It explores how these elements vary in time and space and how this information is used to interpret deposits of ancient rivers and floodplains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book makes specific reference to the types and lifestyles of organisms associated with fluvial environments, human interactions with rivers and floodplains, related environmental and engineering concerns, as well as the economic aspects of fluvial deposits. This includes the modelling of fluvial hydrocarbon reservoirs and aquifers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMethods of studying rivers, floodplains, and their deposits are also discussed. Although basic principles are emphasised, many examples are detailed. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding the nature of modern rivers and floodplains as essential for addressing any problems concerning them, whether past or present, in a rational manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRivers and Floodplains\u003c\/em\u003e is designed as a core text for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying modern or ancient fluvial environments, particularly in earth sciences, environmental sciences, and physical geography, but also in civil and agricultural engineering. College teachers, researchers, and practising professionals will also find the book an invaluable reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854813122796,"sku":"9780632064892","price":240.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780632064892.jpg?v=1759255893","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/rivers-and-floodplains-by-john-s-bridge-9780632064892","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
