Book Synopsis Flood and Megaflood Processes and Deposits by : I. Peter Martini
Download or read book Flood and Megaflood Processes and Deposits written by I. Peter Martini and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this publication is the understanding of large floods and their impact on the Earth's surface. The major objectives are: 1) to take a second look at what constitutes a megaflood that the principle of uniformitarianism is at some loss to explain and 2) to try to determine what could happen in such large floods by analyzing those that occur in front of glaciers, in alluvial-fans and in alluvial valleys. The products of these floods are presented in terms of sedimentary deposits, erosional features and damage to human activities. The volume bears out the concept that sedimentological analysis can be a powerful tool, not only for reconstructing processes that have acted on ancient landscapes, but also as a technique for risk assessment of certain troubled areas. Therefore, this volume is of interest not only to sedimentologists/gemorphlogists, but also to engineers, landuse planners and anyone interested in the interrelation between humans and the environment.

Download or read book Catastrophic Flooding written by L. Mayer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1987, contains a collection of papers presented at the 18th Binghamton Symposium, focusing on the topic of catastrophic flooding. These papers make the case for the careful collection and interpretation of data from which the importance and effects of catastrophic flooding may be deduced. Questions tackled include: what are the causes and effects of catastrophic flooding? What parameters should be used to measure them? What effect do they have on erosional and depositional landforms? Can modelling be used to predict their flow dynamics?
Book Synopsis Flood by Design by : Michael J. Oard
Download or read book Flood by Design written by Michael J. Oard and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2008 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book by Mike Oard about the Retreating Stage of Noah's flood contains powerful evidence that the catastrophe really happened, and as a consequence, that the Bible is accurate and reliable. The Retreating Stage of the Flood, the seven-month period when the waters of the Flood retreated from the continents into the ocean basins, is the last global geological process to significantly impact our earth. And the mark it left on the landscape is still clearly visible"--Foreword.
Book Synopsis The Great Flood Of 1993 by : Stanley Changnon
Download or read book The Great Flood Of 1993 written by Stanley Changnon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flood that affected a third of the United States during the summer of 1993 was the nation's worst, ranking as a once-in-300-years event. It severely tested national, state, and local systems for managing natural resources and for handling emergencies, illuminating both the strengths and weaknesses in existing methods of preparing for and dealing with massive prolonged flooding. Through detailed case studies, this volume diagnoses the social and economic impacts of the disaster, assessing how resource managers, flood forecasters, public institutions, the private sector, and millions of volunteers responded to it. The first comprehensive evaluation of the 1993 flood, this book examines the way in which floods are forecast and monitored, the effectiveness of existing recovery processes, and how the nation manages its floodplains. The volume concludes with recommendations for the future, in hope of better preparing the country for the next flood or other comparable disaster.

Download or read book Floods written by K. J. Beven and published by . This book was released on 1989-07-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based upon papers presented at the BGRG symposium held in 1987 at the University of Lancaster. The topics covered include the latest developments in describing flood flow generation, interpretation of flood sediments, reconstruction of flood magnitude and other aspects of floods, as well as an assessment of the effects of floods within the framework of longer term landform evolution. The contributors were from a range of disciplines, but had a common interest in the dynamics of fluvial floods and their effect on the landscape. The volume will be of use to hydrologists, hydraulic engineers, geomorphologists and sedimentologists.
Book Synopsis Mapping the Risk of Flood, Mass Movement and Local Subsidence by : Juan Carlos Mora Chaparro
Download or read book Mapping the Risk of Flood, Mass Movement and Local Subsidence written by Juan Carlos Mora Chaparro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a methodology for the identification of flooding in urban areas, by the denomination of 1) urban hydrographic basin; and 2) polygon of flood risk. This work will enable readers to elaborate a preventive program in Latin America and analogous regions. The authorities could use it as a basis to create urban planning strategies or preventive programs to reduce or eliminate the flooding hazard. The growth of an urban area implies that the natural terrain is covered by an asphalt folder, which results in an Urban Hydrographic Basin where rainwater drains down its streets filtering through sewers towards rainwater drains or wastewater. Initially, the drainages are calculated according to the population in a specific urban area, however, the population growth causes the growth of the urban area, where the old drainages and new roads are linked, causing their saturation and chaos. More water runs down the streets and is accumulated in the lower areas, causing flooding.
