Geomorphology and Groundwater
ISBN: 9780471957546 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Geomorphology and Groundwater is an up-to-the-minute collection dealing with the overlap between geomorphology and hydrogeology. These two disciplines have much to offer each other in several fields such as rivergroundwater interactions, the location and evolution of aquifers, karst and landform evolution. There is increasing realisation that groundwater plays an important role in many geomorphological processes and of the utility of geomorphological techniques and ideas in the analysis of groundwater systems. The authors contributing to this volume are drawn from a wide variety of...

Vegetation Mapping Edited by Roy Alexander Environment Research Group, Department of Geography, Chester College, UK and Andrew C. Millington Department of Geography, University of Leicester, UK The past decade has witnessed a resurgence of interest and activity in the mapping of vegetation that has been driven by the needs of environmental modellers and policy makers on the one hand and by the increased availability of data sets and sophisticated tools for their handling and analysis on the other. This increased activity, together with the greater variety of purposes for which vegetation maps...

River Management: The Australasian Experience
ISBN: 9780471969761 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Only in Australasia can the effect of technological societies on river systems be truly analysed and this unique, accessible book covers key issues in river management from a geomorphological perspective.
Australia and New Zealand were colonised only 200 years ago by central bureaucratic administrations. For the whole period of European settlement most river management activities have been carried out by government agencies and the record of their activities is relatively complete. These countries therefore provide good case studies for the impact of technological societies on...

Cohesive Sediments
ISBN: 9780471970989 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cohesive sediment contributes to a wide range of design, maintenance and management problems in estuaries and coastal regions. Accumulation of sediment in navigation channels often results in the need for expensive dredging operations. New developments can cause significant changes to the sediments transport patterns, so a good understanding of the likely changes is necessary before any engineering project can proceed. In addition many pollutants are preferentially absorbed on to the fine cohesive fraction of the sediment, and therefore, for environmental reasons, it is important to be able...

Stochastic Processes for Water Scientists: Developments and Applications
ISBN: 9780471973485 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The discipline of Stochastic Processes is usually treated as a branch of mathematics, and there are plenty of books for mathematicians on the subject. Equally, there are very many books, both for statisticians and environmental scientists, on "Time Series Analysis," analysing the structure of data sequences where measurements are made at equal time-intervals and are free from "intermittent" behaviour. But this book deals with the analysis of events which occur intermittently in time and space; through a very wide range of examples drawn from many areas of environmental science in which the...

Unlocking the Stratigraphical Record: Advances in Modern Stratigraphy
ISBN: 9780471974635 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 542 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Stratigraphy is the key to understanding the geological evolution of the earth. It provides the framework for our interpretation of the sequences of events which have shaped the earth throughout its 4600 million years of existence. It provides the timescale with which we can determine the relative order of these events, and it provides the means whereby we can calibrate this using absolute ages in years. Stratigraphy is therefore the most fundamental subject in the science of geology, and all geologists are practising stratigraphers. Traditionally, however, stratigraphy has been considered as...

Glacier Hydrology and Hydrochemistry
ISBN: 9780471981688 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The last decade has been a period of rapid advances in glacier hydrology and hydrochemistry. These have resulted from the application of new technologies to the direct observation of englacial and subglacial drainage systems via boreholes, from theoretical advances and from increased interactions between fieldworkers and modellers. This collection of papers captures the spirit of these advances highlighting new methodologies, the change in character of hydrological models from lumped conceptual models to physically based, distributed models, and the changing role of field studies in glacier...
