Book Synopsis Contaminated Rivers by : Jerry R. Miller
Download or read book Contaminated Rivers written by Jerry R. Miller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introductory understanding of fluvial geomorphic principles and how these principles can be integrated with geochemical data to cost-effectively characterize, assess and remediate contaminated rivers. The book stresses the importance of needing to understand both geomorphic and geochemical processes. Thus, the overall presentation is first an analysis of physical and chemical processes and, second, a discussion of how an understanding of these processes can be applied to specific aspects of site assessment and remediation. Such analyses provide the basis for a realistic prediction of the kinds of environmental responses that might be expected, for example, during future changes in climate or land-use.
Book Synopsis Marine Ecology by : Martin R. Speight
Download or read book Marine Ecology written by Martin R. Speight and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book began life as a series of lectures given to second and third year undergraduates at Oxford University. These lectures were designed to give students insights as to how marine ecosystems functioned, how they were being affected by natural and human interventions, and how we might be able to conserve them and manage them sustainably for the good of people, both recreationally and economically. This book presents 10 chapters, beginning with principles of oceanography important to ecology, through discussions of the magnitude of marine biodiversity and the factors influencing it, the functioning of marine ecosystems at within trophic levels such as primary production, competition and dispersal, to different trophic level interactions such as herbivory, predation and parasitism. The final three chapters look at the more applied aspects of marine ecology, discussion fisheries, human impacts, and management and conservation. Other textbooks covering similar topics tend to treat the topics from the point of view of separate ecosystems, with chapters on reefs, rocks and deep sea. This book however is topic driven as described above, and each chapter makes full use of examples from all appropriate marine ecosystems. The book is illustrated throughout with many full colour diagrams and high quality photographs. The book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students at colleges and universities, and it is hoped that the many examples from all over the world will provide global relevance and interest. Both authors have long experience of research and teaching in marine ecology. Martin Speight’s first degree was in marine zoology at UCNW Bangor, and he has taught marine ecology and conservation at Oxford for 25 years. His research students study tropical marine ecology from the Caribbean through East Africa to the Far East. Peter Henderson is a Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford, and is Director of Pisces Conservation in the UK. He has worked on marine and freshwater fisheries, as well as ecological and economic impacts and exploitation of the sea in North and South America as well as Europe.

Book Synopsis Sediment Dredging at Superfund Megasites by : National Research Council
Download or read book Sediment Dredging at Superfund Megasites written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-10-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the nation's estuaries, lakes and other water bodies contain contaminated sediments that can adversely affect fish and wildlife and may then find their way into people's diets. Dredging is one of the few options available for attempting to clean up contaminated sediments, but it can uncover and re-suspend buried contaminants, creating additional exposures for wildlife and people. At the request of Congress, EPA asked the National Research Council (NRC) to evaluate dredging as a cleanup technique. The book finds that, based on a review of available evidence, dredging's ability to decrease environmental and health risks is still an open question. Analysis of pre-dredging and post-dredging at about 20 sites found a wide range of outcomes in terms of surface sediment concentrations of contaminants: some sites showed increases, some no change, and some decreases in concentrations. Evaluating the potential long-term benefits of dredging will require that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency step up monitoring activities before, during and after individual cleanups to determine whether it is working there and what combinations of techniques are most effective.

Book Synopsis Techniques to Reduce the Sediment Resuspension Caused by Dredging by : Gene L. Raymond
Download or read book Techniques to Reduce the Sediment Resuspension Caused by Dredging written by Gene L. Raymond and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a larger effort to develop a method to predict the extent of sediment resuspension and contaminant release when dredging in contaminated sediments, field studies are being conducted to evaluate new and existing dredging methods. These studies consist of efforts to determine the level of sediment resuspended by a given dredge type in a given sediment. Whenever possible, the studies are conducted such that different dredges operate under the same conditions or even in the same locations. The studies also evaluate the effects of various operational parameters on the resuspension of sediments. This paper presents the results of the first 2 years of study and includes data from both field studies and extensive literature review. Different dredge types produce different amounts of suspended sediment in different parts of the water column. Resuspensions caused by cutterhead and hopper dredges tend to remain in the lower water column, while bucket dredges increase resuspensions throughout the water columns. The amount of resuspension caused by a given dredge type also depends on the operating techniques used with the dredge. Sediment resuspension can be lessened by changing operating techniques, as in the case of the cutterhead, or by modifying the equipment, such as enclosing a clamshell bucket. Special purpose dredges can also be used but their lower production rates limit their application.
