Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics by Donald L. Turcotte

Editorial Reviews
New Scientist, Rob Butler
It is a mathematically fascinating book and presents a convincing case for the self-organised nature of river basins and related landscapes.

The fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics, along with the related concepts of multifractals, self-similar time series, wavelets,
and self-organized criticality, are introduced in this book, for a broad range of readers interested in complex natural phenomena. Now in a greatly
expanded, second edition, this book relates fractals and chaos to a variety of geological and geophysical applications. These include drainage
networks and erosion, floods, earthquakes, mineral and... read more
