  • River Variability and Complexityby Stanley A. Schumm

    Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 49.00

    River 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... more...

  • Streamflow Measurementby Reginald W. Herschy

    Taylor & Francis 2008; US$ 295.00

    We often have the dichotomy: ‘too little water or too much’. In either case streamflow measurement is crucial. Climate change could have a significant affect on water resources and flood management. Streamflow measurement is necessary for the measurement of flood flows which can cause widespread distress and loss of life in many places. Streamflow... more...

  • Large Riversby Avijit Gupta

    Wiley 2008; US$ 315.00

    Large Rivers: Geomorphology and Management explores an important topic in geomorphology and sedimentology: the form and function of major rivers. Our knowledge of the big rivers of the world is limited. It is currently difficult to recognise large rivers of the past from relict sedimentary deposits or to structure management policies for long international... more...

  • Stream Hydrologyby Nancy D. Gordon; Thomas A. McMahon; Brian L. Finlayson; Christopher J. Gippel; Rory J. Nathan

    Wiley 2004; US$ 105.00

    Since 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... more...

  • Geomorphology and River Managementby Gary Brierley; Kirstie Fryirs

    Wiley 2008; US$ 149.95

    This book outlines a generic set of procedures, termed the River Styles Framework, which provides a set of tools for interpreting river character, behavior, condition, and recovery potential. Applications of the framework generate a coherent package of geomorphic information, providing a physical template for river rehabilitation activities. management... more...

  • Rivers Handbookby Peter P. Calow

    Wiley 2009; US$ 340.00

    Fast changing legislation and increasing environmental awareness within the non-scientific community demands that the modern approach to the management of rivers and water resources should be based on a sound understanding and application of the scientific and ecological principles that underlie freshwater processes. In two volumes, The Rivers Handbook... more...

  • A World of Riversby Ellen Wohl

    University of Chicago Press 2010; US$ 25.00

    Far from being the serene, natural streams of yore, modern rivers have been diverted, dammed, dumped in, and dried up, all in efforts to harness their power for human needs. But these rivers have also undergone environmental change. The old adage says you can’t step in the same river twice, and Ellen Wohl would agree—natural and synthetic... more...

  • Braided Riversby Gregory H. Sambrook Smith; James L. Best; Charlie S. Bristow; Geoff E. Petts; Ian Jarvis

    Wiley 2009; US$ 189.95

    This important book brings together eighteen cutting-edge research papers first presented at the Second International Conference on Braided Rivers. It includes the latest research on the dynamics, deposits and ecology of these rivers. Essential reading for geomorphologists, earth scientists, engineers and ecologists with a pure and applied interest... more...

  • Rivers and Floodplainsby John S. Bridge

    Wiley 2009; US$ 129.95

    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... more...
