While there are many journal articles on snow and glacier melt, and flood hydrology, Climate and Hydrology in Mountain Areas is the first truly comprehensive overview of the interaction of hydrological and climatological processes in mountain environments. With case studies taken from major global mountainous regions, the book covers the long-term effects of climatic change on discharge patterns in mountain environment; snowmelt processes and measurement techniques; the changing frequency and magnitude of flooding and their possible prediction; the relations of water exchange and climate in…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
While there are many journal articles on snow and glacier melt, and flood hydrology, Climate and Hydrology in Mountain Areas is the first truly comprehensive overview of the interaction of hydrological and climatological processes in mountain environments. With case studies taken from major global mountainous regions, the book covers the long-term effects of climatic change on discharge patterns in mountain environment; snowmelt processes and measurement techniques; the changing frequency and magnitude of flooding and their possible prediction; the relations of water exchange and climate in high mountain areas; and the use of GIS and other modeling techniques to map catchment characteristics.
