Hydrology and the hydrosphere

Increasing demand for water, higher standards of living, depletion of resources of acceptable quality, and excessive water pollution due to urban, agricultural, and industrial expansions have caused intense environmental, social, economic, and political predicaments.

This book, first published in 1986, stems from the 1986 Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium.

Emerging Contaminants: Anticipating Developments examines the factors that have led "e;new"e; environmental contaminants to emerge in the past and combines the lessons learned to anticipate potential new developments.

This unique treatment of geomorphology, first published in 1986, provides a comprehensive work to enable students to see the subject as a whole.

This book, first published in 1986, is an excellent introduction to the main topics of economic and applied geology for undergraduate students of geology, geophysics, mining geology and civil engineering.

The tropics provide the key to understanding much biological and Earth science.

This book, first published in 1965, was the first by a British soil expert in which he wrote a study of his subject from a geographical, not an agricultural or biological, viewpoint.

The competition for groundwater sources as a water supply reinforces the need for a strong economic rationale in decision-making.

Groundwater is becoming increasingly scarce while the demand for water continues to grow at a global scale.

This book provides a step-by-step guide on how to use various publicly available remotely sensed time series data sources for environmental monitoring and assessment.

Intensifying Activated Sludge Using Media-Supported Biofilms will be of interest to practicing wastewater treatment process designers, along with those seeking more compact and energy-efficient wastewater treatment options.

Pesticde use in agriculture and non-agriculture settings has increased dramatically over the last several decades.

The completion of the initial phase of the U.

Advances in high spatial resolution mapping capabilities and the new rules established by the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States for the operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) have provided new opportunities to acquire aerial data at a lower cost and more safely versus other methods.

This reference for engineers, and graduate students covers sediment transport and morphodynamics modelling in nearshore environments.

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems.

This book explores the applicability of multiple remote sensors to acquire information relevant to restoration and conservation efforts in wetlands using data collected from airborne and space multispectral/hyperspectral sensors, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), and a hand-held spectroradiometer.

Constructed Wetlands: Hydraulic Design provides fundamental information on internal wetland hydraulic and biochemical processes, as well as practical guidance on the effective design of wetlands for water treatment.

Climate change, a familiar term today, is far more than just global warming due to atmospheric greenhouse gases including CO2.

This volume provides in-depth coverage of the latest in remote sensing of hydrological extremes:  both floods and droughts.

This book, designed as a handbook, provides a systematic treatment of analytical solutions describing groundwater flow during aquifer tests.

Hormones and Pharmaceuticals Generated by Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations: Transport in Water and Soil examines how hormones, antibiotics and pharmaceuticals generated from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) of cattle, poultry, swine and aquaculture are transported in water and soil.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, our nation began to grapple with the legacy of past disposal practices for toxic chemicals.

The oceans represent a vast, complex and poorly understood ecosystem.

Humans have always been fascinated by marine life, from extremely small diatoms to the largest mammal that inhabits our planet, the blue whale.

At a time when the polar regions are undergoing rapid and unprecedented change, understanding exchanges of momentum, heat and salt at the ice-ocean interface is critical for realistically predicting the future state of sea ice.
