Ice Composition and Glacier Dynamics
Av Roland A. Souchez, Reginald D. Lorrain
Inbunden, 1991
1202 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The study of ice composition represents an effective tool in our understanding of the dynamics of glaciers, ice sheets and ice shelves. The authors of this work relate the distribution of isotopes and impurities in ice masses to ice flow, to the key zone close to the ice-substratum interface and to …
Ice Composition and Glacier Dynamics
Av Roland A. Souchez, Reginald D. Lorrain
Häftad, 2012

Lägg i varukorg
Ice composition has until now been mostly used for reconstructing the environment of the past. A great research effort is made today to model the climate system in which the ice cover at the earth sur face plays a prominent role. To obtain a correct model of the ice sheets, due attention must be …
Numerical Simulation of Canopy Flows
Av Günter Groß
Häftad, 2011
550 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Starting with the description of meteorological variables in forest canopies and its parameter variations, a numerical three-dimentional model is developed. Its applicability is demonstrated, first, by wind sheltering effects of hedges and, second, by the effects of deforestation on local climate …
Sandstone Landforms
Häftad, 2011
1093 kr
Lägg i varukorg
As very few studies on geomorphological aspects of sandstones exist, this book demonstrates the significance of landforming processes from geological, geochemical and dynamic points of view. The worldwide examples include classic areas of sandstone research such as the Colorado Plateau, Saxony, …
Contaminants in Terrestrial Environments
Av Otto Fränzle
Häftad, 2011
550 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Defining ecology as a system-theory oriented synthesis ofboth earth and life sciences, the book aims at a novel co-herent understanding of chemicalimpact on the lower at-mosphere and characteristic types of terrestrial ecosystems.To this end comprehensive flux-analytical and hierarchicalmodelling …
Saturated Flow and Soil Structure
A Review of the Subject and Laboratory Experiments on the Basic Relationships
Häftad, 2011
1093 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Soil and water pollution have a serious impact on the environment, and soil scientists and hydrologists need fundamental help for the estimation of the consequences. The experiments described in this volume deal with the quantification of the morphology of interaggregate voids and of the flow …
Karst in China
Its Geomorphology and Environment
Häftad, 2011
1093 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The writer has been occupied with karst problems for 50 years and first visited China in 1977 as leader of a Royal Society delegation of British geomorphologists - the first delegation from the UK to visit China since the inauguration of the new China and at the end of the Cultural Revolution …
Rockglaciers
Indicators for the Present and Former Geoecology in High Mountain Environments
Häftad, 2012
1093 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Rockglaciers are the visible expression of the creep of mountain permafrost. They are indicative of special geo-ecologic and geomorphic conditions regarding thermal situation, talus production, hydrology, and hazards in high mountain environments of all major mountain systems on earth. As relict …
Earth Surface Systems
Häftad, 2011
1093 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Discussions of "systems" and the "systems approach" tend to fall into one of two categories: the panegyrical and the disparaging. Scholars who praise the systems approach do so in the belief that it is a powerful and precise method of study. Scholars who try to shoot it down fail to see any …
Loess in China
Häftad, 2011
1093 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The distribution, deposition, composition and texture of loess in China is studied. Based on on-the-spot investigations, Loess and the Environment supplies information on: the loess-paleosol time sequence, loess fabric, and geological events derived from studying biological relics. Proceeding from …
Karst Hydrology
With Special Reference to the Dinaric Karst
Häftad, 2011
1093 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Karst is characterized particularly by special landforms and sub surface drainage. The various actions of water result in numerous variations of surface and sub-surface karst forms. They also bring about distinctive geologic-morphologic forms, and more striking ly, specific flora and fauna. The …
Processes in Karst Systems
Physics, Chemistry, and Geology
Häftad, 2011
1527 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Karst Systems deal with the question of how the subsurface drainage system, typical of Karst areas develops from its initial state to maturity. Equal attention is given to physical, chemical and geological conditions which determine karstification. The reader will find discussions of mass …
River Morphology
A Guide for Geoscientists and Engineers
Av Joachim Mangelsdorf, Karl Scheurmann m. fl.
Häftad, 2011
550 kr
Lägg i varukorg
River Morphology deals with the interaction between flowing waters in rivers and their environment. Based on the representation of basic flow parameters, the geometry, classification and historic development of rivers are treated. Any change in the environment, occurring naturally or caused by man, …
System-Theoretical Modelling in Surface Water Hydrology
Häftad, 2013
550 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Modelling of hydrological rainfall-runoff processes is facilitated by the application of the systemtheoretical approach to linear, nonlinear and stochastic models. To this purpose, the variables involved in methods for determinating areal precipitation and baseflow separation are discussed. The …
