HYDROLOGIC SCIENCES

Additional reading An excellent introduction is provided by Thomas Dunne and Luna B. Leopold, Water in Environmental Planning (1978); while basic concepts in engineering hydrology are covered by Ray K. Linsley, Jr., Max A. Kohler, and Joseph L.H. Paulhus, Hydrology for Engineers, 3rd ed. (1982). In more specialized areas, S. Lawrence Dingman, Fluvial Hydrology (1984), treats basic hydraulic principles; R. Allen Freeze and John A. Cherry, Groundwater (1979), deals with subsurface flow processes and water quality; and M.J. Kirkby (ed.), Hillslope Hydrology (1978), is concerned with experimental and modeling studies of catchment processes. Modeling is dealt with further in M.G. Anderson and T.P. Burt, Hydrological Forecasting (1985). (Limnology): Broad introductions are provided by Abraham Lerman (ed.), LakesChemistry, Geology, Physics (1978); and Robert G. Wetzel, Limnology, 2nd ed. (1983). Some engineering aspects of man-made lakes are covered in B. Henderson-Sellers, Engineering Limnology (1984). (Oceanography): Excellent introductions are Peter K. Weyl, Oceanography: An Introduction to the Marine Environment (1970); Keith Stowe, Ocean Science, 2nd ed. (1983); George L. Pickard and William J. Emery, Descriptive Physical Oceanography: An Introduction, 4th ed. (1982); and David Tolmazin, Elements of Dynamic Oceanography (1985). The geology of the ocean basins is the subject of Francis P. Shepard, Geological Oceanography: Evolution of Coasts, Continental Margins and the Deep-Sea Floor (1977); and the chemistry of the oceans is covered in J.P. Riley and R. Chester, Introduction to Marine Chemistry (1971). (Glaciology): The classic text is Louis Lliboutry, Trait de glaciologie, 2 vol. (1964). The physical aspects of ice are covered in W.S.B. Paterson, The Physics of Glaciers, 2nd ed. (1981). Other useful texts are Samuel C. Colbeck (ed.), Dynamics of Snow and Ice Masses (1980); and D.E. Sugden and B.S. John, Glaciers and Landscape (1976, reprinted 1979). Keith J. Beven
