American Geophysical Union Congo Basin Hydrology, Climate, and Biogeochemistry: A Foundation for the Future (Geophysical Monograph Series)

New scientific discoveries in the Congo Basin as a result of international collaborationsThe Congo is the world's second largest river basin and home to 120 million people. Understanding the cycling of water, sediments, and nutrients is important as the region faces climatic and anthropogenic change.Congo Basin Hydrology, Climate, and Biogeochemistry: A Foundation for the Future explores variations in and influences on rainfall, hydrology and hydraulics, and sediment and carbon dynamics. It features contributions from experts in the region and their international collaborators.Volume highlights include:New in-situ and remotely sensed measurements and model resultsUse of historic data to assess precipitation and hydrologic changesExploration of water exchange between wetlands and riversBiogeochemical processes in the Congo’s forests and wetlandsA scientific foundation for hydrologic resource management in the regionStudies from different parts of the Congo river and its adjoining basinsThis book is available in English and French.The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
