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.

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.
The understanding of pollutant transformations, sorption and transport in soils and uptake by plants is the key to controlling contaminant movement towards groundwater and accumulation in food-chains.
This preface is being written at a time of exceptional public interest in the North Sea, following media head- lines on toxic algal blooms, the mass mortality of common seals, and concern over pollution levels.
In March, 1983 a workshop on Pollutants in Porous Media was hosted by the Institute of Soils and Water of the Agricultural Research Organi- zation in Bet Dagan, Israel.
In Physical Processes in Estuaries the present day knowledge of the physics of transport phenomena in estuaries and their mathematical treatment is summarized: It is divided into following parts: - Water movements in estuaries - Estuarine fronts and river plumes - Internal waves and interface stability - Fine sediment transport, aggregation of particles, settling velocity of mud flocs - Sedimentation and erosion of fine sediments.
This book contains the contributions to an European symposium on "e;Trace Elements in Environmental History"e;, held from June 24th to 26th at GCittingen, FRG.
Dredged Material and Mine Tailings are two of the same thing once they are deposited on land: they must be safe-guarded, wash-out must be prevented, and they must be protected by a plantcover.
Exposure to polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and -furanes at very low concentrations is of particular interest with respect to possible human health risks.
On May 25,1978, the Commission on Toxicology ofthe Division of Clinical Chemistry of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) established its Subcommittee on Environmental and Occupational Toxicology of Cadmium following aseries of Commission meetings in Kristiansand, Norway.
The enormous public interest of specialists as well as of engaged and concerned citizens in the energy problem can be understood in view of the fact that the future of national and world-wide economy depends on the availability of sufficient primary energy.
Dredged Material and Mine Tailings are two of the same thing once they are deposited on land: they must be safe-guarded, wash-out must be prevented, and they must be protected by a plantcover.
Fluorchlorkohlenwasserstoffe (FCKW) und Chlorkohlenwasserstoffe (CKW) zerstören maßgeblich die lebenserhaltende Ozonschicht und tragen in erheblichem Umfang zum Treibhauseffekt bei.
Perspectives on Biogeochemistry is an account of the origin of forces and matter at the dawn of time, and the way they evolved to planet Earth of today.
Chemistry of Plant Protection, Volume 7, provides critical review articles on new aspects of herbicide resis- tance, serving the needs of research scientists, pesticide manufacturers, government regulators, agricultural practitioners.
Ten years ago the author, together with eight co-authors, edited a textbook Remote Sensing for Environmental Sciences within the series on Ecological Studies of Springer-Verlag.
