Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Multi-channel estuaries such as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and the Scheldt in the Netherlands have characteristics of both the river and the sea forming a unique environment influenced by tidal movements of the sea and freshwater flow of the river. This study addresses a number of knowledge gaps in multi-channel estuaries by developing a predictive analytical approach for salinity intrusion and discharge estimate in multi-channel estuaries. The new approach agrees well with 1-D hydrodynamic models and observations indicating its applicability in practice. Most importantly the study has successfully developed a new theory and a new equation to quantify tidal pumping due to ebb-flood channel residual circulation and the related salt dispersion. | Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Mineral Resources and Basic Industries in the People's Republic of China

First published in 1977. Mining and metallurgy have had a long history in China and resources there have always been considered promising. More recently in the People's Republic of China (PRC) a remarkable industrial renaissance is underway that should gain further momentum in the years ahead. Rapid development of minerals has brought the PRC prominence not only in the area of industrialization but also in world affairs. Chinese mineral developments especially in petroleum have been increasingly in the news. A very large coal industry is already in existence. The steel industry ranks fifth or sixth in the world. The PRC is also prominent in fertilizer cement and salt production and its export metals are well known. The need to know about Chinese mineral developments and the intense interest in them have prompted Dr. Wang's study. Emphasizing the world significance of Chinese minerals he reviews the history of growth in the PRC' s mineral industry and its present supply position; evaluates policy considerations and regional technical factors affecting mineral development; and assesses the PRC's mineral trade and its efforts to obtain equipment supplies and new technology. | Mineral Resources and Basic Industries in the People's Republic of China

Fine Resolution Remote Sensing of Species in Terrestrial and Coastal Ecosystems

Detailed and accurate information on the spatial distribution of individual species over large spatial extents and over multiple time periods is critical for rapid response and eﬀective management of environmental change. The twenty first century has witnessed a rapid development in both ﬁne resolution sensors and statistical theories and techniques. These innovations hold great potential for improved accuracy of species mapping using remote sensing. Fine Resolution Remote Sensing of Species in Terrestrial and Coastal Ecosystems is a collection of eight cutting-edge studies of ﬁne spatial resolution remote sensing including species mapping of biogenic and coral reefs seagrasses salt and freshwater marshes and grasslands. The studies illustrate the power of fine resolution imagery for species identiﬁcation as well as the value of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery as an ideal source of high-quality reference data at the species level. The studies also highlight the benefit of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data for species identiﬁcation and how this varies depending on the species of interest as well as the nature of the context in which the species is found. The broad range of applications explored in the book demonstrates the major contribution of remote sensing to species-level terrestrial and coastal ecosystem studies as well as the potential for future advances. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Remote Sensing.

The Sea and Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literary Culture

During the nineteenth century British and American naval supremacy spanned the globe. The importance of transoceanic shipping and trade to the European-based empire and her rapidly expanding former colony ensured that the ocean became increasingly important to popular literary culture in both nations. This collection of ten essays by expert scholars in transatlantic British and American literatures interrogates the diverse meanings the ocean assumed for writers readers and thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic during this period of global exploration and colonial consolidation. The book’s introduction offers three critical lenses through which to read nineteenth-century Anglophone maritime literature: wet globalization which returns the ocean to our discourses of the global; salt aesthetics which considers how the sea influences artistic culture and aesthetic theory; and blue ecocriticism which poses an oceanic challenge to the narrowly terrestrial nature of green ecological criticism. The essays employ all three of these lenses to demonstrate the importance of the ocean for the changing shapes of nineteenth-century Anglophone culture and literature. Examining texts from Moby-Dick to the coral flower-books of Victorian Australia and from Wordsworth’s sea-poetry to the Arctic journals of Charles Francis Hall this book shows how important and how varied in meaning the ocean was to nineteenth-century Anglophone readers. Scholars of nineteenth-century globalization the history of aesthetics and the ecological importance of the ocean will find important scholarship in this volume. | The Sea and Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literary Culture

Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set

This new 3-volume set provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that mediate biosynthesis accumulation and degradation of plant metabolites so as to employ novel strategies to improve crop production and enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Abiotic stresses such as drought high salt cold heat UV radiation heavy metal pollution etc. are increasingly responsible for restricting plant growth and agricultural production and are becoming more alarming due to threats from global climate change. To combat these threats it is imperative to study the underlying mechanisms of stress tolerance from diverse metabolites and the biosynthesis pathways for metabolite production to maintain osmotic balance under diverse environmental stresses. Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants provides that understanding. Volume 1: Secondary Metabolites in Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses exclusively on the diverse secondary metabolites that play a major role in the adaptation of plants to the environment and in overcoming stress conditions as well as their implications in enhancing tolerance mechanisms. The chapters in this section review and integrate the currently available information on the protective role rendered by a wide array of antioxidative secondary metabolites and their regulation during diverse environmental stress. Volume 2: Trace Elements in Environmental Stress Tolerance throws light on the different inorganic trace elements including metal nanoparticles that help to deal with various environmental stresses. While these elements at high level create considerable phytotoxicity and halt metabolic and enzymatic activity they also promote growth and development in limited quantity so that they have significant potential in revamping plant morphology and physiology under stressed conditions. Hence optimum concentration management of these elements can help to mitigate world hunger and contribute toward sustainable agriculture and food security under challenging environments. Volume 3: Sustainable Approaches for Enhancing Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses on the agronomic and biochemical approaches as well as biotechnological and high-throughput technologies including the prospects of genetic engineering epigenetics and the latest CRISPR/Cas technology in generating stress-tolerant plants. The volume provides a clear road map for the implementation of techniques for improving abiotic stress tolerance in plants for better sustenance. Key features: Provides an advanced understanding of the mechanisms of action of secondary metabolites and trace elements in environmental stress tolerance as well as the different agronomic and biotechnological methods that enhances stress tolerance Looks at the overall metabolic pathways and genetic engineering giving a holistic view of plant-level studies of diverse abiotic stresses affecting different metabolic pathways Provides the groundwork to help researchers in designing future programs for identifying novel genes and proteins and targeting proper pathways to develop climate-resilient plants Altogether the three-volume Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants will enhance our understanding of plant responses to environmental stresses and enable implementation of programs and practices that can help us to develop climate-resilient plants with better performance for better yield and quality. | Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set
