This book provides an introductory understanding of fluvial geomorphic principles and how these principles can be integrated with geochemical data to cost-effectively characterize, assess and remediate contaminated rivers. The book stresses the importance of needing to understand both geomorphic and geochemical processes. Thus, the overall presentation is first an analysis of physical and chemical processes and, second, a discussion of how an understanding of these processes can be applied to specific aspects of site assessment and remediation. Such analyses provide the basis for a realistic prediction of the kinds of environmental responses that might be expected, for example, during future changes in climate or land-use.

Come along with me as I take a drift down a cascading coastal river or float tube a quiet beaver pond in a forested glade on the sides of a dormant volcano. It is hard not to be moved by the richness and beauty as I ply the various waters in search of a variety of aquatic and marine animals. I will delve into some of the nuances of my first and most favorite method of fishing using flies tied by myself and a few others. The many outings have served as a source of inspiration and amazement as I have witnessed everything from massive migrations of salmon to something as beautiful and delicate as the construction of a caddis fly. Let your imagination kick in, relax, and enjoy the words and images as I bring forth a world of enjoyment and learning.
