Environmental science, engineering and technology

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.

In the mid-seventies, a new area of research has emerged in subsurface hydrology, namely sto- chastic modeling of flow and transport.

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.

The necessity of eliminating the possibility of a large-scale nuclear conflict from the future of mankind is the most important problem of our times.

The purpose of this book is to investigate the suitability and applicability of available methods for analyzing the human and ecological risks involved in the release of genetically-modified microorganisms.

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.

The identification of inputs and outputs is the first and probably most important step in testing and analyzing complex systems.

For the first time a state-of-the-art of present metal pollution along the coastline of Latin America is provided.

Discusses the global evolution of the earth, such as core-mantle separation, mantle-crust evolution, origin of ocean-atmosphere system, on the basis of isotope earth science andpaleomagnetism, where recent devlopment in planetology andastrophysical theories are extensively taken into account.

During the past few years the worlds has reverberated of names like Seveso, Love Canal, Lekkerkerk, Times Beach, just to name the most publicized ones.

I am pleased to be able to introduce this book by Monsieur lean-Claude Gall, firstly because it is a book, secondly because its author has been a colleague for 15 years, and finally because it is a book which demonstrates the growing importance of Palaeobiology.

This volume contains the proceedings of the International Sym- posium on North Sea Dynamics which was held in Hamburg, August 31 - September 4, 1981.

When, in 1966, the Gennan Research Society directed the attention of oceanographers in the Federal Republic of Ger- many to problems of marine pollution, I was not enthusiastic.

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.

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.

The impact of man on the biosphere is profound.

As society becomes stressed by economic and population pressures, in turn, nature's renewable resources become stressed by harvesting pressures.

The Hamburg Congress on Climate and Development was conceived as a response to the worldwide interest on issues of climatic change and variability.
