Books in the Advances in Hydrological Processes series

This volume provides a discussion of the benefits and research challenges posed by the introduction of sophisticated numerical analysis techniques into the environmental sciences. It presents a series of research articles illustrating the scope for high resolution hydraulic modelling.

This volume contains 27 papers selected from the journal "Hydrological Processes", reporting on recent progress on scale issues in hydrological modelling. The contributors develop strategies for linking model parameterizations across a range of temporal and spatial scales.

A theme within this text on glaciology has been the linkage between glacier hydrology and ice mass dynamics. This mediates the way in which glaciers and ice sheets respond to environmental change, and determines ways in which ice masses shape the landscape.

This book deals with the technical problems encountered in hydrological applications of GIS, at scales ranging from the catchment to short river reaches and on a wide range of hydrological processes in both pure and applied contexts.

The rainfall-runoff model, TOPMODEL, is one of the simpler hydrological models that makes use of the type of digital terrain data now available. This volume summarizes experiences in applying the model in a variety of environments.

Water is, perhaps, the single most important substance on earth. It forms the basis for life as we know it. Organisms, including human beings, can only survive if there is an adequate supply of water available. In addition, the water must be of the proper quality to support life.

This text poses the question, "What would be the impact to and response of freshwater ecosystems in your region as a result of a hypothetical doubling of C02 in the atmosphere?" A panel of experts consider various model predictions and scenarios.
