This reference source seeks to link science to societal needs by incorporating inter- and cross-disciplinary articles within the six major topics covered: properties of the solid earth (covering volcanology, geochemistry, and petrology; geomagnetism and paleomagnetism), dynamics of the solid earth and other planets (covering tectonophysics, seismology, and geodesy), space sciences (covering atmospheric studies of extraterrestrial bodies, space physics, and the Earth's atmosphere from the mesosphere and above), atmospheric sciences (covering the Earth's atmosphere below the mesosphere), hydrology (including all aspects of surface and ground water), ocean sciences (covering physical, chemical, and biological oceanography). Inter- and cross-disciplinary articles address volcanoes and climates, the atmospheric and hydrologic aspects of precipitation; air-sea interaction; and surficial properties. Authors for this volume were requested to structure their articles in a manner that assists in demonstrating the societal value of the work, and to define information in a form that is as clear as possible to a scientist who is not specializing in the topic of the article.
