Having been the fourth biggest lake at the globe approximately 50 years in the past, this day the Aral Sea now not exists. Human actions triggered its desiccation and the formation of a major new desolate tract, the Aralkum, that are considered as one of many maximum ecological catastrophes and - whilst - the most important fundamental succession scan of mankind.
This quantity brings jointly the result of foreign and interdisciplinary long term experiences at the new wilderness atmosphere and is split into 4 major sections. the 1st part presents an summary of the actual features of the world and covers geological, pedological, geomorphological and climatological elements and their dynamics, specially dust-storm dynamics. the second one makes a speciality of the biotic elements and highlights the spatial and temporal styles of the wildlife. within the 3rd part reports and initiatives aiming to strive against desertification by means of phytomelioration and to boost thoughts for the conservation of biodiversity are offered. The ebook is rounded off with a bit delivering a synthesis and conclusions.

During the last decade and especially lately, the macroscopic porous media concept has made decisive development in regards to the basics of the speculation and the advance of mathematical types in a number of fields of engineering and biomechanics. This growth has attracted a few awareness, and for this reason meetings dedicated nearly solely to the macrosopic porous media thought were prepared so as to gather all findings, to provide new effects, and to debate new traits.
Dimension, research and modeling of utmost precipitation occasions associated with floods is key in figuring out altering weather affects and variability. This ebook offers tools for evaluate of the traits in those occasions and their affects. It additionally presents a foundation to strengthen techniques and directions for climate-adaptive hydrologic engineering.
