Global Continental Palaeohydrology
ISBN: 9780471954200 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Palaeohydrological research is a comparatively recent development. However, research undertaken has already demonstrated a significant multidisciplinary impact and shown how palaeohydrology can provide an important contribution to the study of global change. Although a considerable amount of exciting palaeohydrological research has been applied to particular areas, there has not previously been a systematic approach to research into the palaeohydrology of the Earth s surface. It was for this reason that a Commission was established by INQUA in 1991 on Global Continental Palaeohydrology. This...

Steepland Geomorphology
ISBN: 9780471957522 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Steepland geomorphology concerns high gradient landscapes which are either tectonically active or influenced by volcanism and where there is a perceived close relationship between soils, incomplete vegetation cover, recent geomorphic processes and associated landforms. Such areas are difficult to manage because of their high variability in terms of natural stability and because of inadequate theory and models. This book, through thirteen independent steepland field investigations, illustrates the differing conceptual frameworks that are used at four different temporal scales of investigation....
