Land and Marine Hydrogeology

by M. Taniguchi, K. Wang & T. Gamo

This volume represents an effort to bring together communities of land-based hydrogeology and marine hydrogeology. The issues of submarine groundwater discharge and its opposite phenomenon of seawater invasion...


Environmental Design Guidelines for Low Crested Coastal Structures

by H.F. Burcharth, Tina J Hawkins & Barbara Zanuttigh

The effect of manmade activities is primarily local but can extend far away from the location of intervention. This underlines the importance of establishing coastal zone management plans covering large stretches...


Oceanography: an Earth Science Perspective

by Dr Andy Cundy, Andy Cundy & Steve Kershaw

This work provides a wide perspective of the oceans by examining their places in the earth sciences, drawing together all the key strands of ocean study and presenting a holistic view of ocean processes, ancient...


Glaciers

Rising from the depths of the North Pacific lies a fabled island, now submerged just 15 feet below the surface of the ocean. Rumors and warnings about Cortes Bank abound, but among big wave surfers, this legendary...


Biogeochemistry of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter

by Dennis A. Hansell & Craig A. Carlson

Interest in marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is very high because it plays an important role in oceanic and global carbon cycling, which in turn impacts weather. Understanding the processes involved in...


Light Scattering by Particles in Water: Theoretical and Experimental Foundations: Theoretical and Experimental Foundations

by Miroslaw Jonasz & Georges Fournier

Light scattering-based methods are used to characterize small particles suspended in water in a wide range of disciplines ranging from oceanography, through medicine, to industry. The scope and accuracy of these...


Long-term Ecological Change in the Northern Gulf of Alaska

by R.B. Spies

This comprehensive text is a major synthesis on ecological change in the Gulf of Alaska. It encompasses the structural and annual changes, forces of change, long-ecological changes in the atmosphere and ocean,...


Global Climate Change and Response of Carbon Cycle in the Equatorial Pacific and Indian Oceans and Adjacent Landmasses

by Hodaka Kawahata & Yoshio A. Awaya

To understand the global warming mechanism, global mapping of primary production was carried out under the GCMAPS program. The program was concerned with marine and terrestrial environmental changes, which affect...


Instrumentation and Metrology in Oceanography

by Marc Le Menn

Through research, physical oceanography aims to solve the numerous problems stated by thermal, optical and dynamical properties of the oceans. Instrumentation and Metrology in Physical Oceanography describes...


Handbook of Clay Science

by F. Bergaya, B.K.G. Theng & G. Lagaly

The first general texts on clay mineralogy and the practical applications of clay, written by R.E. Grim, were published some 40-50 years ago. Since then, a vast literature has accumulated but this information...
