Features: This book introduces the fundamental theories, methods, and their applications in various geoscience disciplines (geography, geology, meteorology, environment, ecology, etc.). The content covers stability theory, bifurcation theory, catastrophe theory, chaos theory, and fractal theory. Most of the applications are the research results of the author from national research projects since the 1990s. The book is comprehensive, well-explained, and rigorously presented, aiming to be both accessible and practical. It is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and scientific workers in geoscience disciplines who are involved in the application of nonlinear theories. It can also serve as a reference and textbook for graduate students and teachers in geoscience disciplines for teaching and research purposes.
