Download or read book Dynamics of Estuarine Muds written by Richard Whitehouse and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 2000-11-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to predict the movement of cohesive sediment within coastal, estuarine or inland waters has a significant economic and ecological importance in the development of new engineering works and the maintenance of existing installations. Dynamics of estuarine muds clearly describes the most up-to-date developments in this field and contains information about improved procedures and how they can be applied to a variety of engineering projects. Drawing on a wide range of new data and new concepts in mud research, this concise volume presents the main processes of cohesive sediment behaviour, namely, erosion, transport, deposition and consolidation. It includes subsections on Knowledge, intended to show the practising engineer which parameters are important in each of the processes and Procedure, which will enable broad estimates of erosion, transport, deposition and consolidation to be made based on knowledge of the site conditions. Dynamics of estuarine muds is essential reading for the practising engineer who is involved in coastal, estuarine or inland water construction. A companion volume to Dynamics of marine sands, this excellent book provides invaluable information about this complex topic in a readily accessible manner.

Download or read book Muddy Coasts of the World written by Terry R. Healy and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SCOR (Scientific Committee on Ocean Research of ICSU) Working Group 106 was tasked with reviewing the geomorphic, sedimentary and oceanographic dynamics of muddy costs, assessing the impact of sea level rise on muddy coasts, especially in estuaries, and to recommend future research pathways relating to muddy coasts. This book addresses these questions and includes chapters on the research issues of muddy coasts, the definition of muddy coasts, sea level rise effects on muddy coasts, fundamental dynamic processes effecting muddy coast formation, the role of mangrove and salt marsh vegetation, bio-geochemistry of muddy coast deposits, storm surge effects on muddy coasts, human impacts on muddy coasts, and a detailed geographical review of muddy coasts of the world. The volume presents examples of muddy coasts sedimentation from many different environments of the world including the broad expanse muddy coast of China, muddy coasts of continental trailing edges (the Americas), muddy coasts in seasonally ice covered environments, muddy coasts in areas of tropical coral reefs, muddy coasts from the tropics, muddy coasts resulting from large river discharges, and muddy coasts of mid-latitude oceanic islands.
Download or read book Ichnology written by Luis A. Buatois and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-11 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ichnology is the study of traces created in the substrate by living organisms. This is the first book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and sedimentology, bridging the gap between the two main facets of the field. It emphasizes the importance of understanding ecologic controls on benthic fauna distribution and the role of burrowing organisms in changing their environments. A detailed analysis of the ichnology of a range of depositional environments is presented using examples from the Precambrian to the recent, and the use of trace fossils in facies analysis and sequence stratigraphy is discussed. The potential for biogenic structures to provide valuable information and solve problems in a wide range of fields is also highlighted. An invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students in paleontology, sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy, this book will also be of interest to industry professionals working in petroleum geoscience.
Download or read book Mudflat Ecology written by Peter G. Beninger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intertidal mudflats are distinct, highly-productive marine habitats which provide important ecosystem services to the land-sea interface. In contrast to other marine habitats, and despite a large body of primary scientific literature, no comprehensive synthesis exists, such that the scattered knowledge base lacks an integrated conceptual framework. We attempt to provide this synthesis by pulling together and contextualizing the different disciplines, tools, and approaches used in the study of intertidal mudflats. The editor pays particular attention to relationships between the various components of the synthesis, both at the conceptual and the operational levels, validating these relationships through close interaction with the various authors.

Download or read book Ground water Reconnaissance of Winnemucca Lake Valley Pershing and Washoe Counties Nevada and Ground water Potentialities in the Crescent Valley Eureka and Lander Counties Nevada written by Christie Paul Zones and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quinn River Valley is a northerly trending intermontane trough about 90 miles long and from 12 to 40 miles wide. Most of it is in the northeastern part of Humboldt County, Nevada, but the northern end extends into Malheur County, Oregon. The climate is arid to semiarid. Precipitation ranges from somewhat less than 9 inches on the valley floor to more than 20 inches in the vicinity of the highest peaks. The valley is bounded on the east by the Santa Rosa Range, and on the south by unnamed hills extending westward from Winnemucca Mountain. The southern part of the western boundary is formed by the Slumbering Hills, and the northern part by the Quinn River Mountains and the White Horse Mountains. Low hills joining the Santa Rosa Range and White Horse Mountains form the northern boundary. Two major streams, McDermitt Creek and the East Branch of the Quinn River, enter the valley near its north end. These streams combine with Washburn Creek and the drainage ways from Oregon to form the Quinn River, which then flows southerly to its exit from the valley, the gap between the Slumbering Hills and the Quinn River Mountains. The mountain ranges are composed of rocks in which groundwater generally does not circulate freely. These rocks are indurated and metamorphosed sediments, igneous intrusives, and lava flows. The valley fill is composed largely of unconsolidated or poorly consolidated sediments, some of which are important aquifers. These sediments consist of clay, silt, sand, and gravel. The aquifers within the valley fill are recharged mainly by the infiltration of water from streams and from the percolation of irrigation water below the root zone. It is estimated that the annual recharge to the ground-water reservoir averages about 24,000 acre-feet. Under natural conditions ground water is discharged mainly by evaporation from the land surface and by the transpiration of phreatophytes. The phreatophytes include greasewood, salt-grass, rye grass, rabbitbrush, willows, buckbrush, and alfalfa. It is estimated that the natural discharge of ground water is about 25,000 acre-feet annually. About 5,000 acre-feet of groundwater was discharged from 18 irrigation wells in 1955. This water was in addition to the water discharged by evapotranspiration. The amount of ground water that can be developed on a perennial basis depends largely on the amount of the natural discharge that can be diverted to wells that presently is being evaporated or transpired by phreatophytes having little or no economic value. In the McDermitt area, near the northern end of the valley, this potential development amounts to about 2,000 acre-feet per year. In the Home Ranch area, in the west-central part of the valley, about 8,000 acre-feet of ground water could be salvaged annually by lowering and maintaining the water table and the capillary fringe above it below the root zone. Native vegetation having a low economic value uses about 7,000 acre-feet of water annually in the Orovada area in the east-central part of the valley. In order to salvage all this water the water table throughout that area would have to be lowered to a level below the valley floor. In the Davey Town area, the potential development is negligible. Except for being somewhat hard, all the water that was analyzed appeared to be satisfactory for stock and domestic use. Most of the water was satisfactory for irrigation also. Several samples, however, had a high salinity which would require special practices for salinity control and the selection of salt tolerant crops.
