Earth System Processes and Disaster Management
One of the fundamental goals of earth system science research is to adopt a more holistic view of the earth as a system comprising different domains. The Society of Earth Scientists has brought out this multidisciplinary publication to emphasize the need of an integrated approach to understand the...
