Hydrologic Sciences: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead (Environmental Science) - Softcover
Hydrologic science, an important, interdisciplinary science dealing with the occurrence, distribution, and properties of water on Earth, is key to understanding and resolving many contemporary, large-scale environmental issues. The Water Science and Technology Board used the opportunity of its 1997 Abel Wolman Distinguished Lecture to assess the vitality of the hydrologic sciences by the hydrologic community. The format included focus by lecturer Thomas Dunne on the intellectual vitality of the hydrologic sciences, followed by a symposium featuring several invited papers and discussions.
Hydrologic Sciences is a compilation of the Wolman Lecture and the papers, preceded by a summarizing overview. The volume stresses a number of needs for furtherance of hydrologic science, including development of a coherent body of transferable theory and an intellectual center for the science, communication across multiple geo- and environmental science disciplines, appropriate measurements and observations, and provision of central guidance for the field.

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. 138 Pages.Used book in As New condition. Taken together, the Wolman Lecturer and the symposium speaker and discus ants provide a consistent diagnosis of the vitality of the hydrologic sciences; the science is indeed a vital, intellectually challenging geoscience. However, it remain a young science, in need of greater coherence and struggling to cope with its multidisciplinary, multidomain nature. Diligence and vigilance in nurturing our science are essential. The vision of the Committee on Opportunities in the Hydrologic Sciences has stood the test of the past seven years, and Opportunities in the Hydrologic Sciences continues to function as a touchstone for the future of hydrologic science. .
