Book excerpt: Abby Phillips Metzger's book of personal stories recounts a forgotten Oregon river, the Willamette, as it was before white settlement. Once a rich network of channels and sloughs, the Willamette today bears the scars of development and degradation. Yet, through canoe trips and intimate explorations of the river, Metzger discovers glints of resiliency: a beaver trolling through a slough, native fish in quiet backwaters, and strong currents that carry undertones of the wild Willamette. Together with tales from farmers and scientists alike, these experiences lead Metzger to ask whether something scarred can fully heal, and whether a disjointed river can be whole again. A story of re-discovery as told by a learner, Meander Scars will appeal to readers of literary nonfiction, river advocates, naturalists, and outdoor enthusiasts interested in sustaining healthy river systems for themselves, their children, and beyond.

Book Synopsis Tectonic Geomorphology by : Douglas W. Burbank
Download or read book Tectonic Geomorphology written by Douglas W. Burbank and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-05-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tectonic geomorphology is the study of the interplay betweentectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regionsof active deformation. Recent advances in the quantification ofrates and physical basis of tectonic and surface processes haverejuvenated the field of tectonic geomorphology. Modern tectonicgeomorphology is an exciting and highly integrative field whichutilizes techniques and data derived from studies of geomorphology,seismology, geochronology, structure, geodesy, and Quaternaryclimate change. While emphasizing new insights from the last decadeof research, Tectonic Geomorphology reviews the fundamentals of thesubject which include the nature of faulting and folding, thecreation and use of geomorphic markers for tracing deformation,chronological techniques which date deformation, geodetictechniques for defining recent deformation, and paleoseismologicapproaches to calibrate past deformation. The overall focus of this book is on new interpretations oflandform evolution and insights on the interplay between surfaceprocesses and tectonics that emerge from integrative studies. Theauthors have developed an up-to-date interpretation of landscapesin tectonically active environments for upper-level undergraduateand graduate earth science students and practicinggeologists.

Includes the latest technological advances used in dating:Uranium series and dating and observation. Emphasizes the role of surface processes. Focuses on landscapes at different time scales. Provides strong coverage on numerical modeling of tectonicallyactive landscapes. Presents the recent approaches to calibrating rates of upliftand erosion. Stresses the tectonics of active plate margins in a detailedyet succinct way. Contains "Chapter introductions," "Chapter summaries," and"References" that reinforce principles and theory as well asprovide additional background information.
Book Synopsis The Natural Communities of Georgia by : Leslie Edwards
Download or read book The Natural Communities of Georgia written by Leslie Edwards and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Natural Communities of Georgia presents a comprehensive overview of the state’s natural landscapes, providing an ecological context to enhance understanding of this region’s natural history. Georgia boasts an impressive range of natural communities, assemblages of interacting species that have either been minimally impacted by modern human activities or have successfully recovered from them. This guide makes the case that identifying these distinctive communities and the factors that determine their distribution are central to understanding Georgia’s ecological diversity and the steps necessary for its conservation. Within Georgia’s five major ecoregions the editors identify and describe a total of sixty-six natural communities, such as the expansive salt marshes of the barrier islands in the Maritime ecoregion, the fire-driven longleaf pine woodlands of the Coastal Plain, the beautiful granite outcrops of the Piedmont, the rare prairies of the Ridge and Valley, and the diverse coves of the Blue Ridge. With contributions from scientists who have managed, researched, and written about Georgia landscapes for decades, the guide features more than four hundred color photographs that reveal the stunning natural beauty and diversity of the state. The book also explores conservation issues, including rare or declining species, current and future threats to specific areas, and research needs, and provides land management strategies for preserving, restoring, and maintaining biotic communities. The Natural Communities of Georgia is an essential reference for ecologists and other scientists, as well as a rich resource for Georgians interested in the region’s natural heritage.
Book Synopsis Sediment Transport by : Faruk Bhuiyan
Download or read book Sediment Transport written by Faruk Bhuiyan and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to put together recent developments on sediment transport and morphological processes. There are twelve chapters in this book contributed by different authors who are currently involved in relevant research. First three chapters provide information on basic and advanced flow mechanisms including turbulence and movement of particles in water. Examples of computational procedures for sediment transport and morphological changes are given in the next five chapters. These include empirical predictions and numerical computations. Chapters nine and ten present some insights on environmental concerns with sediment transport. Last two contributions deal with two large-scale case studies related to changes in the transport and provenance of glacial marine sediments, and processes involving land slides.
