Soil Pollution: Processes and Dynamics
ISBN: 9783540609278 / Angielski / Twarda / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The soil is the medium through which pollutants originating from human activities, both in agriculture and industry, move from the land surfaces to groundwater. Polluting substances are subject to complex physical, chemical and biological transformations during their movement through the soil. Their displacement depends on the transport properties of the water-air-soil system and on the molecular properties of the pollutants. Prediction of soil pollution and restoration of polluted soils requires an under standing of the processes controlling the fate of pollutants in the soil medium and of...

Bayesian Networks and GIS Techniques for Modelling Land Degradation
ISBN: 9783639186215 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Land degradation highly affects the sustainability of agricultural production, food security and ecosystem services in the natural environment. Various attempts have been made to assess land degradation at multiple spatial scales from local to global. Prior methodologies, in general, show a strong bias towards assessing only biological and physical factors of land degradation, ignoring the equally significant social and economic factors. In this book, a new probabilistic approach to assess land degradation and its causes in dry lands is introduced. The suitability of Bayesian Networks for...

Land Degradation
ISBN: 9780792367703 / Angielski / Twarda / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book contains selected contributions from the Sixth Meeting of the International Geographical Union's Commission on Land Degradation and Desertification, held in Perth, Australia, in September 1999. Collectively, these contributions explicitly seek to understand not only the mechanisms responsible for the problem of land degradation but their social and economic implications, the means of overcoming the problems, and the policy instruments whereby remedial measures may be implemented. This breadth of approach is both distinctive and essential if the problems are to be tackled...

Web GIS application in local government
ISBN: 9783639195149 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Use of Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies in local government varies greatly. GIS help city agencies to answer many questions and facilitate the performance of a great number of day-to-day activities. In almost any situation, when dealing with GIS information in local governments, GIS specialists must provide services to government leaders and to staff of other departments. Furthermore, spatial, or geographic, data often needs to be available to the public audience via the Web. To address those needs, the results of the performed research offer numerous insights and implications...

Scale
ISBN: 9780415349086 / Angielski / Miękka / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Geographical scale is a central concept enabling us to make sense of the world we inhabit. Amongst other things, it allows us to declare one event or process a national one and another a global or regional one. However, geographical scales and how we think about them are profoundly contested, and the spatial resolution at which social processes take place - local, regional or global - together with how we talk about them has significant implications for understanding our world. Scale provides a structured investigation of the debates concerning the concept of scale... Geographical scale is a central concept enabling us to make sense of the world we inhabit.

Indirect Aerosol Effect and Modelling of Aerosol-Cloud Interactions
ISBN: 9783639207033 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An increasing number of aerosol particles released by human activity can cool the climate system. Analysis of data from field experiments show that the enhancement of aerosol number concentration increases the cloud droplet number and reduces the cloud droplet size, thus results in a higher cloud reflectivity (first indirect aerosol effect). The more numerous but smaller cloud droplets also decrease the precipitation efficiency, therefore prolonging cloud lifetime and increasing cloud reflectivity (second indirect aerosol effects). Additionally, anthropogenic aerosols modify the shape of...
