Book Synopsis Advances in River Sediment Research by : Shoji Fukuoka
Download or read book Advances in River Sediment Research written by Shoji Fukuoka and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sediments, which constitute the surface of the Earth, start their journey to rivers with the energy obtained from rainfalls, fl oods and other natural processes. Due to transport of sediments, rivers develop with various appearances and functions, and play a crucial role in the activities of human beings and the life cycles of other species. River
Book Synopsis From River to Rock Record by : Stephanie K. Davidson
Download or read book From River to Rock Record written by Stephanie K. Davidson and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last couple of decades, fluvial geomorphology and fluvial sedimentary geology have been developing in parallel, rather than in conjunction as might be desired. This volume is the result of the editors' attempt to bridge this gap in order to understand better how sediments in modern rivers become preserved in the rock record, and to improve interpretation from that record of the history of past environmental conditions. The catalyst for the volume was a conference with the same title hosted at the University of Aberdeen School of Geosciences, in Aberdeen, Scotland, on 12-14 January 2009.

Book Synopsis River-Dominated Shelf Sediments of East Asian Seas by : P.D. Clift
Download or read book River-Dominated Shelf Sediments of East Asian Seas written by P.D. Clift and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rivers of East Asia are some of the largest and most important to human society and the global economy. They drain a variety of terrains from the Tibetan plateau, the hill country of southern China and the steep mountains of Taiwan. The sediment they carry potentially records the longterm evolution of continental environments within the marine stratigraphic record. Sediments reaching the ocean have to traverse the wide continental shelves where they may be reworked and transported by longshore currents, typhoon storm waves, as well as large ocean currents such as the Kuroshio. Deciphering any marine record requires us to understand the dynamics of sediment transport on the continental shelves, and this region acts as a global type example of such processes. Studies in this volume span a wide range of subdisciplines in the marine sciences and provide new insights into how sediment is distributed offshore after leaving the river mouths

Book Synopsis Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Subsidence: Causes, Consequences, and Strategies by : J.D. Milliman
Download or read book Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Subsidence: Causes, Consequences, and Strategies written by J.D. Milliman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1996-02-29 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse-induced climate warming increasingly appears to be a reality, and the warming climate will be accompanied by an accelerated sea level rise - as much as 60-100 cm over the next century. What is commonly absent in the discussion of rising sea level, however, is the role played by the subsidence of low-lying coastal areas, which can have a far greater local effect than the eustatic rise of the sea. The combined sea-level rise and land subsidence will almost certainly make the greatest impact on coastal societies in the densely populated regions of southern Asia, but its effects will be felt globally. This volume explores the concepts of sea-level rise and coastal subsidence, both natural and anthropogenically accelerated, in the form of a series of case studies in such diverse locations as Bangkok, Bangladesh, Venice, and the Niger and Mississippi deltas, as well as a discussion of the economic, engineering and policy responses that must be considered if the effects of local sea-level rise are to be mitigated.

Book Synopsis Determination of Organic Compounds in Soils, Sediments and Sludges by : T R Crompton
Download or read book Determination of Organic Compounds in Soils, Sediments and Sludges written by T R Crompton and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-12-02 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume to comprehensively discuss the range of methods available for the analysis of organic compounds in soils, river and marine sediments and industrial sludges. It commences with a review of the instrumentation used in soil and sediment laboratories and indicates the types of organics that can be determined by each technique. Subsequent chapters discuss the analysis of various types of organics in a logical and systematic manner. It provides guidance on the applicability of techniques in certain environments, the advantages and disadvantages of using one method over another, likely interference, the sensitivity of particular techniques, and detection limits.

Download or read book River Sediments written by Greig Ramsey and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sediments are loose earth materials with variable grain size such as sand, silt and clay that accumulate on the land surface, in river and lake beds, and on the ocean floor. This book reports how data obtained for different elements (stable and radioactive) present in bottom sediments and suspended particulate matter (SPM) can be utilised to investigate hydrological processes occurring in different hydrographic basins in Brazil, South America. Particular attention is directed towards describing the importance of sediments on the adsorption of different stable/radioactive constituents. This book also evaluates the most common methods utilised to obtain metal background values for soil and sediments. These techniques are helpful when it is necessary to differentiate the background metal concentration from the area, from the pollutant metal concentration. Also reviewed is the data on content of aliphatic hydrocarbons (HC), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and suspended matter in snow, ice and under-ice water and bottom sediments at Northern Dvina mouth. Other chapters in this book examine the decomposition rate of organic matter in river sediments using the litterbag method, as well as measurement of O2 consumption rate by microbial respiration and microbiomass in sediment, and the speciation of some spiked components of sediments such as sand and clays. It is intended that this review will provide the present state of knowledge and current trends for investigators in this field.

Book Synopsis Sediment load from major rivers into Puget Sound and its adjacent waters by : Jonathan A. Czuba
Download or read book Sediment load from major rivers into Puget Sound and its adjacent waters written by Jonathan A. Czuba and published by U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, an estimated load of 6.5 million tons of sediment is transported by rivers to Puget Sound and its adjacent waters—enough to cover a football field to the height of six Space Needles.This estimated load is highly uncertain because sediment studies and available sediment-load data are sparse and historically limited to specific rivers, short time frames, and a narrow range of hydrologic conditions.The largest sediment loads are carried by rivers with glaciated volcanoes in their headwaters.Research suggests 70 percent of the sediment load delivered to Puget Sound is from rivers and 30 percent is from shoreline erosion, but the magnitude of specific contributions is highly uncertain.Most of a river’s sediment load occurs during floods.
