Sediment/Water Interactions, Reprinted from HYDROBIOLOGIA, 235/236, 1992
Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium
Developments in Hydrobiology Series, Vol. 75

The papers appearing in this volume reflect the current attention in sediment/water science to five main topics of investigation: Sediment dynamics in estuaries, coastal waters, lakes, reservoirs and rivers; Sediment-associated biological processes; Contaminant accumulation, distribution and geochemistry; Fluxes from sediments; and Element cycling.
Contributors address sediment/water interactions related to both fresh and salt water conditions.
