Produktinformationen zu „Rivers and Floodplains (PDF)“
Rivers and Floodplains is concerned with the origin,
geometry, water flow, sediment transport, erosion and deposition
associated with modern alluvial rivers and floodplains, how they
vary in time and space, and how this information is used to
interpret deposits of ancient rivers and floodplains. There is
specific reference to the types and lifestyles of organisms
associated with fluvial environments, human interactions with
rivers and floodplains, associated environmental and engineering
concerns, as well as the economic aspects of fluvial deposits,
particularly the modeling of fluvial hydrocarbon reservoirs and
aquifers. Methods of studying rivers and floodplains and their
deposits are also discussed. Although basic principles are
emphasized, many examples are detailed.
Particular emphasis is placed on how an understanding of the
nature of modern rivers and floodplains is required before any
problems concerning rivers and floodplains, past or present, can be
addressed rationally.
Rivers and Floodplains is designed as a core text for
senior undergraduate and graduate students studying modern or
ancient fluvial environments, particularly in earth sciences,
environmental sciences and physical geography, but also in civil
and agricultural engineering. College teachers, researchers, and
practising professionals will also find the book an invaluable
reference.
* * Presents a process-based approach, which is relevant to modern
curricula.
* Discusses methods of studying rivers and floodplains and their
deposits.
* Provides many detailed examples throughout the text.
* Emphasises the basic principles of this subject.
* As the first synthesis of this entire field, it will be a
must-have for all students studying modern or ancient fluvial
environments.
* Teachers, researchers and practising professionals will find
this an invaluable reference tool.
* Rivers and Floodplains will also be of interest to
geologists, geographers and engineers.
