Encyclopedia of Sedimentology
Scholarly work on sedimentology. Each article is signed and has a bibliography. Illustrated. Indexed.
Encyclopedia of Geochemistry
This is a complete and authoritative reference text on an evolving field. Over 200 international scientists have written over 340 separate topics on different aspects of geochemistry including organics, trace elements, isotopes, high and low temperature geochemistry, and ore deposits, to name just a few.
The Encyclopedia of Geochemistry and Environmental Sciences
"Geochemistry is coupled with Environmental Science in this volume because it is the chemical pollution of our planet's air and water that is claiming the attention of many geologists and chemists today."--Preface.
Earth's Changing Climate
Throughout Earth's history the planet has experienced shifts in its climate. Earth's climate has naturally been affected by volcanic eruptions, orbital shifts, and solar irradiance. Human contributions from greenhouse gas emissions have also contributed to warming trends. In Earth's Changing Climate, explore the science behind and the history of this phenomenon and the steps being taken to reverse its affects. Book jacket.
Scientific and Technical Information Resources
This book focuses on current practices in scientific and technical communication, historical aspects, and characteristics and bibliographic control of various forms of scientific and technical literature. It integrates the inventory approach for scientific and technical communication.
Living on the Shores of Hawaii
Rarely a day goes by in Hawai‘i without the media reporting on environmental issues stemming from public debate. Will the proposed housing development block my access to the beach? Is the rising sea level going to cause flooding where I live? How does overfishing damage the reef? Is the water clean where I surf? Living on the Shores of Hawai‘i discusses the paradox of environmental loss under a management system considered by many to be one of the most stringent in the nation. It reviews a wide range of environmental concerns in Hawai‘i with an eye toward resolution by focusing on "place-based" management, a theme consistent with—and borrowing from—the Hawaiian ahupua‘a system. A...
Quaternary alluvial fan morphodynamics and basin sedimentation in North Iran
Availability of water and desiccation of important water reservoirs is a vital challenge in semi-arid to arid climates with growing economy and population. Low quantities of precipitation and high evaporation rates leave the water supply vulnerable to human activity and climatic variations. Endorheic basins of Northern Iran were hydrologically landlocked within geological timescales and thus bear evidence of past variations of water resources in generations of water related landforms, like abandoned lake level shorelines, alluvial fans and stream terraces. Understanding the development of these landforms reveals crucial information about past water reservoirs and landscape history. This stud...
