The Music of the Big Bang: The Cosmic Microwave Background and the New Cosmology (Astronomers' Universe)

Springer, 2008

The cosmic microwave background radiation is the afterglow of the big bang: a tenuous signal, more than 13 billion years old, which carries the answers to many of the questions about the nature of our Universe. It was serendipitously discovered in 1964, and thoroughly investigated in the last four decades by a large number of experiments. Two...

Scenarios and Responses to Future Deep Oil Spills: Fighting the Next War

Springer, 2019

It has often been said that generals prepare for the next war by re-fighting the last. The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill was unlike any previous – an underwater well blowout 1,500 meters deep. Much has been learned in the wake of DWH and these lessons should in turn be applied to both similar oil spill scenarios...
