Sediment transport is a book that covers a wide variety of subject
matters. It combines the personal and professional experience of
the authors on solid particles transport and related problems,
whose expertise is focused in aqueous systems and in laboratory
flumes. This includes a series of chapters on hydrodynamics and
their relationship with sediment transport and morphological
development. The different contributions deal with issues such as
the sediment transport modeling; sediment dynamics in stream
confluence or river diversion, in meandering channels, at
interconnected tidal channels system; changes in sediment transport
under fine materials, cohesive materials and ice cover;
environmental remediation of contaminated fine sediments. This is
an invaluable interdisciplinary textbook and an important
contribution to the sediment transport field. I strongly recommend
this textbook to those in charge of conducting research on
engineering issues or wishing to deal with equally important
scientific problems.
Contents:
Advanced topics in sediment transport modelling: non-alluvial beds
and hyperconcentrated flows.
Modelling coastal sediment transport for harbour planning: selected
case studies.
Numerical modelling of the sediment re-suspension induced by boat
traffic.
Hybrid model approaches to predict multiscale and multiphysics
coastal hydrodynamic and sediment transport processes.
Cohesive sediment flocculation and the application to settling flux
modelling.
Determination of longshore sediment transport and modelling of
shoreline change.
Three- dimensional numerical simulation of cohesive sediment
transport in natural lakes.
Sediment transport dynamics in river networks induced by water
diversion.
Sediment transport in Kulim River, Kedah, Malaysia.
Changes in sediment transport of the yellow river in the Loess
plateau.
Modeling of developed meanders of an alluvial channel.
Evolution of ripple field architecture during sediment transport,
as measured by ct scanning.
Sediment transport under ice conditions.
Sediment transport circulation patte through mesotidal channels
system.
Continuous monitoring of suspended sediment load in semi-arid
environments.
Modification of Mackinawite with L-cysteine: synthesis,
characterization, and implications to mercury immobilization in
sediment.

This third volume in the IAS Reprint Series reviews some of the major contributions that have been made over the last twenty years to our understanding of deep water environments. Few groups of rocks have received as much attention in recent years as deep sea sands and yet retained so many unsolved problems - How far and how fast can sediment debris flows travel? Do the many ancient series that have...

Tectonic subsidence and uplift are prerequisites for basin formation and terrigenous sediment supply, but sedimentary processes in a basin are governed by other factors, including water circulation and recy...

Society for Sedimentary Geology, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74235, U.S.A. , 2005, p. 208 Sedimentology and stratigraphy are neighbors yet distinctly separate entities within the earth sciences. Put in a nutshell, sedimentology searches for the common traits of sedimentary rocks regardless of age as it reconstructs environments and processes of deposition and erosion from the sediment record. Stratigraphy, by contrast, concentrates on changes with time, on...

Applied Sedimentology describes the formation, transportation and deposition of sediment, and the post-depositional processes that change soft sediment into sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks include sandstones, limest...
