Wildlife researchers and ecologists make widespread use of multivariate statistics in their studies. With its focus on the practical application of the techniques of multivariate statistics, this book shapes the powerful tools of statistics for the specific needs of ecologists and makes statistics more applicable to their course of study. Multivariate statistics for wildlife and ecology research gives the reader a solid conceptual understanding of the role of multivariate statistics in ecological applications and the relationships among various techniques, while avoiding detailed mathematics and underlying theory. More important, the reader will gain insight into the type of research questions best handled by each technique and the important considerations in applying each one. Whether used as a textbook for specialized courses or as a supplement to general statistics texts, the book emphasizes those techniques that students of ecology and natural resources most need to understand and employ in their research. Detailed examples use real wildlife data sets analyzed using the SAS statistical software program.

Database issues in geographic information systems approaches several important topics in GIS from a database perspective. Database management has a central role to play in most computer-based information systems, and is expected to have an equally important role to play in managing information in GIS as well. Existing database technology, however, focuses on the alphanumeric data that are required in business applications. GIS, like many other application areas, requires the ability to handle spatial as well as alphanumeric data. This requires new innovations ii data management, which is the central theme of this monograph. The monograph begins with an overview of different application areas and their data and functional requirements. Next, it addresses the following topics in the context of GIS: representation and manipulation of spatial data, data modeling, indexing, and query processing. Future research directions are outlined in each of the above topics. The last chapter discusses issues that an emerging as important areas of technological innovations in GIS.

This book gives an overview of statistical turbulence modeling with applications to oceanography and limnology. It discusses how these models can be derived from the Navier-Stokes equations, step by step simplifications result in models applicable to numerical simulations for realistic solutions. Results from one dimensional simulation are shown for various oceanic and limnic water column studies. The integration of these turbulence models in three dimensional models is discussed and some selected results are shown. The two equation turbulence models prove to be a good compromise between accuracy and economy are published as a Fortran source code on the internet in the framework of the general ocean turbulence model (GOTM). This website also provides forcing and validation data for several idealized scenarios. The book and the home page enable graduate students and researchers to understand the theory and provide tools for the models.

Life in its diversity is the greatest resource on our planet and represents the very foundation of human existence. Only in the last two décades hâve we become aware of the dimension of biodiversity: some 1.75 millions différent organisms are known to science - but assessments strongly indicate that there are aboutfen times as manyspecies existing between thé polar circles and tropical rain forints». New and exciting species are being discovered every day - at the same time we can observe a dramatic loss of biodiversity within the global change: extinction rates are probably unequaledin the natural history of ourworld. The géographie distribution of biodiversity is very unequal with the highest dtions in the tropical forests and certain subtropical regions.The developing countries possess the true wealth of the global genetic resources - but the capacities for bip- diversity research are concentrated in thé highly industrialized countries.The Rio con-vention on Biological Diversity, megadiversity countries and megadeveloped countries are the scénario for biodiversity.

Marine debris is a global pollution problem affecting marine life, maritime commerce and environmental quality. Scientists, policymakers and the public must be knowledgeable about the source, impact and control efforts if effective solutions are to be developed. Marine Debris addresses the origin of persistent solid waste in the ocean, from urban and rural discharges to waste from ships and the recreational use of oceans. The book identifies key issues from biological, technological, economic and legal perspectives, and gives a framework for controlling each of the main sources of marine debris. The authors have done a very valuable job in bringing together such a large collection of information. Anyone with an interest in the topic will want to have access to the book. This volume was conceived as the definitive treatment of the global marine debris. The authors aim to lay the foundation for much wider recognition of this pollution, and to address its management at all social, economic, and political levels. The papers in this volume were based on invited contributions to the Third International Conference on Marine Debris (May 1994, Miami). The selected, edited contributions to this book include reports of the complex research results, reviews of data and information, legal analyses, and editorial perspectives. Each paper provides definitive information on, or relates key experiences relevant to, an important aspect of the marine debris problem or its solution.
Dynamic modeling of environmental systems
Modeling dynamic systems
Dynamic modeling of environmental systems is a primer on using models to under-stand environmental problems. With their many natural, economic, political, and technical aspects, environmental problems require a systems approach. This book provides an introduction to modeling concepts and applications that is geared specifically toward the environmental field. Sections on modeling terminology, the uses of models, the model-building process, and the interpretation of output provide the foundation for detailed applications. After an introduction to the basics of dynamic modeling, the book leads students through an analysis of several environmental problems, including surface-water pollution, matter-cycling disruptions, and global warming. The scientific and technical context is provided for each problem, and the methods for analyzing and designing appropriate modeling approaches are provided. An accompanying CD-ROM for both Macintosh® and Windows® computers contains a run-time version of STELLA® modeling software with models from the text. While the mathematical content does not exceed the level of a first semester calculus course, the book gives students ail of the background, examples, and practice exercises needed both to use and understand environmental modeling. It is suitable for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate-level environmental science courses. The text is also useful for environmental professionals seeking an introduction to modeling in their field.

To achieve viable solutions to present day environmental problems, we must understand the spatial and temporal links between the different environmental compartments of biota, air, water, land and aquatic sediments. This book explains many of the seminal theories used to identify links and predict the movement of natural and anthropogenic chemical compounds. New insights into theories regarding accumulation of contaminants such as radio nuclides, DDT and PCBs are presented challenging the passive acceptance of previously proven dogma. The book is primarily directed to university education, environmental scientists and policymakers. A number of exercises are incorporated in the text while two demo models are given on diskette, one of radionuclide transport from dumped nuclear waste in the Kara Sea and one illustrating the role on biodiversity in coastal zone management.

This book is concerned with long run interactions between the economy and the environment. Evolution which involves the emergence of novelty is distinguished from evolution with no novelty. Three types of time irreversibility are developed to show how time has been treated in the natural sciences and in economies. Concepts of evolution, novelty, time structure and ignorance are synthesized to derive general conclusions for environmental policy. Neo-Austrian capital theory is employed to model economy environ mental interactions. The role and the importance of interdisciplinary work is stressed.

This book highlights the application of Geographical Information System (GIS) and nature based algorithms to solve the problems of water and water based renewable energy resources. The irregularity in availability of resources and inefficiency in utilization of the available resources has reduced the potentiality of water and water based renewable energy resources. In recent years various soft computation methods (SCM) along with GIS were adopted to solve critical problems. The book collects various studies where many SCMs were used along with GIS to provide a solution for optimal utilization of natural resources for satisfying the basic needs of the population as well as fulfilling their burgeoning energy demands. The articles depict innovative application of soft computation techniques to identify the root cause and to mitigate the uncertainty for optimal utilization of the available water resources. The advantage of SCM and GIS were used to maximize the utilization of water resources under cost and time constraints in face of climatic abnormalities and effect of rapid urbanization.
