Synopsis
This book provides an overview of the use of sedimentary records to study the environmental degradation and recovery of lakes and rivers. Written by an internationally-acknowledged expert in the field, it includes the results of the most recent research and up-to-date data taken from a wide range of technical sources., As part of the Arnold KEY ISSUES IN ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE series, this major new text provides an authoritative overview of the use of sedimentary records to study the environmental degradation and recovery of lakes and rivers. Written by an internationally acknowledged expert on the subject, the book includes the results of the most recent research and up-to-date data, much of which is found in a wide range of technical sources and normally inaccessible to students. A distinctive feature of the book is its temporal focus, allowing for discussion of the lessons to be learned from the past in understanding and solving current and future problems of lake and river pollution. In keeping with the aims of the series to provide clear and up to date topics of current environmental concern, John Smol has written to inform rather than impress, using plain language, full explanations, pertinent examples and case studies. A glossary of technical terms precedes a full reference list, which includes annotations relating to useful further reading where appropriate.
