neuer Text:Immer raffiniertere Kameras, neue Filme und schnellere Entwicklungsmethoden öffnen dem Fotografen ein stetig breiter werdendes Feld gestalterischer Möglichkeiten.
In der Antike mythisch verklärt, später als Rohstoffquelle verbraucht, sind Wale und Delphine mittlerweile zu Publikumslieblingen und Symboltieren des Naturschutzes geworden.
Im interdisziplinären Dialog diskutieren Vertreter aus Theologie, Philosophie, Geographie, Pädagogik, Psychologie und Verhaltenswissenschaft beispielhaft ethische Fragestellungen zum Umgang des Menschen mit Natur und Umwelt.
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.
It is universally recognized that the end of the current and the beginning of the next century will be characterized by a radical change in the existing trends in the economic development of all countries and a transition to new principles of economic management on the basis of a resource and energy conservation policy.
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.
This book is a natural extension of the SCOPE (Scientific Committee of Problems on the Environment) volumes on the carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) biogeochemical cycles and their interactions (Likens, 1981; Bolin and Cook, 1983).
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.
Die vorliegende Studie zeigt auf, wie umweltökonomisches Instrumentarium zur Analyse abfallwirtschaftlicher Fragestellungen angewandt werden kann und welche Empfehlungen sich hieraus für die umweltpolitische Rahmensetzung ableiten lassen.
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.
The author, experienced in industry and academia, presents a set of 15 recent review essays which identify and examine critical current issues of environmental management.
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.
Starting with the description of meteorological variables in forest canopies and its parameter variations, a numerical three-dimentional model is developed.
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.
Energy Conservation Indicators is a methodology to break down energy consumption data into their component parts in the same way as those which are due to annual weather fluctuations, business cycle, structural changes in the economy and higher energy efficiency.
