Presented here are authoritative and up-to-date assessments of the homogenous and heterogenous chemical and physical processes occuring in the troposphere and stratosphere, especially during the "e;ozone hole"e; event.
Das vorliegende Buch Krisenmanagement bei Störfällen gibt eine umfassende Charakterisierung des Problemkreises industrieller Störfälle und deren Kontrolle durch Managementkonzepte.
Scientists concerned with the processes occurring in the stratosphere are becoming more and more aware of the role that the stratosphere may play in the global climate and in global change in general.
In this publication you will find a comprehensive data set of the North Sea ecosystem, including the distribution and the fate of contaminants, their transport paths and their analysis by means of numerical models.
neuer Text:Immer raffiniertere Kameras, neue Filme und schnellere Entwicklungsmethoden öffnen dem Fotografen ein stetig breiter werdendes Feld gestalterischer Möglichkeiten.
Experts in soil and environmental sciences as well as in the theory of wave propagation and numerical modeling methods provide a comprehensive account of different aspects of pollutant migration in soils, aquifers, and other geological formations.
The purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the most important aspects of suspended matter in the aquatic environment: its origin and composition, the concentration distribution, transport and deposition, and the most important physical-chemical-bio- logical process that affects suspended matter: flocculation.
Soil and water pollution have a serious impact on the environment, and soil scientists and hydrologists need fundamental help for the estimation of the consequences.
Defining ecology as a system-theory oriented synthesis ofboth earth and life sciences, the book aims at a novel co-herent understanding of chemicalimpact on the lower at-mosphere and characteristic types of terrestrial ecosystems.
Although many theoretical developments have been achieved inrecent years, the progress both in understanding andapplication of risk and reliability analysis in waterresources and environmental engineering remains slow.
It has been known for some time that the behavior of the short-term fluctuations of the earth's atmosphere resembles that of a chaotic non-linear dynamical system, and that the day-to-day weather cannot be predicted beyond a few weeks.
Water is the most effective agent in the climate system to modulate energy transfer by radiative processes, through its exchanges of latent heat and within cascades of chemical processes.
Presented here is an account of industrial and general air pollution problems in view of air quality management, community and industrial health aspects, emission inventorying, emission and air quality measurement techniques, dispersion phenomena and control technologies.
The biennial International Gothenburg Symposia on Chemical Water and Waste- water Treatment have proven to be a unique platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences between administrators, engineers and scientists active in the fields of water supply, wastewater disposal and pollution control.
Microbial growth and contamination ("e;Biofouling"e;) in water systems represents a significant threat to the quality of waters produced for the microelectronic, pharmaceutical, petroleum, paper, food and other manufacturing industries.
Die Datenmengen, die bei der Modellierung, der Simulation und der Überwachung von Umweltprozessen anfallen, sind heute schon so groß, daß sie nur noch mit Supercomputersystemen in verantwortbaren Zeiten sinnvoll bearbeitet werden können.
Supercomputing is an important science and technology that enables the scientist or the engineer to simulate numerically very complex physical phenomena related to large-scale scientific, industrial and military applications.
Professor Hermann Remmert, führender Ökologie-Experte und Autor zahlreicher wissenschaftlicher Publikationen, gibt hier eine gut lesbare und auch für den Laien verständliche Einführung in die viel-diskutierte Thematik: Naturschutz.
Environments at Risk is designed as an introductory text and uses case histories of environmental impact assessment to raise issues important in controlling environmental problems.
There is a growing need for cooperation between disciplines, not only to deal with the burning problems of the present, but to study the interaction of societies and their ecosystems in the past.
