The Benthic Boundary Layer

The benthic boundary layer is the zone of water and sediment immediately adjacent to the bottom of a sea, lake, or river. This zone is of considerable interest to biologists, geochemists, sedimentologists, and engineers. This book of original chapters edited by Professors Boudreau and Jorgensen, both leading researchers in the field, provides an up-to-date, definitive text/reference on measurements, techniques, and models fortransport and biochemical processes in the benthic boundary layer. Each chapter provides a comprehensive review of a selected field, with illustrated examples from the authors' own work.
