Klappentext zu „Contaminated Rivers “
This book provides an introductory understanding of fluvial geomorphic principles and how these principles can be integrated with geochemical data to cost-effectively characterize, assess and remediate contaminated rivers. The book stresses the importance of needing to understand both geomorphic and geochemical processes. Thus, the overall presentation is first an analysis of physical and chemical processes and, second, a discussion of how an understanding of these processes can be applied to specific aspects of site assessment and remediation. Such analyses provide the basis for a realistic prediction of the kinds of environmental responses that might be expected, for example, during future changes in climate or land-use.

Rezension zu „Contaminated Rivers “
"River contamination is a problem of global significance. This book provides a comprehensive and highly readable review of the role of fluvial geomorphic processes in understanding and predicting the dispersal and fate of contaminants in aquatic environments. Aimed at both students and professionals it forms an excellent introductory text to this rapidly developing field, especially in river basins experiencing rapid environmental change."Mark G. Macklin, Professor of Physical Geography and Director of the Centre for Catchment and Coastal Research, University of Aberystwyth, UK. "This excellent book clearly and graphically explains the geochemical and geomorphological principles influencing the contamination of river systems, and cost-effective methods for contaminated river assessment and remediation. I shall certainly be recommending it to all of my students and colleagues."Karen Hudson-Edwards, Lecturer in Environmental Geology, Birkbeck, University of London, UKAus den Rezensionen:"... Miller/Orbock Miller unternehmen in ihrem ausgezeichnet strukturierten ... Lehrbuch ... neben umfangreichen Betrachtungen zur Rolle fluvialer geomorphologischer Prozesse auch den gelungenen Versuch, die unterschiedlichen Auswirkungen dieser Prozesse zu charakterisieren. Schritt um Schritt führen die Autoren durch das wissenschaftlich komplexe Thema. ... Contaminated Rivers ist ein durchgehend analytisch und hervorragend explizierend angelegtes Lehrbuch ... Es besticht nicht nur mit einer Vielzahl an Abbildungen und Listungen, sondern auch durch KIassifizierungen und mathematische wie auch physikalische Formeln ... Insgesamt liefern Miller/Miller Orbock eine lehrreiche, wissenschaftlich jederzeit haltbare Bestandsaufnahme ..."(http://www.geowis.de/product_info.php?products_id=398)
