Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systemsby George F. Pinder
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 130.00Cutting-edge techniques for groundwater modeling using GIS technology Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systems covers fundamental information on flow and mass transport modeling and demonstrates how GIS technology makes these models and analyses more accurate than ever before. GIS technology allows for swift organization, quantification, and interpretation of large quantities of geohydrological data with computer accuracy and minimal risk of human error. This book's companion Web site provides the Princeton Transport Code, as well as the plug-in extensions required to interface this code with the Argus ONE numerical environment software enclosed with this book. Plug-in extensions for MODFLOW and MT3D computer codes... more...
Overland Flowby Anthony J Parsons
CRC Press 1992; US$ 149.95Encompassing geomorphology, hydrology and agricultural engineering, this provides an interdisciplinary review of a topic important in both Scientific And Practical Terms - With The Specific Aim Of Promoting interaction between modellers, field workers and laboratory experimentalists. more...
Science, Philosophy and Physical Geographyby Robert Inkpen
Routledge 2004; US$ 57.95This accessible and engaging text explores the relationship between philosophy, science and physical geography. It addresses an imbalance that exists in opinion, teaching and to a lesser extent research, between a philosophically enriched human geography and a philosophically ignorant physical geography.Science, Philosophy and Physical Geography challenges the myth that there is a single self-evident scientific method that can and is applied by physical geographers. The book explores the various philosophies that have been developed to study and explain the key questions that are asked by physical geographers in their research. The purpose here is raise awareness of problems and issues that appear a natural and normal part of working processes.... more...
Global Water Dynamicsby Emanuel Mazor
Marcel Dekker Inc 2004; US$ 179.95Utilizing observation-based research approaches to study the dynamic behaviour of global water systems and the underlying variables affecting global water balance and supply, this reference specifically focuses on the study, characteristics, and management of fossil groundwaters. more...
Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systemsby Shreedhar Masky
Taylor & Francis 2004; US$ 79.95Groundwater Hydrologyby K. R. Rushton
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 169.95Groundwater is a vital source of water throughout the world. As the number of groundwater investigations increase, it is important to understand how to develop comprehensive quantified conceptual models and appreciate the basis of analytical solutions or numerical methods of modelling groundwater flow. Groundwater Hydrology: Conceptual and Computational Models describes advances in both conceptual and numerical modelling. It gives insights into the interpretation of field information, the development of conceptual models, the use of computational models based on analytical and numerical techniques, the assessment of the adequacy of models, and the use of computational models for predictive purposes. It focuses on the study of groundwater flow... more...
Stream Hydrologyby Nancy D. Gordon; Thomas A. McMahon; Brian L. Finlayson; Christopher J. Gippel; Rory J. Nathan
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 210.00Since the publication of the first edition (1994) there have been rapid developments in the application of hydrology, geomorphology and ecology to stream management. In particular, growth has occurred in the areas of stream rehabilitation and the evaluation of environmental flow needs. The concept of stream health has been adopted as a way of assessing stream resources and setting management goals. Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists Second Edition documents recent research and practice in these areas. Chapters provide information on sampling, field techniques, stream analysis, the hydrodynamics of moving water, channel form, sediment transport and commonly used statistical methods such as flow duration and flood frequency analysis.... more...
River Variability and Complexityby Stanley A. Schumm
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 46.00River Variability and Complexity explores the factors behind the significant variation observed within and between river systems. It provides examples and explanations of river variability, including response to human activities. An excellent summary for students, geomorphologists, geologists, river engineers and those attempting to interpret ancient fluvial deposits or anticipate river behavior. more...
Principles of Glacier Mechanicsby Roger LeB. Hooke
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 86.00This new edition of a successful textbook is intended to give upper-level students the tools they need to understand modern glaciology. Practising geologists and glaciologists will also find it useful as a reference book. Relatively simple concepts are introduced first, followed by mathematically more sophisticated chapters. Student exercises are included. more...
