Viscoelastic Initial-Value Problems on GPUThe main purpose of the book is to introduce GPU programming to geoscience students by means of a well-known geophysical phenomenon with immense societal relevance. We will use this strategy to introduce the basic rudiments of GPU computing to ambitious geophysics or geological students by way of initial-value problems. The initial-value problems associated with viscoelas-ticity (VIP) in the geosciences are postglacial rebound, post-seismic deformation, tidal dissipa-tion, seismology and rotational dynamics.

Features 7 The initial value approach as a computationally efficient alternative to normal-mode approach to viscoelastic modelling of the earth 7 Detailed description of the numerical method of line on GPU 7 Ready-to-use examples of CUDA For-tran subroutines

Contents From the Contents: The geophysical phenomenon of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment ( GIA ).- Initial Value Approach with the MOL ( Method of Lines ).- Elastic and Viscoelastic Responses.- Current Numerical Methods for integrating VIP.- GPU Hardware aspects.- GPU Software aspects.- Philosophy of Code conversion versus Code implementation using CUDA or OpenCL.- GPU Implementation of the MOL in VIP problems.- Examples of Postglacial Rebound.- Future Per-spectives of VIP on GPU.

Fundamentals of Physical GeologyPhysical Geology is a vast subject and it is not pos-sible to cover all aspects in one book. This book does not invent the wheel but merely put together sets of updated but concise material on Physical Geology with lots of illustrations. All illustrations are created by hand and give a real classroom feel to the book. Students or readers can easily reproduce them by hand. This is a book, where a diagram says it all. The book is divided into four parts. The first part “The Solar System and Cosmic Bodies” deals with elements of our Solar System and the cosmic bodies around it (like meteorites, asteroids, etc.). The second part “The Earth Mate-rials” deals with Earth and its internal structure. The third part “The Hydrologic System” is more exhaustive and deals with the hydrological system of the Earth including Weathering and Mass Wasting, Streams, Groundwater, Karst, Glaciers, Oceans and Aeolian Processes and Landforms.

Features 7 Covers all aspects of physical geology and written in simple language 7 Explanations on relevant topics are concise and student-friend-ly 7 Provides the figures as well-labelled and easy to reproduce black and white diagrams

Contents Introduction.- The Solar System: Sun and Plan-ets.- The Cosmic Bodies.- The Planet Earth.- The Earth’s Interior.- The Geological Timescale.- Weathering and Mass Wasting.- Stream.- Ground-water.- Karst.- Glaciers.- Ocean.- Aeolian Pro-cesses.- Plate Tectonics.- Earthquakes.- Volcanoes.

New SeriesNatural Disaster Science and Mitigation Engineering: DPRI reportsSeries editor: H. Kawase

Because of the urban habitat concentration and strong linkage to infrastructures that support the modern urban lifestyle, natural disasters such as floods, typhoons, earthquakes, tsuna-mis, landslides, and volcanoes always create new areas of severe damages whenever they occur. Japan is a “disaster country” of sorts: we have to survive many different kinds of natural disasters and therefore we have accumulated a substantial knowledge base for natural disaster phenomenolo-gy and mitigation technology. This series of books on natural disaster sciences and their mitigation technologies presents recent advances in natural disaster sciences and mitigation technologies for all aspects of natural disasters developed in Japan to share them with the international community. The areas that we cover in this series include 1. Earthquake Risk 2. Strong Motions and Dam-age Prediction of Urban Structures 3. Volcanic Eruption 4. Ground Failures 5. Climate and Water Disasters 6. Fire and Environmental Disasters 7. Disaster Management and Mitigation

Landslides in Sensitive ClaysFrom Geosciences to Risk Management

Landslides in sensitive clays represent a major hazard in the northern countries of the world such as Canada, Finland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and in the US state of Alaska. Past and recent examples of catastrophic landslides at e.g. Saint-Jean-Vian-ney in 1971, Rissa in 1979, Finneidfjord in 1996 and Kattmarka in 2009 have illustrated the great mobility of the remolded sensitive clays and their hazardous retrogressive potential.

Features 7 Unique subject tackled in very few other publications 7 State-of-the-art perspective of landslides in sensitive clays and their conse-quences 7 Consideration on the source, nature, development and characterization of sensitive clays 7 Engineering contemplation, model-ling and slope stability assessment in sensitive clays 7 Hazard and risk management consider-ation in sensitive clay terrain

Contents Part I: Sensitive clay: source, nature and develop-ment.- Part II: Landslide characterization.- Part III: Integrated geotechnical and geophysical site investigations.- Part IV: Slope stability, modelling and progressive failure.- Part V: Hazard assess-ment, risk management, regulations and policies.

Landslides in Cold Regions in the Context of Climate ChangeLandslides in cold regions have different mecha-nisms from those in other areas, and comparative-ly few research efforts have been made in this field. Recently, because of climate change, some new trends concerning landslide occurrence and mo-tion have appeared, severely impacting economic development and communities. This book collects key case studies from the cold regions all over the world, providing an overview of the general situation.
