Nowhere are floods more paradoxical than in the generally arid
Australian continent. This book brings together experts in
meteorology, hydrology, limnology, ornithology, landscape ecology,
veterinary and medical sciences, economics, anthropology and
sociology to synthesize current knowledge on floods, their
occurrence, and their consequences for the environment and
societies in the Australian context.
Floods can have either beneficial or detrimental effects on the
landscape and human societies. This book fills this important gap
in our study and offers a multidisciplinary approach in
understanding the effects of global climate change. The editors
provide complete coverage on dynamics, patterns and consequences of
floods, studied from several perspectives. Although the geographic
focus of the book is Australia, the synthesis that is detailed in
this book will undoubtedly be useful for the understanding of
floods in all other regions of the planet.
* Offers detailed trends of effects on global climatic change
* Provides an understanding of past and future floods in
Australia
* Discusses disturbances on landscape
* Includes effects on aquatic birds, infectious diseases, and
economy
