Worldwide the majority of water bodies (rivers, reservoirs and lakes) are no longer in a natural morphodynamic status due to anthropogenic interventions in the catchment area as well as in the river itself. Alterations in the catchment, e.g. uprooting, may lead to high sediment intrusions in river systems even during relatively short precipitation events. The effect of high suspended load concentration and the intrusion of fine sediments (clogging) result in a reduction of habitat quality for many aquatic species. Furthermore, the low water quality can negatively affect both macroinvertebrates as well as microbial organisms on the sediment bed due to increased turbidity as well as sediment smothering that alter the light climate and oxygen penetration, respectively.

The current book continues the work of Winterwerp and Van Kesteren (2004) and Mehta (2013). Our main objective is to provide guidelines for good modeling practice to quantify the transport and fate of fine sediment in open water, with emphasis on the marine environment. We emphasize that a (numerical) model should never be an objective by itself. It is always a tool to help answering managerial or engineering questions, or to enhance our understanding of nature. Yet, in this book we do not elaborate on how to use a model as a tool, as this is too unique an issue.

Многие месторождения центральной части Западной Сибири находятся на поздней стадии разработки. В настоящее время проблемой является выяснение причин неравномерности выработки запасов на нефтяных месторождениях. Нет четкого понимания причин образования зон с повышенными остаточными запасами нефти, а также, почему разработка одного объекта идёт по-разному в разных его частях. 

Изучение особенностей позднечетвертичного осадконакопления в ключевых районах океана под влиянием глобальных климатических изменений является одной из фундаментальных научных проблем. Долины трансформных разломов срединноокеанических хребтов представляют собой узкие каналы, контролирующие распространение придонных и глубинных вод между абиссальными котловинами. Эти глубоководные проходы играют важную роль в обмене вод, тепла, растворенного кислорода, питательных веществ и биоты между океаническими бассейнами.

Scientific research on sediment dynamics in the coastal zone and along the littoral zone has evolved considerably over the last four decades. It benefits from a technological revolution that provides the community with cheaper or free tools for in situ study (e.g., sensors, gliders), remote sensing (satellite data, video cameras, drones) or modelling (open source models). These changes favour the transfer of developed methods to monitoring and management services.

A comprehensive study of cohesive sediment requires a multi-disciplinary approach. The behaviour of cohesive sediment is determined by physical, biological and chemical aspects. Furthermore, there is a wide range of societal issues related to cohesive sediments, such as siltation in navigational channels, water quality problems, sustainable management of estuaries and wetlands, stability of continental slopes, etc <...>

Исследование карбонатных пород георгиевского горизонта (J2bt3-J3tt1) на территории Западно-Сибирской плиты (ЗСП) в последнее время приобретает все большую актуальность в связи с появлением новых данных об о их литолого-геохимических особенностях (Юрченко и др., 2015; Зубков, 2014; Потапова и др., 2018). Наибольший интерес представляют собой карбонатные породы из кровельной части абалакской (J2bt3-J3tt1) и георгиевской (J3ox3-J3tt1) свит, в литературе они описываются как брекчированные известняки КС1 (корреляционный слой 1) (Белкин и др., 1983) или септариевые конкреции, разбитые радиальными трещинами (Сидоренков и др., 1985; Жуковская и др., 2011).

The depositional environments treated so far, and the lithologie associations generated in them, have either been wholly surficial (supracrustal) or they have had a significant supracrustal component. In contrast, the environmemts in which the rocks treated in Chapters 9,28,29,32 formed, were intracrustal. The lithologie associations described in Chapters 4,5,7, 11-14, 31,33, are partly intracrustal. <...>
