Index.
Patrick O'Sullivan was formerly Principal Lecturer in
Environmental Science at the University of Plymouth, UK. His
research was mainly been conducted into the development through
time of lake-watershed ecosystems, and the reconstruction of lake
ontogenies using palaeolimnological and documentary proxy records.
Throughout his teaching career, he concentrated on development of
interdisciplinary programmes in Environmental Science, and the
interface between the scientific understanding of human impact upon
natural processes in lakes, and the economic and philosophical
ideas which lie behind the solutions to 'environmental'
problems.
Colin Reynolds is a Research Fellow at the Windermere Laboratory of the Freshwater Biological Association. Most of his work there has been directed towards the ecology and dynamics of phytoplankton, in lakes, rivers and reservoirs. He has published over 200 research papers, two books and edited or co-edited several others. He won the International Prize in Limnetic Ecology in 1994 and was awarded the Naumann–Thienemann medal of SIL, the International Association for Limnology.
"However, I suggest that no serious contemporary lake limnologist
should be without this volume on the desk or bookshelves. I
anticipate regular returns to my inspection copy." (African Journal
of Aquatic Science, 2004)
"...the Editors and their contributors have provided a treasure
chest of information....researchers...would be well advised to
recommend it to their librarians."
SILnews
"...a powerful text of such scope and calibre as to set a benchmark
for limnetic ecology in the 21st century. Achieving a range of
disparate accomplishments, it could potentially re-catalyse lake
limnology."
