Fractals in the earth sciences / edited by Christopher C. Barton and Paul R. La Pointe.
This well-illustrated volume reviews the many applications of fractal geometry used to study earth science patterns and processes. Designed as an introduction to this new area of study, the papers represent a broad spectrum of earth science disciplines where patterns have proven to be fractal over m...
