Physical Limnology provides the physical, chemical, and biological information practitioners need to effectively manage inland waters. Physical processes in lakes are known to have significant influence on driving the biology, chemistry, and geology in aquatic environments. In addition to covering the current knowledge in the area of lake physics, this helpful guide also provides coverage of some of the latest challenges in physical limnology. Physical Limnology also covers the mathematical modeling necessary to make basic calculations related to what is happening in lakes. * Authored by one of the recognized world leaders in the field* Covers the latest physical, chemical, and biological process information, making the work accessible to the general limnologist , lake practitioner, or biologist* Provides examples from the author's experience working with lakes around the world* Features coverage of the latest challenges in physical limnology
