Produktbeschreibung
__Association of American Publishers (AAP) PROSE Award Finalist in Earth Science, 2024__ A Journey Through Tides is a fully comprehensive text on the history of tides. It brings together geology and oceanography and discusses, in detail, new ideas that have emerged about how tectonics and tides interact. In addition, the book provides an overview of Earth s history, from the perspective of tidal changes, while also highlighting other fascinating phenomena (e.g., solid Earth tides and links between tides and earthquakes). Sections cover an introduction to tides for oceanography students and scientists from other disciplines, cover the Earth s deep time processes, and include several case studies of specific topics/processes that apply to a earth science disciplines.

There are many other processes that drive and modify the tides, hence this book also describes why there is a tide, how it has changed since Earth s early days, and what consequences the tides, and changesin the tides, have on other parts of the Earth system.

Autorenporträt
Mattias Green is a physical oceanographer working on changes in tides and tidally driven processes on a range of scales. After earning degrees in oceanography at Goteborg University in Sweden, he moved to Bangor University in 2005. After a stint as a postdoc there, he received a NERC Advanced Fellowship, and later became senior lecturer in physical oceanography at Bangor. He is now professor of physical oceanography at Bangor and works on tides and tidally driven processes and how they change on a range of time scales - from years to eons. He has published 70 peer reviewed papers to date and his work has been highlighted by Nature, Science, The Conversation, CNN, and a number of other international outlets.
