Ecological impacts of cockle fishing in Poole Harbour, UK
ISBN: 9783639191400 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poole Harbour (UK), one of the worlds largest natural harbours, supports terrestrial and marine habitats that are protected under National, European and International designations. Recent introduction of mechanical dredging in the cockle (Cerastoderma edule) fishery raised concerns among conservation groups that this new method may have a damaging effect on infaunal benthic communities that form critical food resources for shorebirds. This research investigated ecological impacts of cockle dredging on infaunal communities, using statistical analysis to look at community change in...

Comparison of Degraded and Restored Peatland
ISBN: 9783639192025 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Restoration of degraded peatlands is seen as the ideal solution for management of such environments (Anderson et al 2006), with the potential benefit being the return of peatland to being a sink of carbon dioxide. As peatlands are the single largest carbon reserve in the UK it is necessary that an understanding of the impact of restorative efforts is gained. Efforts to assess restoration have largely been made on the basis of vegetation recovery; few studies have been made on the physio-chemical conditions of restored peatlands (Anderson et al 2006) which are crucial to the health of the...

Statistical Significance Of Predicted Earthquake Occurrence
ISBN: 9783639195736 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day and almost any method for predicting earthquakes will succeed occasionally, whether the methods have merit or not. Qiang et al. (2001) successfully predicted 100 earthquakes that is based on a predicted increase of ground temperatures in the lower atmosphere from 2 to 8 days before a large scale earthquake. Despite their apparent success at predicting the earthquakes, they did not compare their prediction with the natural rate of occurrence in the area, which experiences an earthquake of Richter magnitude greater than 4 every week. This book compares...

Hydro-Climatic Response to Atmospheric Forcing in Colombia
ISBN: 9783639135091 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In tropical South America, weather and climate are affected by the meridional oscillation of the inter- tropical convergence zone, the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, the Amazon basin, and the Andes Mountains. The dominant mode of the inter-annual climate variability in this region is the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. Colombia is among the South American countries that experiences large climate anomalies because of ENSO. However, the hydrologic response in Colombia to a particular ENSO event is highly complex and non-linear. To describe the hydrologic response in Colombia, a...

Communal Lands in the Semi-arid Region of Chile
ISBN: 9783639186260 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the drylands of northern Chile land was utilized as a source of minerals, meat, wheat, and timber since the colonial period. These extractive processes caused the destruction of most of the natural vegetation. Impacts of past use have persisted until today, partly because of multi-year dry spells. Landsat satellite imagery shows that vegetation response increases marginally during rainy years, mainly explained by the planting of rainfed wheat, while natural vegetation responds weakly on both private and communal lands. In the agricultural communes families are poor or...

Encyclopedia of Environmental Control Technology: Volume 5: Waste Minimization and Recycling
ISBN: 9780872012585 / Angielski / Twarda / 864 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As landfills are closed and new and stricter legislation enacted, the problems of waste and pollution grow ever larger. Re-engineering production lines to reduce the source of unusable by-products is one answer, and developing new technologies to make use of these materials another. Recycling provides an immediate solution, and it is one that is becoming more and more popular in a variety of industries ranging from styrene to steel to newsprint. Like the other titles in the -Encyclopedia of Environmental Control Technology- series, this volume draws on contributors from around the world...

Tropical Mesoscale Convective Systems
ISBN: 9783639201673 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Weather in the tropical region is characterized by mesoscale organization of clouds. Tropical convection occurs on various spatial and temporal scales. So far, no comprehensive observational and modeling campaign on severe thunderstorm has been conducted over Indian region. Realizing the importance of improved understanding and prediction of these weather events, an effort has been made to study the structure and evolution of thunderstorms. Time and height variation of the radar reflectivity and vertical velocity has been used to classify various forms of convective clouds such as single...

Sensitivity Analysis
ISBN: 9783639212730 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An important step to determine whether certain coastal environment parameters can be estimated using optical remote sensing measurements is to establish their identifiability from the measured water leaving remote sensing reflectance. This work addresses the Sensitivity Analysis of water leaving remote sensing reflectance to water constituents, based on the prior uncertainties of all input parameters to the model used, Hydrolight, a radiative transfer code for ocean waters. The Morris screening method is used to determine which parameters have a substantial influence on the Remote Sensing...

Sustainable Cities for the Third Millennium: The Odyssey of Urban Excellence
ISBN: 9781441960368 / Angielski / Twarda / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the dawn of the third millennium, planet Earth entered a zone of turbulence. The 2008 crisis added economic uncertainty to the threat of global warming and extreme events such as droughts, floods and cyclones, the persisting crisis of p- erty and the spectrum of pandemics and terrorism. Against this global landscape in an era of fragility, cities, already sheltering more than half of humankind, appear as Janus-faced realities, the best and worst of places, vulnerable but still full of hope and will to overcome the crisis of societal values and progress in the path of susta- able...

Volcano Seismology Case Studies
ISBN: 9783639220452 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I study the structure beneath volcanoes; describe unexpected effects of the shaking from an earthquake on volcanoes; and suggest a model for a magma system. The conceivable configuration of magma systems beneath Galeras (Colombia) is studied with b- value mapping. I obtain models for earthquake- volcanoes interactions by studying drops in seismicity at Mt. Wrangell (Alaska), after the 2002 Denali Fault Earthquake. A model for the magmatic system beneath Mt. Veniaminof is proposed by modeling velocities and relocating shocks, and by studying the temporal changes of frequencies and ...

Modelling the Evolution of Arctic Melt Ponds
ISBN: 9783639221558 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An accurate estimate of the fraction of the Arctic upper sea-ice surface covered in melt ponds during the summer melt season is essential for a realistic estimate of the albedo for global climate models. Presented here is a melt-pond-sea-ice model that simulates the evolution of melt ponds across an Arctic sea-ice surface. Thermodynamic processes are modelled using the mushy-layer equations in sea ice, heat diffusion equations in snow and using assumptions of turbulent heat flux in melt ponds, along with a three-layer two-stream radiation model. There is a realistic hydraulic...
