This book presents the findings of recent theoretical and experimental studies of processes in the atmosphere, oceans, and lithosphere, discussing their interactions, geology. methods of geophysical research, and environmental problems resulting from human impacts. Particularly focusing on the geomechanical aspects of the production of hydrocarbons, including the laborious extraction of oils, it also includes contributions on ecological problems related to the biosphere.
