23 articles and a prefatory chapter, this is the largest volume in the series to date. Topics range from climate change and geological aspects of public health to the application of quantum mechanics in geochemistry. The topics of each volume in the series now span well beyond the solid-Earth and planetary disciplines that previously dominated the series, with articles on subjects of immediate societal relevance, such as the articles on climate change in the past 200 years found in this volume. Chapters reflect current work in Earth science's efforts to provide information on the geological past, and developments in geophysical methods. Specific topics covered include the Aral Sea disaster, microprobe monazite geochronology, microsampling and isotopic analysis of igneous rocks, the crustal dichotomy on Mars, and the tectonics and climate of the Southern Central Andes. Material is illustrated with full-color images, diagrams, and tables. Jeanloz is affiliated with the University of California-Berkeley.
This open access book examines key aspects of international cooperation to enhance nuclear safety, security, safeguards, and nonproliferation, thereby assisting in development and maintenance of the verification regime and fostering progress toward a nuclear weapon-free world. Current challenges are discussed and attempts made to identify possible solutions and future improvements, considering scientific developments that have the potential to increase the effectiveness of implementation of international regimes, particularly in critical areas, technology foresight, and the ongoing evaluation of current capabilities.
