Alin Mihu-Pintilie Natural Dam Lake Cuejdel in the Stanisoarei Mountains, Eastern Carpathians

Annotation

This book presents an interdisciplinary study of Lake Cuejdel, one of the youngest natural dam lakes in Romania. Even though the overall study has a strong geographical approach, it also includes limnological and hydrological studies. The lake was formed in two phases: Initially a small lake appeared in 1978, and then in 1991 a major landslide occurred that blocked the Cuejdel brook and a larger lake was formed.The book covers various topics, including the lacustrine basin, the geological setting, analyses of the physical-chemical parameters, water dynamics, flora and fauna and lake management.This book is of interest for those working in freshwater science and ecology, physical geography, hydrology and limnology..
