Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This is the first interdisciplinary book on the mobilization of nutrients and pollutants in the water phase due to hydrodynamic processes. Coverage includes the formation of aggregates in turbulent water; flocks and biofilms from organic reactions; and the formation of new surfaces for re-adsorption of dissolved pollutants. The book gathers papers resulting from an International Symposium on Sediment Dynamics and Pollutant Mobility in River Basins in Hamburg, Germany, March, 2006.

Recensione

From the reviews:

"This collection of 24 new papers extending work from the interdisciplinary joint program SEDYMO ... . The scientific state-of-the-art overview on sediment stability assessment is shaped by world policy and management issues. ... Chapters cover management of river sedimentation, sediment modeling and transport, catchments and sediment-water modeling, biogeochemistry and fine particle effects, and toxicity evaluation. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (M. C. Brown, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008)
