商品簡介
Taniguchi (Research Institute for Humanity and Nature, Kyoto, Japan), and Holman's (Cranfield U., UK) collection of 16 case studies integrates current knowledge of the relationships between climate change/variability and sea level rise and groundwater storage, recharge, discharge, and groundwater quality. The majority of the papers were presented at the Fall 2008 International Assn. of Hydrogeologists' Congress, in Toyama, Japan. The text provides academic and consulting hydrogeologists and environmental scientists an up-to-date description of groundwater behavior and ancient, historical, current, and future climates in diverse aquifer systems around the world. A sampling of topics: changing climate and saltwater intrusion in the Egypt's Nile Delta, climate variability impacts on the water resources in Morocco's Draa basin, global warming and urbanization influences on surface/subsurface temperature and cherry blooming in Japan, and verification of 4He and 36Cl dating of very old groundwater in Australia's Great Artesian Basin.
