Suspended Particulate Matter in Lakes, Rivers, and Marine Systems

Hakanson (Uppsala University) presents dynamic mass balance models to predict concentrations of particulates in aquatic ecosystems and models to link these concentrations to measured data on the system variables. The graduate textbook takes into account mixing between surface water and deep water in lakes, catchment areas along rivers, and water exchange between a coastal area and the open sea.
