Preview Groundwater and Ecosystems (NATO Science Series: IV: Earth and Environmental Sciences)

Groundwater and Ecosystems NATO Science Series A Series presenting the results of scientific meetings supported under the NATO Science Programme. The Series is publishedby IOS Press, Amsterdam, and Springerin conjunction with the NATO Public Diplomacy Division. Sub-Series I. Life and Behavioural Sciences IOS Press II. Mathematics,Physics and Chemistry Springer III.Computer and Systems Science IOS Press IV.Earth and Environmental Sciences Springer The NATO Science Series continues the series of books published formerly as the NATO ASI Series. The NATO Science Programme offers support for collaboration in civil science between scientists of countries of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council.The types of scientific meeting generally supported are “Advanced Study Institutes”and “Advanced Research Workshops”, and the NATO Science Series collects together the results of these meetings.The meetings are co-organized by scientists from , NATO countries and scientists from NATOs Partner countries – countries of the CIS and Central and Eastern Europe. Advanced Study Institutes are high-level tutorial courses offering in-depth study of latest advances in a field. Advanced Research Workshops are expert meetings aimed at critical assessment of a field, and identification of directions for future action. As a consequence of the restructuring of the NATO Science Programme in 1999, the NATO Science Series was re-organized to the four sub-series noted above.
