Rates of chemical weathering of rocks and minerals Rates of chemical weathering of rocks and minerals
Researchers in geomorphology, geochemistry, quaternary geology, soil science, and mineralogy will welcome this volume, the first to focus exclusively on rates of silicate chemical weathering. Consisting largely of previously unpublished data from six countries, the volume examines the latest experimental, modelling, and field results. New information is presented on topics of current...

Geologic evolution of the United States Atlantic Margin Geologic evolution of the United States Atlantic Margin
This volume compiles the significant findings which began to be accumulated in 1974 during offshore petroleum explorations in the Atlantic Continental Shelf. It's the first presentation of current geological data from the U.S. Atlantic Margin from the inner edge of the coastal plain to the deep sea. A seismic grid of several thousand seismic reflection profiles is correlated with 48 deep...

Evolution and application of instream flow methodologies to small hydropower developments: an overview of the issues Evolution and application of instream flow methodologies to small hydropower developments: an overview of the issues
ethods for evaluating instream flow needs have evolved over the last 30 years resulting in two categories which are defined as “standard-setting” and “incremental”. Standard-setting methodologies refer to those measurement and interpretative techniques designed to generate a flow value(s) which is intended to maintain the fishery at some acceptable level. Incremental methodologies on the...

Information needs for natural fire management planning Information needs for natural fire management planning
The development and implementation of an effective natural fire management program require a clear definition of goals and objectives, an ever-expanding information base, and effective program evaluation. Examples are given from Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
