Floods in an Arid Continent : Volume 39 Hardback
Part of the Advances in Ecological Research series
Hardback
Description
Nowhere are floods more paradoxical than in the generally arid Australian continent.
Floods in an Arid Continent brings together experts in meteorology, hydrology, limnology, ornithology, landscape ecology, veterinary and medical sciences, economics, anthropology and sociology to synthesize current knowledge on floods, their occurrence, and their consequences for the environment and societies in the Australian context. Floods can have either beneficial or detrimental effects on the landscape and human societies.
This book fills this important gap in our study and offers a multidisciplinary approach in understanding the effects of global climate change.
The editors provide complete coverage on dynamics, patterns and consequences of floods, studied from several perspectives.
Although the geographic focus of the book is Australia, the synthesis that is detailed in this book will undoubtedly be useful for the understanding of floods in all other regions of the planet.
