Maria Sala introduced experimental and field-based studies on soil
and fluvial processes in Spain during the late 1970s and early
1980s. Research on this broad topic has grown remarkably worldwide
since then. This title shows some of these advances and documents
the latest research, although with a particularity: it gives
special treatment to research on Mediterranean climate regions, an
ever-present issue in Maria Sala's research career. It contains the
latest research on slope and river processes with a special
emphasis on rivers and catchments with a Mediterranean climate.
Papers cover a gamut of topics describing research and applied
studies, mainly in Spain, but also in Israel, the USA, Canada, the
UK and New Zealand.
The book examines natural and anthropogenic processes operating in
drainage basins and includes coverage of current experimental and
fieldwork investigations on soil erosion, river and catchment
hydrology, suspended sediment transport and bedload dynamics in
gravel-bed rivers, and present-day diagnosis and future key-paths
for catchment and river management.
* Examines the natural and anthropogenic processes operating in
drainage basins and river channels, and covers current
investigations on Process Geomorphology and Catchment Hydrology,
including management issues
* Topics covered include soil erosion, catchment hydrology,
suspended sediment transport, bedload dynamics in gravel-bed
rivers, and sediment yield
* Emphasis is on the Mediterranean region
