Papers from the fifth Symposium on Sediment/Water Interactions held in Uppsala, Sweden, Aug. 6-9, 1990."Reprinted from Hydrobiologia, vols. 235/236 (1992)."
Sediment dynamics in estuaries and coastal waters --; Sediment transport and deposition in lakes and reservoirs --; Sediment and water movement in rivers and their catchments --; Microbial processes --; Interactions between sediments and benthic organisms --; Sediment bioassays --; Biological processes --; Sediment-water interactions --; Element cycling --; Contaminant accumulation, distributions and geochemistry --; Management.
The papers appearing in this volume reflect the current attention in sediment/water science to five main topics of investigation: Sediment dynamics in estuaries, coastal waters, lakes, reservoirs and rivers; Sediment-associated biological processes; Contaminant accumulation, distribution and geochemistry; Fluxes from sediments; and Element cycling. Contributors address sediment/water interactions related to both fresh and salt water conditions.
