River Discharge to the Coastal Ocean : A Global Synthesis Paperback / softback
by John D. (College of William and Mary, Virginia) Milliman, Katherine L. Farnsworth
Paperback / softback
Description
Rivers provide the primary link between land and sea.
Utilizing the world's largest database, this book presents a detailed analysis and synthesis of the processes affecting fluvial discharge of water, sediment and dissolved solids.
It also discusses the ways in which climatic variation, episodic events and anthropogenic activities - past, present and future - affect the quantity and quality of river discharge.
The book contains more than 165 figures - many in full color - including global and regional maps.
An extensive appendix presents the 1534-river database as a series of 44 tables that provide quantitative data regarding the discharge of water, sediment and dissolved solids.
The complete database is also presented within a GIS-based package available online at www.cambridge.org/milliman.
Now available in paperback, reprinted with corrections, this is an invaluable resource for researchers, professionals and graduate students in hydrology, oceanography, geology, geomorphology and environmental policy.
