Response of Upper Gulf Coast Estuaries to Holocene Climate Change and Sea-level Rise
Author: John B. Anderson
Publisher: Geological Society of America
ISBN: 0813724430
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
One of the main impacts of global warming is accelerated sea-level rise: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predictions suggest that the rate of rise could reach as high as 5'10 mm/yr by the end of this century. While it is generally recognized that accelerated sea-level rise will severely impact low-gradient coastlines, scientists are still ill prepared to predict coastal response. A study of seven Gulf Coast estuaries (Mobile Bay and Mississippi Sound, Weeks Bay, Calcasieu Lake, Sabine Lake, Galveston Bay, Matagorda Bay, and Corpus Christi Bay) was aimed at examining their response to past changes in the rate of sea-level rise and climate. The rates of change are of the same magnitude as those predicted for this century. The estuarine response to change has been one of abrupt landward retreat and major reorganization of estuarine environments at decadal time scales. This book should be of interest to scientists and policy makers concerned with future impacts of global warming.

Book Description
"This report summarizes water quality assessment information submitted by the States to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1990 under Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act. The States based their water quality assessments on data collected in 1988 and 1989 using physical, chemical, and "evaluative" approaches such as sending questionnaires to fisheries biologists and analyzing land use data."--Page xiii

Water Quality for Ecosystem and Human Health
Author: Geneviève M. Carr
Publisher: UNEP/Earthprint
ISBN: 9789295039513
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This document is intended to provide an overview of the major components of surface and ground water quality and how these relate to ecosystem and human health. Local, regional and global assessments of water quality monitoring data are used to illustrate key features of aquatic environments, and to demonstrate how human activities on the landscape can influence water quality in both positive and negative ways. Clear and concise background knowledge on water quality can serve to support other water assessments.
