Overview
- In-depth discussion of the mechanics involved in the transport, deposition, and remobilization of contaminated sediments by physical processes
- Comprehensive examination of the use of geomorphic principles to identify and map spatial variations in metal concentrations in contaminated river valleys
- Analysis of the linkages between chemical and physical processes associated with heavy metal cycling in streams and rivers
- Detailed description of the methods employed to remediate or restore metal contaminated rivers
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
"Until the publication of this particular book, environmental geochemists had little insight into river particulate transfers, and few river geomorphologists were taking the contamination of river deposits - which generally does not affect the morphological features - into consideration. Contaminated Rivers aims to fill this gap at a time when remediation of contaminated sites and the understanding of particulate contminants transfers are high on the environmental agenda."
