Environmental geology is geology applied to living. The environment is the sum of all the features and conditions surrounding an organism that may influence it. An individual's physical environment encompasses rocks and soil, air and water, such factors as light and temperature,…

Dendrochemistry has proven success in reconstructing climate histories, mapping environmental change and pollution events, and dating volcanic eruptions. However, there are questions about element mobility within tree rings (translocation) and how this mobility can vary as a fun…
The modern Cascades are a north-south striking mountain range that intercepts Pacific Ocean-derived moisture resulting in orographic precipitation on the western flank and a relatively arid rain shadow in the lee. Because of the strong coupling between topography and climate and…
Blood Falls forms when iron-rich, hypersaline, subglacially-sourced brine flows from a crack in the surface of Taylor Glacier, Antarctica. If air temperatures are low enough, the brine freezes to form a fan-shaped icing deposit. In chapter two, historical observations (including…
Organic matter stored in wetlands constitutes a globally significant terrestrial carbon pool interacting with atmospheric carbon via unique ecological processes that release CH4 but take in CO2. Efforts are ongoing to quantify the role of wetlands in terrestrial-atmosphere carbo…
Hurricanes have affected the waters of the east coast of the United States throughout the region’s history. These storms cause changes in water quality through mechanisms such as damage to infrastructure, excessive precipitation, and storm surges. We attempt to conduct a regiona…
Marine sediments host a vast amount of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in the subsurface. Transport of this subsurface methane towards the seafloor creates unique biogeochemical interactions that result in important consequences for the chemical and biological composition of t…
"Die ländliche Bodenordnung stellt ein wichtiges Instrument zur Bereitstellung und Sicherung der Fläche dar, die für die naturnahe Entwicklung anthropogen veränderter Fließgewässer hin zu eigendynamisch resistenten und resilienten Systemen benötigt wird. In diesem essential gebe…
This book focuses on the Permian time slice in the geological history of Gondwana, which includes Australia, India, South Africa, Antarctica and South America. Coal is an organic rock, the product of compressed and 'cooked' plants. The exact formation of coal via physicochemical…

La 4e de couverture indique : "The book on sea ice ecology is the ecology of sea ice algae and other microorganism as bacteria, meiofauna, and viruses residing inside or at the bottom of the sea ice, called the sympagic biota. Organisms as seals, fish, birds, and Polar bears rel…
Inland sand dunes are widespread in North America and are found from the North Slope of Alaska to the Sonoran Desert in northern Mexico and from the Delmarva Peninsula in the east to Southern California in the west. In this edited book, we highlight recent research on areas of i…
