Opis

This book, first published in 1987, contains a collection of papers presented at the 18^th Binghamton Symposium, focusing on the topic of catastrophic flooding. These papers make the case for the careful collection and interpretation of data from which the importance and effects of catastrophic flooding may be deduced.
