Beschreibung
Extreme River Crossings presents a groundbreaking analysis of river fording in mountainous environments, combining scientific principles with practical field expertise to create a comprehensive guide for outdoor safety. This innovative work bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, making complex hydrodynamic concepts accessible to outdoor enthusiasts while maintaining technical accuracy. Through a systematic approach, the book transforms traditionally experience-based river crossing techniques into a quantifiable science.
The book uniquely integrates multiple disciplines, from hydrology to materials science, progressing logically from fundamental water dynamics to equipment selection and real-world applications. It introduces readers to crucial concepts like flow rates, water pressure dynamics, and substrate composition, supported by extensive research across five continents and data from controlled testing environments. A standout feature is its proprietary flow-rate calculation method, specifically designed for mountain environments, which provides readers with concrete tools for assessing crossing conditions.
The content is structured to serve both technical and practical needs, incorporating detailed diagrams, mathematical models, and case studies from both successful and failed crossing attempts. While primarily targeting mountaineers, wilderness guides, and rescue personnel, the book's thorough approach to safety and decision-making makes it valuable for anyone venturing into mountainous terrain. Each chapter builds upon the previous, culminating in practical exercises and scenarios that allow readers to immediately apply their learning, making complex concepts actionable in real-world situations.
