3. A Historical Approach to Materials Under Irradiation

   Researchers and students have not yet had access to a book which would enable them to trace the origins of the concepts that explain the behavior of materials under irradiation. This book fills the gap. As far back as antiquity, the notions of purity and disorder have been evoked to explain the different properties of materials. It was geologists who developed the subject in the 19th century. Then, with the discovery of X-rays and radioactivity, disorder in materials became the domain of physicists and chemists. The first observations focused on the color changes of ionic crystals, then gradually all the techniques for characterising materials were used. However, questions about the resistance of the components of the first atomic piles to irradiation led to the development of irradiation studies. This book describes the historical approaches to particle transport and defect creation mechanisms. Several chapters detail the history of irradiation of different types of materials: metals, semiconductors, iono-covalent insulators, polymers and radiolysis of water. The final two chapters deal with irradiation tools and applications. [320 Pages, Hardcover] Read More...

   
   
   
4. Tectonics and Seismic Structure of Alaska and Northwestern Canada

   New insights into geologic and tectonic processes in Alaska and northwestern Canada The northwest of the North American continent is geologically dynamic and tectonically active. A network of seismic and geodetic instruments deployed across the region as part of the EarthScope project provided data crucial to understanding its geological, tectonic, and seismic processes. Tectonics and Seismic Structure of Alaska and Northwestern Canada: EarthScope and Beyond presents review papers and new scientific studies using EarthScope data to advance understanding of the region's structure, seismic activity, and geodynamic processes. About this volume: * Describes the infrastructure and capabilities of the EarthScope seismic and geodetic networks * Draws from a comprehensive set of geophysical data * Includes field studies, laboratory analyses, and numerical modeling * Spans processes from the Earth's interior and the lower mantle to the crust and surface * Covers examples from subduction zones, fault systems, and some of the largest recorded earthquakes * Provides scientific explanations for the natural landscapes and ongoing movements shaping the northwest of the North American continent The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals. [656 Pages, Hardcover] Read More...

   
   
   
5. Distributed Acoustic Sensing in Borehole Geophysics

   Presents the latest advances in borehole distributed acoustic sensing and diverse applications for subsurface geophysics Borehole geophysics involves measuring, imaging, and monitoring subsurface structures and activities by putting instruments into wellbores. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology is emerging as an effective and reliable tool in borehole geophysics because fiber-optic cables deployed at depth can produce high-quality data and images, even in harsh high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Distributed Acoustic Sensing in Borehole Geophysics is a comprehensive handbook on cutting-edge advances in borehole DAS technologies and their practical applications across geophysics. Volume highlights include: * Summary of the evolution of DAS technologies and their primary applications * New developments in borehole DAS instrumentation and modeling * Examples of DAS data acquisition and processing in different contexts * Variety of imaging methods and techniques for integration of images with other data * Applications of borehole DAS systems, including monitoring earthquakes and hydraulic fracturing operations * Case studies of borehole DAS projects at diverse sites around the world, ranging from glaciers to geothermal fields The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals. [624 Pages, Hardcover] Read More...
