Sediment/Water Interactions: Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium / Edition 1

by B.T. Hart, P.G. Sly

Overview

The papers appearing in this volume reflect the current attention in sediment/water science to five main topics of investigation: Sediment dynamics in estuaries, coastal waters, lakes, reservoirs and rivers; Sediment-associated biological processes; Contaminant accumulation, distribution and geochemistry; Fluxes from sediments; and Element cycling.
Contributors address sediment/water interactions related to both fresh and salt water conditions.
