Sediment Transport Research - Further Recent Advances
The effective governance and administration of many aquatic and terrestrial environments requires a detailed understanding of sediment transport and its behavioral dynamics. This has both environmental and economic implications, especially where there is any anthropogenic involvement. Sedimentary processes such as erosion, scour, deposition, and consolidation can fluctuate depending on whether their compositional matrix is purely cohesive, noncohesive, or a combination of both types. With many contributing factors, the prediction of sedimentary movement is often made using numerical modeling tools, as they can estimate the various spatial and temporal fluxes. However, due to the complex beha...
Conflict Transformation, Peacebuilding, and Storytelling
This book serves as an important link between conflict resolution practice and education by providing research from the unique perspective and approach of the Arthur V. Mauro Centre for Peace and Justice, one of the world’s leading academic programs for PACS research: storytelling, peacebuilding, and conflict transformation. Each chapter presents original research in critical issues in the field of PACS, and provides recent research for the future development of the field and the education of its practitioners and academics. The book has a wide audience targeting students at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels. It also extends to those working in and leading community con...
Biology of the Baltic Sea
The present text compiles the latest research within the field of biology performed in the Baltic Sea area. The themes span from theoretical and philosophical aspects of the ecosystem concept over population and autecological studies to detailed descriptions of plant and animal physiology. Results from microcosm and mesocosm experiments as well as direct observations in field together bring insight of the special structure and function of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. How the spawning success of cod and spat are dependent of each other and environmental factors, the impact of alien species to the composition of plankton or benthic communities, the flip of phytobenthic to planktonic communities in lagoons and mechanisms triggering the change, pure descriptions of e.g. the Estonian coast and shallow off shore areas as well as strategies for the reproductive success of Fucus vesiculosus, and the influence of eutrophication of the different Baltic Sea areas and the fate of pollutants as radionucleids and PAH etc. and other themes are all discussed in the 24 original papers of this volume.
State and Evolution of the Baltic Sea, 1952-2005
"This book presents an extended summary of the reports from the Baltic Sea Research Institute. These compose an interdisciplinary and comprehensive description of the development of the Baltic Sea during the last 50 years, based on long-term observational data. Chapters reflect the most important features from meteorology and climate to physics and chemistry to plankton and fish, written by well-known experts of their fields. Although the focus is on the work and the data of the Baltic Sea Research Institute, other international authors have agreed to participate, contributing essential features from outside the institute's actual scope."--Pub. desc.
