  • Mercury and the Everglades. A Synthesis and Model for Complex Ecosystem Restoration

    Volume II – Aquatic Mercury Cycling and Bioaccumulation in the Everglades

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book integrates 30 years of mercury research in the Florida Everglades to inform scientists and policy makers. The Everglades is an iconic ecosystem by virtue of its expanse; diversity of biota; and multiple international designations. Despite this, the Everglades has been subjected to multiple threats including: habitat loss, hydrologic alterations, invasive species and altered water quality ... Read more

  • Mercury and the Everglades. A Synthesis and Model for Complex Ecosystem Restoration

    Volume III – Temporal Trends of Mercury in the Everglades, Synthesis and Management Implications

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book is the final installation in a three-volume series synthesizing 30 years of mercury research in the Florida Everglades. The first part of this book evaluates the occurrence of trends in both biota mercury concentrations and atmospheric mercury deposition. Through both empirical and deterministic analyses, the likely drivers of biota trends are identified. These analyses help lay the ... Read more

  • Climate Change

    Observed impacts on Planet Earth

    Edited by Trevor Letcher ...
    The climate of the Earth is always changing. As the debate over the implications of changes in the Earth's climate has grown, the term climate change has come to refer primarily to changes we've seen over recent years and those which are predicted to be coming, mainly as a result of human behavior. This book serves as a broad, accessible guide to the science behind this often political and heated ... Read more

    Why is Animal Size so Important?

    This book is about the importance of animal size. We tend to think of animal function in chemical terms and talk of water, salts, proteins, enzymes, oxygen, energy, and so on. We should not forget, however, that physical laws are equally important, for they determine rates of diffusion and heat transfer, transfer of force and momentum, the strength of structures, the dynamics of locomotion, and ...

  • Paleoclimates

    Understanding Climate Change Past and Present

    by Thomas Cronin ...
    The field of paleoclimatology relies on physical, chemical, and biological proxies of past climate changes that have been preserved in natural archives such as glacial ice, tree rings, sediments, corals, and speleothems. Paleoclimate archives obtained through field investigations, ocean sediment coring expeditions, ice sheet coring programs, and other projects allow scientists to reconstruct ... Read more

  • Hillslope Hydrology and Stability

    Landslides are caused by a failure of the mechanical balance within hillslopes. This balance is governed by two coupled physical processes: hydrological or subsurface flow and stress. The stabilizing strength of hillslope materials depends on effective stress, which is diminished by rainfall. This book presents a cutting-edge quantitative approach to understanding hydro-mechanical processes across ... Read more
