This book is Part H of volume 5 (Water Pollution) of the series The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry
Aspects of the biogeochemistry of estuaries from a variety of environments, from the tropics to the Arctic,
are discussed. In most cases the courses of these rivers have been altered by dams or diversions; the results
of these changes on the nature of the estuary are also discussed, where such data is available. In the case
of the Tasmanian rivers, the estuary of the Huon, a largely untouched river, is contrasted with that of the
Derwent, a river heavily influenced by industry. The future state
of all of these estuaries may be a sensitive
indicator of shifts in global weather patterns.
Written for: Scientists, engineers, graduate students in the field of environmental sciences, risk assessment
and risk controlling, toxicology and ecology; decision-makers in government, industrial and regulatory
bodies
