Assuming little or no prior knowledge on the part of the reader, the book looks at the main processes of global environmental change - global scale processes, large regional processes, repetitive processes - and how the hydrological cycle, processes and regimes impact on GEC and vice-versa.<BR>Understanding global environmental change.HydrologyEnvironmental aspectsHydrologyGlobal environmental changeHydrologyEnvironmental aspects.Hydrology.Global environmental change.551.4/8551.48Arnell Nigel987674FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910966956703321Hydrology and global environmental change4489837UNINA
