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 changes in the tides, have on other parts of the Earth system.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

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.

João C. Duarte works in tectonics, geodynamics, and marine geology. He is an auxiliar professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the
University of Lisbon and a researcher at IDL, where he coordinates the research group on Continental Margins and the Deep Ocean
Frontier. João has published more than 40 papers and has several edited works, including two Elsevier books entitled Transform Plate
Boundaries and Fracture Zones and A Journey Through Tides, an Elsevier special volume in the Journal of Geodynamics on the “200
years of geodynamic modelling”, and an AGU monograph entitled Plate Boundaries and Natural Hazards. He was awarded the Dis_x0002_covery Early Career Researcher Award from the Australian Research Council in 2015. In 2017, he was awarded the Arne Richter Award
for Outstanding Early Career Scientists of the European Geosciences Union. He is a member of the editorial board of Communications
Earth & Environment and a Fellow of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. João is passionate about science communication, and he regu_x0002_larly collaborates with science magazines and the media.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Did you know that the size of the full moon in the night sky is determined by how the continents have been arranged on Earth throughout its history? This is indeed the case, because the tides are largely controlled by the size of the ocean basins, and ocean basins open, close, and change shape as the Earth’s tectonic plates move around. So, the tides are intertwined and controlled by plate tectonics. There are of course many other processes that drive and modify the tides, and A Journey Through Tides describes why there is a tide, how it has changed since Earth’s early days, and what consequences the tides, and changes in the tides, have on other parts of the Earth system.

A Journey Through Tides is a fully comprehensive text covering the history of tides. It brings together geology and oceanography and discusses, in detail, the new ideas that have emerged about how tectonics and tides interact. It also provides an overview of Earth’s history, from the perspective of tidal changes, and highlights other fascinating phenomena (e.g., solid Earth tides and links between tides and earthquakes). The first part of the volume consists of an up-to-date introduction to tides for oceanography students as well as scientists from other disciplines who want to know the basics about tides. Part two is particularly valuable for scientists and post-graduate students studying the Earth’s deep time processes. The last part consists of several case studies of specific topics/processes that may apply to a variety of disciplines such as biology, astrobiology, planetary geology, seismology, among others.
