STM Publisher Elsevier has announced the publication of Data Assimilation for the Geosciences: From Theory to Application by Steven J. Fletcher. The book brings together in one place all mathematical, statistical and probability background knowledge necessary to formulate data assimilation systems. It also demonstrates how data assimilation systems are implemented in larger scale fluid dynamical problems related to the atmosphere, oceans, the land surface and other geophysical situations. Elsevier also announced the publication of five additional geoscience books.
Data Assimilation for the Geosciences offers a comprehensive presentation of the subject, from basic principles to advanced methods, such as particle filters and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. In addition, it covers the applications of data assimilation techniques in various disciplines of the geosciences, making the book useful to students, teachers and research scientists.
The six new geoscience titles are: Data Assimilation for the Geosciences: From Theory to Application by Steven J. Fletcher; Geomorphology and Volcanology of Costa Rica by Jean Pierre Bergoeing; Theory of Electromagnetic Well Logging by C. Richard Liu; Understanding the Bouguer Anomaly: A Gravimetry Puzzle by Roman Pasteka, Jan Mikuska and Bruno Meurers; Nickel Sulfide Ores and Impact Melts: Origin of the Sudbury Igneous Complex by Peter Lightfoot; and Investigating Seafloors and Oceans: From Mud Volcanoes to Giant Squid by Antony Joseph.
In order to meet content needs in the geosciences, Elsevier uses proprietary tools to identify the gaps in coverage of the topics. Editorial teams strategically fill those gaps with content written by key influencers in the field, giving students, faculty and researchers the content they need to answer challenging questions and improve outcomes. The new books, which will educate the next generation of geoscientists, and provide critical foundational content for information professionals, are key examples of how Elsevier is enabling science to drive innovation.
