This volume creates a platform to showcase health geography research from countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and draws on theoretical and methodological innovations to initiate a discussion on the complexities of the issues impacting health in the region.
This book is a unique text that explores recent research on the management of sustainable groundwater use in the North China Plain (NCP), where aquifers are suffering the most severe over pumping in the world and have caused serious ecological degradation.
This textbook contains the contents coming from hydraulics, hydrodynamics, chemical principles, chemical reaction engineering and bioengineering, which relates closely with fundamental principles in environmental engineering.
This handbook provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the place, value and significance of wetlands, presenting perspectives from across the environmental and social sciences.
Marine Geography: Ocean Space and Sense of Place offers an innovative and comprehensive exploration of ocean spaces through the lens of geographic thought, establishing marine geography as a unique subdiscipline.

Die verborgene Schönheit der WeltmeereVon den eisigen Ozeanen unserer Pole bis hin zu abgelegenen Koralleninseln – der weltbekannte Naturforscher David Attenborough erkundet zusammen mit Colin Butfield die letzte große Wildnis unserer Erde: die Ozeane.
The unusual frequency of hydro-meteorological events in recent decades, often with catastrophic consequences for society and the environment, require new methods for designing water management projects and the structures meant to protect us from natural hazards.
The Majestic Columbia River Gorge is a collection of stories, myths, and of a Vision Quest by several chiefs of the Watlalla Tribe belonging to the Chinook Nation.
The Brazilian coral reefs form structures significantly different from the well-known reef models, as follows: they have a growth form of mushroom-shaped coral pinnacles called "e;chapeiroes"e;; they are built by a low diversity coral fauna rich in endemic species, with most of them relic forms dating back to the Miocene; and the nearshore bank reefs are surrounded by siliciclastic sediments.

A tribute to Professor Dr Arnold Verruijt, on the occasion of his retirement as professor in soil mechanics at the Technical University of Delft, this book is divided into five chapters covering: groundwater flow, consolidation, numerical methods, geodynamics and geostatics.
The Middle Zambezi, host to a rich biodiversity, is located in the central part of the Zambezi River Basin which covers eight Southern African Countries.
For integrated water resources management both blue and green water resources in a river basin and their spatial and temporal distribution have to be considered.
The aim of this book is to contribute to understanding risk knowledge and to forecasting components of early flood warning, particularly in the environment of tropical high mountains in developing cities.
