Geomorphology and Sedimentology of Lakes and Reservoirs

by J. McManus (Editor), R. W. Duck (Editor)

International contributors, active in their respective fields, draw attention to a wide spectrum of issues ranging from geochemical analysis using Chernobyl fallout identification and tracing to accretion studies of Pleistocene rhythmites. Numerous chapters deal with sites in Britain while others address problems from the Middle East. Several methods of geophysical exploration of lakes and reservoirs are used in unraveling sedimentary successions and distribution patterns.
