This is the second volume of the topical issue "Mathematics andGeosciences: Global and Local Perspectives" which embraces 21 papers ondifferent topics relating to Mathematics and Geosciences. They addressdifferent topics under both global and local perspectives, such as a method forcalculating probabilities for large events in systems such as earthquakes,typhoons, etc.; the use of the Laplace-Fourier-domain full waveform inversiontechnique to deep-sea seismic data; discrete element modeling; step-edgedetection filters, study of a transition zone of the Narmada-Son lineament;integral formulae for recovering the sub-crustal stress from terrestrialgravimetric data; numerical simulations of earthquake fault systems and theiruse to estimate gravity changes; application of Gaussian clustering to jointinterpretation of seismic and magnetotelluric data; on the reliability andfidelity of archaeomagnetic and volcanic records to recover the past evolutionof the Earth's magnetic field; the study, for the first time, of variations inabsolute surface geostrophic currents (SGC) using satellite data only;discussion of the inconsistency of IAU2000 non-rigid earth nutation model; thestudy of nonlinear anisotropic diffusive filtering applied to the oceans MDT;the numerical solution of a nonhydrostatic ocean model; Hydrological-Hydraulicmodels; Steiner rearrangement of a function to study the effectiveness ofchemical reactors for the treatment of wastewaters; GNSS software; the study ofthe fractal dimensions for the identification of bedrock lithology; the studyof the Uruk archaeological site (southern Iraq) by integrated geophysicalmethods; mathematical model for patchy landscapes; study of pore space soilstructure; and the results of comparison between transverse electric-typefields and between transverse magnetic and transverse electromagnetic fields.As the previous one, volumeII addresses the interest of scientists of many of the branches in EarthSciences as well as postgraduate students, covering both approaches, appliedand theoretical ones, to solve many different problems in Geosciences with thehelp of mathematical models and methods.
