Wetlands serve many important functions and provide numerous ecological services such as clean water, wildlife habitat, nutrient reduction, and flood control. Wetland science is a relatively young discipline but is a rapidly growing field due to an enhanced understanding of the importance of wetlands and the numerous laws and policies that have been developed to protect these areas. This growth is demonstrated by the creation and growth of the Society of Wetland Scientists which was formed in 1980 and now has a membership of 3,500 people.  It is also illustrated by the existence of 2 journals (Wetlands and Wetlands Ecology and Management) devoted entirely to wetlands. To date there has been no practical, comprehensive techniques book centered on wetlands, and written for wetland researchers, students, and managers. This techniques book aims to fill that gap. It is designed to provide an overview of the various methods that have been used or developed by researchers and practitioners to study, monitor, manage, or create wetlands. Including many methods usually found only in the peer-reviewed or gray literature, this 3-volume set fills a major niche and for all professionals dealing with wetlands.

Sponsored by the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering of ASCE On April 20, 2013, a 6.6 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter in Lushan struck the southern portion of the Longmenshan mountain range southwest of Chengdu, Sichuan province, and caused damage to structures and lifelines. The worst affected areas included the cities of Lushan, Baoxing, Tianquan, Sheungshizhen, and Taipingzhen, with landslides and rockslides causing major road closures and hampering emergency response efforts. This TCLEE Monograph discusses the following lifeline systems: electric power; water distribution; wastewater treatment; roads and bridges; telecommunications; emergency response methods; and essential and regular building stock. General seismology of the event and geotechnical features of the area are included. This monograph will be of interest to civil engineers, emergency managers and planners, and government officials charged with improving the resilience of lifeline infrastructure systems during earthquakes, landslides, and rockslides.
