This English translation of "Istoricheskaya Geotektonika" covers such topics as: middle and late archaean; formation of mature continental crust; origin of mobile belts against the background of development of plate tectonics; and general features.

Translated from Russian, this work explains modern methods of determination of rheological properties of soils. The bearing of these properties on numerical and analytical methods in the field of foundation engineering is discussed.

Glacial deposits have a profound influence on groundwater protection, waste management and nature conservation. This text provides an analysis of glacial deposits in North-East Europe, covering countries such as Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

This annual covers excavation reports and analytical studies on archaeology, palaeobotany and archaeozoology. Topics include: island migration of early modern Homo sapiens in Southeast Asia; and Roman Iron Age plant husbandry at Peelo, Holland.

Considers hyperconcentrated flow, a phenomenon peculiar to the Yellow River Basin.

This text outlines the problems commonly encountered during infrastructure constructions on soft and subsiding ground in lowland environments, and their solutions in terms of soil/ground improvement techniques.

A report on the technique of sand closures, the knowledge of which has been considerably broadened due to measurement and research, particularly during the two most recent sand closures of the Eastern Scheldt compartmenting dams (1986-1987).

An interdisciplinary study of the Tokyo Bay problem. This problem is not just a regional one, but one of national and even international importance.

This monograph provides the practising engineer with a concise overview of the methods of water diversion and exclusion or removal of sediment from the diverted water. The emphasis is on flow features and the associated conveyance of sediments.

Describes both physical and biological processes of pollution in aquatic environments. This text introduces theories and means of predicting the scale of environmental pollution and counter-measures.

Focusing on fundamental concepts, definitions various aspects of siting, this book contains a checklist to help readers conduct a proper siting process to assess the seismic hazards of a given site.

A collection of papers presented at the 3rd RILEM International Symposium. Divided into seven sections, it covers production, pore structure, heat and mass transfer, crack formation, reinforced components, masonry, and ecology and new developments.

The planning of hydropower developments is still a great challenge covering a wide range of technical, economic and environmental issues. The present volume addresses these issues and highlights the ways in which hydropower can be developed.

A selection of papers on the effect of geomechanics on mine design. Coverage includes geodynamic phenomena associated with mining, longwall face technology, permanent mine workings and tunnels, ground subsidence, yield pillars and more.

A collection of papers on the prediction of unsteady flow and fluid transients in a wide variety of systems. Coverage ranges from theory to practical application of techniques, and the work describes failures as well as successes.

Comprises papers on topics in ocean circulation, wave structure interaction, water quality and biological model harbour resonance.

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Highway Capacity, Karlsruhe, Germany, July 1991. Papers range widely from driving behaviour and pedestrian to the numerical value of freeway capacity and transit capacity.

This is a collection of conference papers on small hydro renewable energy, covering such topics as: resource assessment and planning; design and construction; and plant and equipment.

"Echinoderm Studies" is a biennial series in which comprehensive surveys of selected topics are presented. A guiding principle of the series is to cover all aspects of echinoderm biology so as to promote a better comprehension of this group of animals.

This volume is a compilation of papers that deal with palaeoecological aspects of Argentina and Uruguay, and that derive from the special session on the Quaternary of South America at the XIIth INQUA International Congress held in Ottawa in 1987.

This book focuses on the problems of the Quaternary in South America and Antarctic Peninsula, with a strong emphasis in the paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic approach. It is based on contributions presented at the South American Regional Meeting held in Neuquen, Argentina.

This volume includes the papers presented at the North American Tunnelling 2002 Conference. The papers deal with three major aspects of underground construction: managing construction projects; public policy and underground facilities; and advances in underground infrastructure.
