The International Society for Ecological Modelling (ISEM) sponsors conferences, workshops and training courses with the aim of advancing the development of ecological and environmental modelling. The 3rd International Conference on the state-of-the-art in ecological modelling was sponsored by the ISEM in cooperation with the National Park Service Water Resources Laboratory and hosted by the Nat…
Although it is astronomical forcing (the gravitational effects of the moon and sun on the oceans) that makes the tides so predictable, it is the hydrodynamics (i.e., physics of the water movement) that determines the size and timing of the tides. When we speak of the tidal hydrodynamics of estuaries, we are speaking of shallow-water tides, which have much larger tidal ranges and faster tidal cu…

For more than forty years this text has been educating students about the history of city planning and its contemporary practice. The sixth edition brings students up-to-date with new coverage of computer modeling, the new exurbia and megalopolis, seismic issues, hazardous waste, development vs. no growth, environmental concerns, and participatory planning.
Mathematics Applied in Engineering presents a wide array of applied mathematical techniques for an equally wide range of engineering applications, covering areas such as acoustics, system engineering, optimization, mechanical engineering, and reliability engineering. Mathematics acts as a foundation for new advances, as engineering evolves and develops. This book will be of great interest to po…
A comprehensive introduction to municipal water supply and waste-water disposal technology designed for environmental engineering and civil engineering courses. Provided in the book is a basic review of the chemistry, biology, hydraulics and hydrology necessary to understand water and waste-water technologies.
This book is designed to meet the demand for a convenient text reference for general data, basic theory, and methods of application. The emphasis throughout has been on the presentation of methods for practical application of hydrology and on data which present the means and ranges of variation of the key elements in hydrology. Basic data are limited to the continental United States except in s…
