Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces
ISBN: 9789027716972 / Angielski / Twarda / 641 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The transfer across the surface of environmental waters is of interest as an important phase in the geophysical and natural biochemical cycles of numer- ous substances; indeed it governs the transition, one way or the other, be- tween the dissolved state in the water and the gaseous state in the atmo- sphere. Especially with increasing population and industrialization, gas transfer at water surfaces has become a critical factor in the understanding of the various pathways of wastes in the environment and of their engineering management. This interfacial mass transfer is, by its very nature,...

Hydrological Forecasting: Design and Operation of Hydrological Forecasting Systems
ISBN: 9789027722591 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the past two decades several activities in the field of water resources management have been enhanced and intensified. This . rise had at least two independent reasons. The first and main one was the constantly increasing water demand for agriculture and industry on one side and the concern about the deteriorating environment on the other. While this last concern was lately overshadowed by deterioration of national economies, the quantity of available water resources has certainly not increased with the growing scarcity of funds for its development and protection. Furthermore, the standard...

Strong Ground Motion Seismology
ISBN: 9789027725325 / Angielski / Twarda / 607 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book contains selected papers presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Strong Ground Motion Seismology," held in Ankara, Turkey between June 10 and 21, 1985. The strong ground motion resulting from a major earthquake determines the level of the seismic hazard to enable earthquake engineers to assess the structural performance and the consecutive risks to the property and life, as well as providing detailed information to seismologists about its source mechanism. From the earthquake engineering point the main problem is the specification of a design level ground motion for a...

Kinetics of Water-Rock Interaction
ISBN: 9780387735627 / Angielski / Twarda / 868 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Systems at the surface of the Earth are continually responding to energy inputs - rived ultimately from radiation from the Sun or from the radiogenic heat in the - terior. These energy inputs drive plate movements and erosion, exposing metastable mineral phases at the Earth's surface. In addition, these energy ?uxes are harvested and transformed by living organisms. As long as these processes persist, chemical disequilibrium at the Earth's surface will be perpetuated. In addition, as human populations grow, the need to produce food, extract - ter, and extract energy resources increases. These...

River Restoration: Managing the Uncertainty in Restoring Physical Habitat
ISBN: 9780470867068 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. River restoration projects are designed to recreate functional characteristics within a context of physical stability. They tend to focus on the development and application of geomorphic principles for river restoration design. Due to different models obtaining different results on the same problem, incomplete or absent data, and climatic/social/cultural changes, the designers and managers of such projects frequently face high levels of uncertainty.
This book will provide a systematic overview of the issues involved in minimizing and coping with uncertainty in river restoration... River restoration projects are designed to recreate functional characteristics within a context of physical stability. They tend to focus on the devel...

Restoration of Degraded Rivers: Challenges, Issues and Experiences
ISBN: 9780792349426 / Angielski / Twarda / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the continued quest for increased economic benefits from our water resources, numerous structures and operating policies for controlling the river flow have been built and implemented. These structures and associated operating policies can facilitate navigation; they can provide greater quantities of reliable water supplies to meet agricultural, industrial and municipal water demands; they can generate hydroelectric power and energy; and they can provide increased flood protection, recreation, and other benefits. Over the past half-century we have converted many of our rivers into...

Microearthquake Seismology and Seismotectonics of South Asia
ISBN: 9781402081798 / Angielski / Twarda / 503 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hardly a week passes without our learning of natural geologic disaster somewhere in the world, be it a volcanic eruption, landslide, or destructive earthquake. The prominent public notice given to such events is not only the result of better communications, but also results from the increased impact of these events on a growing human population. In recent years, the population has increased greatly in regions of active tectonics. Northern India and the surrounding areas are prime examples. The consequence is that people and their man-made structures are concentrated close to active faults and...

In consequence, although the natural vegetation may be severely damaged, tropical cyclones may have less geomorphic impact. Low coral islands, such as those that occur on atolls, have the most vulnerable physical environments of all. They are little more than unconsolidated heaps of coralline sands and gravels resting on reef foundations, and are especially prone to overtopping by storm surge and cyclone-driven waves. Associated sediment movement can produce rema- able changes sometimes the complete obliteration of an island altogether, or on other occasions...
