This book describes a new tool called the Generic Model System for simulations and assessment of potential radioactive spreading in the Arctic regions. It considers the present and future potential for spreading of radionuclear pollution from sources such as from the major Russian processing plants as well as from European sources such as the UK Sellafield plant. The book combines the expertise of professionals from the radionuclear and climate-change sciences.

This unique collaboration of Russian and Norwegian scientists examines the most recent data on the White Sea bathymetry, examines the ecosystem profile, and provides extensive historical marine and riverine data records. The book presents extensive data and numerical modelling simulations of the White Sea to provide a quantitative assessment of vulnerability of the Sea’s marine ecosystems, of future anthropogenic and climate change forcing.

Coastal eutrophication has been and still remains an important issue for the scientific community. Despite many efforts to mitigate coastal eutrophication, the problems associated with eutrophication are still far from being solved. This book focusses on the most recent scientific results in relation to specific eutrophication issues, e.g. definition(s) and causes; nutrient loads, cycling and limitation; reference conditions, primary effects and secondary effects; trend reversal (oligotrophication), as well as links to other pressures (climate change and top/down control). It also focusses on monitoring and modelling of coastal eutrophication, and adaptive and science-based nutrient management strategies. The book is based on selected papers from the Second International Symposium on Research and Management of Eutrophication in Coastal Ecosystems, held 20-23 June 2006 in Nyborg, Denmark.
Der aus Frankreich stammende Francesco Rastrelli (1700-1771) war einer der bedeutendsten Architekten Russlands im 18. Jahrhundert. Er war maßgeblich am Aufbau der neuen Hauptstadt St. Petersburg beteiligt. Das Buch stellt repräsentativ ausgewählte Werke Rastrellis - etwa die Winterpaläste, die Sommerresidenzen in Peterhof und Carskoe Selo, den Kremlpalast in Moskau oder Bauten für Herzog Biron in Kurland - vor. Auf der Grundlage einer umfassenden Quellenauswertung werden die Stilmittel des Baumeisters erläutert und auf westliche sowie altrussische Vorbilder in seinem Schaffen verwiesen. Kapitel zur historischen Situation in Russland, zur Organisation des Baubetriebs in St. Petersburg und zur Biografie Rastrellis runden die Darstellung ab. Ein chronologisch geordnetes Werkverzeichnis liegt dem Buch als CD-ROM bei. Jede der 131 Katalognummern beinhaltet Lage, Auftraggeber, Baugeschichte, ausführliche Beschreibung, Pläne Rastrellis, zeitgenössische Abbildungen, Quellen und weiterführende Literatur.
