Suspended Matter in the Aquatic Environment
Description
This introduction to suspended matter treats its most important aspects in the aquatic environment, e.g. origin and composition, concentration distribution, transport and deposition, flocculation, and the fate and behaviour of suspended matter in rivers, lakes, estuaries, intertidal areas, fjords and the sea. It is the first comprehensive study on this subject addressed to scientists and practitioners working in sedimentology or environmental sciences, ranging from chemistry to engineering.
