Description
Maria Sala introduced experimental and field-based studies on soil and fluvial processes in Spain during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Research on this broad topic has grown remarkably worldwide since then. This title shows some of these advances and documents the latest
research, although with a particularity: it gives special treatment to research on Mediterranean climate regions, an ever-present issue
in Maria Sala's research career. It contains the latest research on slope and river processes with a special emphasis on rivers and catchments
with a Mediterranean climate. Papers cover a gamut of topics describing research and applied studies, mainly in Spain, but also in Israel,
the USA, Canada, the UK and New Zealand.
The book examines natural and anthropogenic processes operating in drainage basins and
includes coverage of current experimental and fieldwork investigations on soil erosion, river and catchment hydrology, suspended sediment
transport and bedload dynamics in gravel-bed rivers, and present-day diagnosis and future key-paths for catchment and river management.
