  • Studies of Cave Sediments

    Physical and Chemical Records of Paleoclimate

    Edited by Ira D. Sasowsky, John Mylroie ...
    John E. Mylroie and Ira D. Sasowsky' Caves occupy incongruous positions in both our culture and our science. The oldest records of modem human culture are the vivid cave paintings from southern France and northern Spain, which are in some cases more than 30,000 years old (Chauvet, et ai, 1996). Yet, to call someone a "caveman" is to declare them primitive and ignorant. Caves, being cryptic and ... Read more

  • Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Subsidence: Causes, Consequences, and Strategies

    Edited by B.U. Haq, J.D. Milliman ...
    Series Book 2 - Coastal Systems and Continental Margins
    Greenhouse-induced climate warming increasingly appears to be a reality, and the warming climate will be accompanied by an accelerated sea level rise - as much as 60-100 cm over the next century. What is commonly absent in the discussion of rising sea level, however, is the role played by the subsidence of low-lying coastal areas, which can have a far greater local effect than the eustatic rise of ...

    Translated by Barbara Reimer ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    River Morphology deals with the interaction between flowing waters in rivers and their environment. Based on the representation of basic flow parameters, the geometry, classification and historic development of rivers are treated. Any change in the environment, occurring naturally or caused by man, leads to very sensitive reactions in river flow and transport. Thus this synopsis of geoscientific ... Read more
