Zusatztext "After reading this book! I rate it to be an extremely useful tool to keep on a bookshelf! both for occasional checks for concepts or data and as study and reading material for graduate and postgraduate researchers. The editors and the authors are to be commended for their effort to create a conceptual order and study path in the vast thematic area of fluid processes at environmental interfaces."Andrea Marion! University of Podova! Italy! in: Journal of Hydraulic Research Vol. 52! No. 4 (2014)! pp. 580-581"Overall! the text is an excellent treatment of the fluid mechanics of interfaces within the hydrosphere and the atmosphere. The monograph reads well as a cohesive text! providing insight to the student and the scholar. The book will make an excellent addition to the student's or the researcher's library. I look forward to applying the text the next time I teach environmental fluid mechanics; it will significantly improve my treatment of exchange at all boundaries of fluid flows."Scott A. Socolofsky! College Station! TX! USA! in: European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids 45 (2014) 89 Informationen zum Autor Carlo Gualtieri is currently Assistant Professor in Environmental Hydraulics at the Hydraulic, Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering Department (DIGA) of the University of Napoli Federico II . He received a B.Sc. in Hydraulic Engineering at the University of Napoli Federico II , where he also received a M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering and a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering. Prof. Gualtieri published 102 peer reviewed scientific papers, including 25 publications in scientific journals, 53 papers in conference proceedings, and 24 other refereed publications in subjects related to environmental hydraulics and computational environmental fluid mechanics, with over 80 papers, experimental investigations of two-phase flows, water supply networks management and environmental risk. He is co-author of 2 textbooks on Hydraulics and author of a textbook on Environmental Hydraulics. He co-edited the books Fluid Mechanics of Environmental Interfaces (Taylor & Francis, 2008) and Advances in Environmental Fluid Mechanics (World Scientific, 2010). Since 2006 he is a member of the Editorial Board of Environmental Modelling and Software (Elsevier) and since 2008 of Environmental Fluid Mechanics (Springer). He contributed as reviewer to several scientific journals (e.g. Environmental Fluid Mechanics, Environmental Modeling and Software, Journal of Environmental Engineering ASCE, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering ASCE, Journal of Hydraulic Research, Experiments in Fluids, Advances in Water Resources, Water Resources Research, etc.) and as external examiner for Ph.D. thesis in foreign countries. He is co-organizer of the Environmental Fluid Mechanics session at the International Environmental Modelling & Software Society (iEMSs) biennial conferences since 2004. He is also active as expert reviewer for research funding agencies in several countries. He is member of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) and of the iEMSs. Dragutin T. Mihailovic is Professor of Meteorology and Biophysics at the Department of Vegetable and Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Novi Sad, Serbia. He is also Professor of Modelling Physical Processes at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences at the same university and Visiting Professor at the State University of New York at Albany, NY (USA). He teaches various theoretical and numerical meteorology courses to Physics and Agriculture students. He received a B.Sc. in Physics at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, his M.Sc. in Dynamic Meteorology at the University of Belgrade and defended his Ph.D. Thesis in Dynamic Meteorology at the University of Belgrade.
