Earth Science Laboratory Manual
by Harry Williams Kent McGregor Ken Iles George Maxey Lisa Nagaoka Alexandra Ponette-GonzalezThis Earth Science Laboratory Manual is meant to supplement and reinforce lecture material by giving you an opportunity to apply what you learn in class through hands-on activities. <p><p>The exercises illustrate some of the fundamental principles of earth science using a mixture of hypothetical data sets, data from scientific publications and data collected locally from the North Texas region. The exercises emphasize a hands-on, quantitative approach, supplemented by a web-based virtual field trips and CD-ROM exercises.
Earth Science Satellite Applications
by Faisal HossainThe combined observational power of the multiple earth observing satellites is currently not being harnessed holistically to produce more durable societal benefits. We are not able to take complete advantage of the prolific amount of scientific output and remote sensing data that are emerging rapidly from satellite missions and convert them quickly into decision-making products for users. The current application framework we have appears to be an analog one lacking the absorption bandwidth required to handle scientific research and the voluminous (petabyte-scale) satellite data. This book will tackle this question: "How do we change this course and take full advantage of satellite observational capability for a more sustainable, happier and safer future in the coming decades?"

Earth Science and Applications from Space: A Midterm Assessment of NASA's Implementation of the Decadal Survey
by Committee on the Assessment of NASA's Earth Science ProgramUnderstanding the effects of natural and human-induced changes on the global environment and their implications requires a foundation of integrated observations of land, sea, air and space, on which to build credible information products, forecast models, and other tools for making informed decisions. The 2007 National Research Council report on decadal survey called for a renewal of the national commitment to a program of Earth observations in which attention to securing practical benefits for humankind plays an equal role with the quest to acquire new knowledge about the Earth system. NASA responded favorably and aggressively to this survey, embracing its overall recommendations for Earth observations, missions, technology investments, and priorities for the underlying science. As a result, the science and applications communities have made significant progress over the past 5 years. However, the Committee on Assessment of NASA's Earth Science Program found that the survey vision is being realized at a far slower pace than was recommended, principally because the required budget was not achieved. Exacerbating the budget shortfalls, NASA Earth science programs experienced launch failures and delays and the cost of implementing missions increased substantially as a result of changes in mission scope, increases in launch vehicle costs and/or the lack of availability of a medium-class launch vehicle, under-estimation of costs by the decadal survey, and unfunded programmatic changes that were required by Congress and the Office of Management and Budget. In addition, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has made significant reductions in scope to its future Earth environmental observing satellites as it contends with budget shortfalls. Earth Science and Applications from Space: A Midterm Assessment of NASA's Implementation of the Decadal Survey recommends a number of steps to better manage existing programs and to implement future programs that will be recommended by the next decadal survey. The report also highlights the urgent need for the Executive Branch to develop and implement an overarching multiagency national strategy for Earth observations from space, a key recommendation of the 2007 decadal survey that remains unfulfilled.
Earth Science and the Environment (Fourth Edition)
by Graham R. Thompson Jon TurkUsing two themes, earth systems and environmental issues, EARTH SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT provides a rich overview of all Earth-related disciplines, including geology, meteorology, hydrology, oceanography, and astronomy. The authors provide a sense of how Earth functions as a single system composed of interacting subsystems and integrates coverage of enviromental issues in both the authoritative narrative and stunning multi-part visuals that emphasize the beauty of Earth science. To further enrich your experience, this earth science textbook is fully integrated with the CengageNOW online tutorial system. Web-based, assessment-driven, and completely flexible, the system provides you with a personalized learning plan based on a diagnostic pre-test to maximize your study time by focusing your attention where it is needed most.

Earth Science: God's World, Our Home
by Kevin NelsteadThis world belongs to God, our Father and Creator. As the 24th Psalm states: "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and all those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers." God's world is a wonderful and precious gift to us, for it is our home. Adam was placed in the garden of Eden "to work it and keep it." This biblical language (work and keep) means that Adam was to develop the garden so that it would be fruitful, and preserve the garden so that it would always continue to provide a suitable home for human beings and all the other creatures. This charge to Adam from God is often called the Cultural Mandate--a mandate from God for the human race wisely to develop and care for all the gifts we have received, including our minds, skills, communities, technologies, and, of course, the beautiful world God made.
