A collection of peer-reviewed articles presented at the ISPRS Workshop on Spatial Analysis and Decision Making. It also covers topics such as image-based spatial analysis and decision making, as well as 3-D modelling and analysis.

The diversity of their body organization and development unmatched by other arthropod groups makes crustaceans well-suited objects for studies dealing with questions at the interface of evolution and development. This book treats various aspects of crustacean 'evo-devo' in a comprehensive way.

Discussing the knowledge required in the design and development of project processes able to produce competitive, 'green' and consumer-friendly structures / constructed facilities, this wide-ranging text reflects current thinking in the area.

This volume provides an overview of the results of an extended test campaign performed on soil displacement screw piles at Limelett in Belgium in the period 2000-2002, where test piles have been installed to a very dense sand layer.

This volume is an outcome of the 12th international conference of the international bryozoology association in Dublin. It consists of 85 oral and 16 poster presentations which cover all aspects of bryozoological research.

The construction enterprise is being transformed by visual modelling. Tools such as 3D/4D CAD and virtual reality are now in widespread use in construction. This book is a survey of the changes being made in practice and a detailed guide.

This interdisciplinary volume comprises papers from several fields related to compaction. Topics include: soil compaction for pavements and roads; deep soil compaction by vibration, impact and underground explosion; compaction control; and more.

Detailing the latest developments in the disciplines of geotechnical engineering, clay science and geochemistry concerned with the fundamental properties of clay liner and buffer materials.

This text is taken from the proceedings of the 20th International Congress of Entomology in Florence in August 1996. One of the themes is ecology and population dynamics, with papers presented on single species dynamics, population interactions, and community ecology.

This text deals with the subject of remote sensing, and the use of technology to aid environmental maintenance. Topics covered include a microcomputer based grassland local administration support system.

This text gives students of explorational geophysics a view into the interpretation of Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) curves.

The interest in finite element method as a solution technique of the computer age is reflected in the availability of many general and special purpose software based on this technique. This work aims to provide a complete and detailed explanation.

Covering the subject of ground control in mining, this volume looks at such topics as: rock-slab theory of ground pressure in work and practice, the role of in situ-stress in mine planning, and the status of the art of cable bolting.

The aim of the text is to highlight recent advances in fouling control technology and, at the same time, provide basic information on the biology of fouling organisms found in the Indian Ocean.

Papers based on training course lectures at different annual meetings of the International Geological Correlation Program (IGCP), held during the five-year period 1993-1997, examine desert margins and their temporal changes in the last 135,000 years.

This is a translation of "Histoire de la geologie, tome 2". It covers theories and the theory of the Earth, collective ideas on the Earth between 1650 and 1830, and the discovery of extinct volcanoes in Europe.

Presenting research on reactive flows, this work covers theoretical aspects, experimental techniques and the development of models implemented in computational fluid dynamics software.

This text provides a process-oriented discussion of the theory, methodology and philosophy of geologic and mine modelling using two commercial software packages: Techbase, a leader for mineral exploration and modelling bedded deposits; and Lynx.

The main objective of this text is to provide a general approach towards structural masonry through an integration of experimental and computational techniques.

Volumes 37 and 38 of this annual published since 1951 include excavational reports and analytical studies on archaeology, palaeobotany and archaezoology.

A summary of various internal reports on the research by CUR Research Committee C 75 "Lightweight concrete".

This volume contains papers contributed by experts on developments in geotextiles, geomembranes and other geosynthesis in ground improvement.

This volume presents the proceedings of a symposium on rock mechanics, held in the USA in 1995. Topics covered include: rock dynamics; tool-rock interaction; radioactive waste disposal; underground mining and fragmentation and blasting.

Water-rock interactions play an important role in nearly all physical and chemical processes operating on the Earth's surface and subsurface. This work contains the proceedings of the Eighth International Symposium on Water-Rock Interaction.

These proceedings contain the complete papers or abstracts of all the presentations and posters presented at the eighth International Echinoderm Conference, held in Dijon, France in September, 1994. Coverage includes: extinct classes; crinoids; asteroids; ophiuroids; holothuroids; and echinoids.

Illustrating the variety of geoscience mapping, this book shows the importance of geosciences in dealing with 21st century issues and concerns. Topics covered include volcanic hazards, landslides, tsunami and much more.

This text deals with certain geological aspects of the extreme geographical locations of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula. Topics include Brazil - geology and vertebrate paleontology, and others.

This annual covers excavation reports and analytical studies on archaeology, palaeobotany and archaeozoology. Topics covered include the Allerod vegetation of southeastern Friesland, and Bronze Age metal and amber in the Netherlands.

This text looks at sediment transport, two-phase flow and loose boundary hydraulics which are some of the names used to identify problems of interaction between fluid flow (water or air) and its boundaries that may be non-cohesive (alluvial).
