This book is divided into four parts. The introduction (Part I) provides the physical background of the geophysical models that are analyzed in this book from a mathematical viewpoint.
Part II is devoted to a self-contained proof of the existence of weak (or strong) solutions to the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations.

Part III deals with the rapidly rotating Navier–Stokes equations, first in the whole space, where dispersion effects are considered. Then the case where the domain has periodic boundary conditions is considered, and finally rotating Navier–Stokes equations between two plates are studied, both in the case of horizontal coordinates in R2 and periodic.
In Part IV the stability of Ekman boundary layers, and boundary layer effects in magnetohydrodynamics and quasigeostrophic equations are discussed.

The boundary layers which appear near vertical walls are presented and formally linked with the classical Prandlt equations. Finally spherical layers are introduced, whose study is completely open.

Various branches of physics and earth sciences have been studied from the  point of view of mathematical morphology and its applications, but for the first time a whole book is devoted to a morphological approach to structural geology. In this sense, it fits in with a long tradition since the two founders of mathematical morphology were both mining engineers.

Th e book MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences is designed to help undergraduate and postgraduate students, doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, and professionals fi nd quick solutions for common data analysis problems in earth sciences. It provides a minimal amount of theoretical background and demonstrates the application of all described methods through the use of examples.

This report (the “Report”) was prepared for Lithium Americas Corp. (the “Company” or “LAC”) to document the methods and results of a Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource Estimate on mineral claims held by the Company. The estimate applies to lithium and potassium contained in brine within the basin of the Olaroz and Cauchari Salars, two adjacent salt lakes in the Jujuy Province of northwestern Argentina. <...>
