ISBN: 1402049110 ISBN-13: 9781402049118 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $313.49 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: September 2006 Annotation: This book focuses on how hydrogeophysical methods can be applied to solve problems facing environmental engineers, geophysicists, agronomists, hydrologists, soil scientists and hydrogeologists. We present applications of hydrogeophysical methods to the understanding of hydrological processes and environmental problems dealing with the flow of water and the transport of solutes and contaminants. The majority of the book is organized as a series of process-driven chapters, each authored by leading experts. Areas covered include: infiltration and solute transport processes, biogeochemical functioning of soil-water systems, coastal groundwater interactions, cold region hydrology, engineered barriers and landfill processes. In addition, the book offers insight into the development of new data fusion methodologies, of value to many hydrogeophysical investigations, and provides an account how the rapidly developing self-potential technique can give valuable information about water fluxes and hydrochemical states within the subsurface. Applied Hydrogeophysics provides students and new researchers to the field a comprehensive set of process-based studies that demonstrate the value (and limitations) of using geophysical methods for improved hydrological characterisation and management of the subsurface environment. Researchers already active in the field will find the case studies a very useful source of reference. |
