This book is a comprehensive review of the genera of Verbenaceae, a flowering plant family, found in tropical East Africa. It presents information on their character, occurrence, habitat, phenotypic variations and distribution of each of the species under these genera.
This book, based on the proceedings of third symposium held on 17th August 1977 during the Xth INQUA Congress at Birmingham, UK, focuses on the influence the Antarctic glaciation had on world palaeoenvironments.
Through case studies and conference papers, this key text addresses a range of topics; from legislation to biodiversity, and from the moral and ethical issues surrounding land restoration, to the challenges of cleaning up contaminated sites.
Exploring how to make the mineral industry safe, efficient and ecologically sustainable, this thorough text investigates the links between geologic setting, mining and process technologies, economics, environment and stakeholder communities.
This text aims to be a driving force for an economically sound and sustainable development of developing countries. It looks at the provision of geothermal energy within the framework of sustainable energy development for power generation, rural e...
This volume presents 24 peer-reviewed papers on discontinuous analysis in geological materials. It also explores issues such as fracture mechanics modelling in the new manifold method and developments in three dimensional DDA.
This proceedings volume showcases all aspects of the science and engineering of mine ventilation and health and safety, with special focus on the applied aspects of mine ventilation practice. Papers span the spectrum of mine ventilation and air co...
Containing peer reviewed papers presented at the International Symposium on Groundwater Problems related to geo-Environment, Japan, May 2003, this work includes the latest developments in research and practice, and is arranged according to theme.
This work presents improved equations for monthly water resources models, in particular for interception and transpiration.
A tribute to Professor Dr Arnold Verruijt, on the occasion of his retirement as professor in soil mechanics at the Technical University of Delft, this book is divided into five chapters covering: groundwater flow, consolidation, numerical methods, geodynamics and geostatics.
There has been an explosive growth of methods in recent years for learning (or estimating dependency) from data. This work addresses model induction from data for the simulation of hydrodynamic processes in the aquatic environment.
This text presents simple working methods for systematic analysis and parametric assessment of soft clays at engineering level. The development at different... Læs mere
