Contaminants and Clean Technologies provides valuable information on environmental contaminants such as industrial pollutants, micropollutants, pesticides, endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals, toxins, and hormones.

The modem geological sciences are characterized by extraordinarily rapid prog- ress, as well as by the development and application of numerous new and refined methods, most of them handling an enormous amount of data available from all the continents and oceans.

Nearly two billion people depend on hundreds of millions of smallholder farmers for food security.

There have been many advances in soil chemistry since Oxford published the first edition of The Chemistry of Soils in 1989.

The book reflects the results of the study of sedimentation history, paleoclimatology, and paleoceanography of the Arctic and Subarctic during the last 130 ka.

One of the problems of using plants in environmental studies is finding current information.

We hear a lot about how agriculture affects climate change and other environmental issues, but we hear little about how these issues affect agriculture.

Soil degradation has serious global impacts on agronomic, economic, and sociopolitical conditions, however, statistics regarding the degree of these impacts has been largely unreliable.

Climate Change Impacts on Coastal Soil and Water Management discusses the latest approaches for monitoring soil and water degradation in coastal regions under current climate conditions as well as potential further changes in the future.

This novel book bridges the gap between the energetic and species approaches to studying food webs, addressing many important topics in ecology.

Phosphorus is essential to the production of our food, and it also triggers algal blooms in lakes, rivers, and oceans when it slips through our hands.

As atmospheric CO2 increases there will almost certainly be alterations in soil carbon fluxes.

The first symposium on sediment/freshwater interactions was held in Amsterdam, in 1976, and the second was held at Kingston, Ontario, Canada, in 1981.

This book analyzes the formation and evolution of the giant hydrocarbon reservoirs based on major basins onshore China.

This book demonstrates different stages of hydrocarbon deposit localization in a tectonically complex region-the South Caspian Mega-Basin (SCMB).

The living soil is crucial to photosynthesis, biogeochemical cycles, global food production, climate change, biodiversity, and plant and animal health.

The Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), focus of this special publication, is a prolific hydrocarbon region and both exploration and production activity remains high to this day with a positive production outlook.

New technologies have the potential to transform the agri-food industry by improving agricultural productivity.

Deep-water (below wave base) processes, although generally hidden from view, shape the sedimentary record of more than 65% of the Earth s surface, including large parts of ancient mountain belts.

Phytoremediation is the process that uses plants to remove pollutants from soils.

Global climate change has created unprecedented challenges for human civilization due to its widespread adverse consequences, including a reduction in crop yield and threatening food security across the globe.

This volume provides a detailed description of a wide range of numerical, statistical or modeling techniques and novel instrumentation separated into individual chapters written by paleontologists with expertise in the given methodology.

This important volume-the product of a meeting of a select group of scientists-provides the most recent research results from the world's leaders in the study of toxic pollutants in sediments.
