Global Continental Palaeohydrology
ISBN: 9780471954200 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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...

Solute Modelling in Catchment Systems
ISBN: 9780471957171 / Angielski / Twarda / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This monograph provides a synopsis of developments in the solute modelling of catchment ecosystems. The volume includes advances in solute modelling particularly at the catchment scale, and stresses the influences of weathering, ecosystems processes and hydrological processes as well as the application of models and modelling principles. It describes how models are used to assess the sensitivity of solute production to environmental change and human influence, focusing upon surface catchments rather than groundwater and soil solutes.

Steepland Geomorphology
ISBN: 9780471957522 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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....

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...

Landslide Recognition: Identification, Movement and Causes
ISBN: 9780471964773 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Every year a landslide disaster occurs somewhere in Europe. Destructive events are fortunately infrequent but when they do occur they are often tragic in their effects. Europe is heavily populated and development is expanding into areas where natural events are more likely to happen. Landslide Recognition is written by specialists from several European Institutions and is designed to portray the diagnostic features of landslides as they would appear in the field, on maps or in photographs. Brief descriptions, colour photographs and diagrams are provided and guidance is given with regard to...

River Management: The Australasian Experience
ISBN: 9780471969761 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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 / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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...

Unlocking the Stratigraphical Record: Advances in Modern Stratigraphy
ISBN: 9780471974635 / Angielski / Miękka / 542 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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...

The Origin of Continents and Oceans
ISBN: 9780486617084 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since its inception modern geology has been faced with an important group of problems: explaining parallel formations that are separated by great distances of sea; accounting for isolated life forms in widely separated areas (such as lemurs in Madagascar and India); explaining pre-pleistocene glaciations, and similar problems. The usual explanation has been to assume the one-time existence of land bridges (such as the hypothetical Lemuria) or parallelisms or diffusion with lost intermediary steps.
