A textbook that approaches geophysics from an Earth System Science perspective
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
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.
