High-pressure mineral physics is a field that has shaped our understanding of deep planetary interiors and revealed new material phenomena occurring at extreme conditions. Comprised of 16 chapters written by well-established experts, this book covers recent advances in static and dynamic compression techniques and enhanced diagnostic capabilities, including synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction, spectroscopic measurements, in situ X-ray diffraction under dynamic loading, and multigrain crystallography at megabar pressures. Applications range from measuring equations of state, elasticity, and deformation of materials at high pressure, to synthesis and thermochemistry of high-pressure phases, and new molecular compounds and superconductivity under extreme conditions. This book also introduces experimental geochemistry in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell enabled by the focused ion beam technique for sample recovery and quantitative chemical analysis at submicron scale. Each chapter ends with an insightful perspective of future directions, making it an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers. <...>

Characterizing and understanding the variability of hydroclimatological processes and measurements are essential for assessing the performance of water resources infrastructure and its management and for planning successful and efficient water resources projects.

Petroleum resource evaluations have been performed by geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, engineers, and statisticians for many decades in an attempt to estimate resource potential in a given region. Because of differences in the geological and statistical methods used for assessment, and the amount and type of data available, resource evaluations often vary. Accounts of various methods have been compiled by Haun (1975), Grenon (1979), Masters (1985), Rice (1986), and Mast et al. (1989). In addition, Lee and Gill (1999) used the Michigan reef play data to evaluate the merits of the log-geometric method of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); the PETRIMES method developed by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC); the Arps and Roberts method; Bickel, Nair, and Wang’s nonparametric fi nite population method; Kaufman’s anchored method; and the geo-anchored method of Chen and Sinding–Larson. <...>
