Climate And Hydrology In Mountain Areas Provides A Comprehensive Overview Of The Interaction Of Hydrological And Climatological Processes In Mountain Environments. This Book Provides An Understanding Of Present Experimental And Theoretical Work On Hydrology And Climatology In Mountain Areas, Bridging The Gap Between Current Research In The Two Disciplines With A Common Focus On Mountains. It Emphasises The Need For Interdisciplinary Work In This Field And The Importance Of A Modern Research Framework For Such Studies. This Is Essential Reading For Postgraduates And Researchers Working In Hydrology Or Climatology/meteorology Related Mountain Topics. Also Suitable For Professional Organisations, Such As Geographical Organisations And Societies, Ministries Of Science, Water Authorities, Planning Agencies And Development Agencies. Would Be Of Interest To Higher-level Undergraduates For Courses On Topics Such As Water Management In Mountain Catchments Or Mountain Hydrology, Meteorology Or Climate Change.--jacket.
