Ice Composition And Glacier Dynamics

by Reginald D. Lorrain e Roland A. Souchez

135,18€ + 10% CARD

free shipping

 This work on the dynamics of glaciers, ice sheets and ice shelves relates the distribution of isotopes and impurities in ice masses to ice flow, to the key zone close to the ice-substratum interface and to the mechanisms effective in the contact zone between glacier and ocean.

Ice Composition And Glacier Dynamics

by Reginald D. Lorrain e Roland A. Souchez

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 The idea behind the title of this book is that the study of ice composition can shed some light on the various processes operating at the ice- bedrock and ice-ocean interfaces and more generally on glacier dy- namics.

Numerical Simulation Of Canopy Flows

by Gunter Gro

59,61€ + 10% CARD

 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 in complex terrain. Scientists in ecology, agricultural botany and meteorology, but also urban and regional lanners will profit from this study finding the most effective solution for their specific problems.

Sandstone Landforms

by Ann Young e Robert Young

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 This volume aims to demonstrate the significance of landforming processes from geological, geochemical and dynamic points of view. Evidence is provided for climatic influences on sandstone landforms, taking into account geochemical weathering processes and comparative studies.

Karst In China - Its Geomorphology And Environment

by Marjorie M. Sweeting

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 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 (Sweeting 1978). It was clear from that visit that a study of the Chinese karst would help our understanding of the problems of karst development and that many of the geomorphological difficulties which at times had stultified karst thinking in Europe, might gain from the Chinese approach and ideas. First, for example, the Chinese karst is in its initial stages much more fluvial in origin than that of the Dinaric karst. Problems which worried European karst geomorphologists, such as dry val leys and the debates about karst base levels and the water table have not worried the Chinese so much. The development of the S Chinese karst has proceeded from an original fluvially eroded land scape which was later karstified. Secondly, the large area distri bution of limestones in China, and the spectacular areas of karst, compared with the often relatively small areas of karst in Europe, have focussed our attention upon the fundamental issues of karstification, rather than upon the endless discussions on the ori gin of the small and less significant landforms in the karst.

Rockglaciers - Indicators For The Present And Former Geoecology In High Mountain Environments

by Dietrich Barsch

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 Rockglaciers are indicative of special geo-ecologic and geomorphic conditions regarding thermal situation, talus production, hydrology and hazards in high mountain environments. This work presents a treatment of this landform, placing it in its environmental context.

Earth Surface Systems

by Richard J. Huggett

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 Discussions of "systems" and the "systems approach" tend to fall into one of two categories: the panegyrical and the disparaging. This tilt at the systems approach is mild indeed compared with the com- ments of an anonymous reviewer of a paper by myself concerned with the systems approach as applied to the soil.

Karst Hydrology - With Special Reference To The Dinaric Karst

by Ognjen Bonacci

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 Karst is characterized particularly by special landforms and sub- surface drainage. It is equally true that the first theories on water circulation in karst were developed according to ex- periences in the Dinaric karst.

Processes In Karst Systems - Physics, Chemistry, And Geology

by Wolfgang Dreybrodt

158,34€ + 10% CARD

 <B>Karst Systems </B>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 transport, chemical kinetics, hydrodynamics of fluxes, and the role of dissolution and precipitation of Calcite as they occur in experiments and natural environments. It offers a wealth of information on a complex natural system to hydrologists, hydrochemists, geologists and geographers.

River Morphology - A Guide For Geoscientists And Engineers

by Fritz-Heinz Wei, Joachim Mangelsdorf e Karl Scheurmann

59,61€ + 10% CARD

 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.

Desertification - Natural Background And Human Mismanagement

by Monique Mainguet

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 Controversial, and often discussed with passion and vehemence, desertification is a problem on whose solution the survival of millions of humans is dependent. This book aims at an understanding of what is commonly called "desertification" - a term which has a connotation of irreversibility, spreading and emergence of desert-like landscapes: "land degradation" is proposed to replace it. The purpose is to present what has happened in reality, and what might be done. Illustrative worldwide analyses allow a more realistic evaluation of global land degradation. Each level of technology, excessive or insufficient, creates its own mismanagement. This is reflected in a decrease in soil productivity and eventually land degradation. The benefit to the reader is an awareness of the ecozones which have undergone the most severe land degradation, and a global overview of the phenomena, mechanisms and existing solutions.
