Mine Pit Lakes
SME 2009; US$ 109.00Water quality of pit lakes is one of the most critical environmental issues facing the global mining industry. As ore grades decrease and operators strive to improve efficiency, the number of active pit mines will continue to outpace their underground counterparts in the years ahead. more...
Hydrological and Limnological Aspects of Lake Monitoring
Wiley 2008; US$ 405.00Provides an extensive overview of all the most important aspects of lake monitoring studies describing methods of water sampling, analytical determination and data interpretation. Now that all EC countries must receive the EC Directive on Water Quality, there is a greater need to improve the quality of measurements, both in chemical and biological... more...
Nonlinear Internal Waves in Lakes
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99Internal wave dynamics in lakes (and oceans) is an important physical component of geophysical fluid mechanics of 'quiescent' water bodies of the Globe. The formation of internal waves requires seasonal stratification of the water bodies and generation by (primarily) wind forces. Because they propagate in basins of variable depth, a generated... more...
Physics of Lakes
Springer 2010; US$ 139.99This first volume in the treatise on the Physics of Lakes deals with the formulation of the mathematical and physical background. A large number of lakes on Earth are described, presenting their morphology as well as the causes of their response to the driving environment. Because the physics of lakes cannot be described without the language used in... more...
Physics of Lakes
Springer 2011; US$ 219.99The overwhelming focus of this 2nd volume of "Physics of Lakes" is adequately expressed by its subtitle "Lakes as Oscillators". It deals with barotropic and baroclinic waves in homogeneous and stratified lakes on the rotating Earth and comprises 12 chapters, starting with rotating shallow-water waves, demonstrating their classification... more...
Science, Philosophy and Physical Geography
Taylor and Francis 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 perceived philosophically ignorant physical geography. Science, Philosophy and Physical... more...
The Physical Geography of Western Europe
Oxford University Press, UK 2005; US$ 324.99The Physical Geography of Western Europe is designed to be a state-of -the-art evaluation of the physical environment of Western Europe, being both retrospective and prospective in its perception of environmental change. The unique natural and regional environments of Western Europe are discussed, as well as the physical geographic framework of the... more...
