    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The U.S. Ocean Commission Report identified the need for regional ecosystem assessments to support coastal and ocean management. These assessments must provide greater understanding of physical and biological dynamics than assessments at global and national scales can provide but transcend state and local interests. This need and timeliness is apparent for Long Island Sound, where a multi-state ... Read more

  • Sustaining River Ecosystems and Water Resources

    by Ellen Wohl ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This work is designed to broaden the scope with which many people regard a river. Rivers are commonly regarded from a very simplistic perspective as conduits for downstream flows of water. In this context, it may be considered acceptable and necessary to engineer the channel to either facilitate such flows (e.g., channelization, levees) or limit flows and store water (e.g., water supply reservoirs ...

    A Dynamic Social-Ecological System

    Edited by Luis Vinueza, Judith Denkinger ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
