Global Continental Palaeohydrology
ISBN: 9780471954200 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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. 22 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....

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...

River Management: The Australasian Experience
ISBN: 9780471969761 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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. 22 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. 22 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...
