Geoenvironmental Mapping: Methods,Theory and Practice
Author: Peter T Bobrowsky
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9789054104872
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 748
Book Description
This text illustrates the range of environmental geoscience mapping presently carried out around the world. Specialists in several countries have contributed a number of subdisciplinary and thematic topics including volcanic hazards, landslides, dolines, tsunamis, radon potential, medical geology, rainfall erosion, engineering geology, borehole stratigraphy, lake sediment geochemistry, aggregate resources and remote sensing. The collection, analysis and interpretation of data by geologists, geographers and engineers typically involves the presentation of information in map form, which can range from black/white to colour, 2-D to 3-D and paper copy to digital format illustrations. This volume reaffirms the global need for mapping geoscientific data.

Risk Conundrums
Author: Roger E Kasperson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 131735348X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
A risk conundrum can be viewed as a risk that poses major issues in assessment, and whose management is not easily engaged. Such perplexing problems can either paralyze or badly delay risk analysis and directions for progression. Rather than simply focusing on the progress in risk analysis that has already been made, it is crucial to consider what has been learnt about these seemingly unmanageable problems and how best to move forward. Risk Conundrums seeks to answer this question by bringing together a range of key thinkers in the field to explore key issues such as risk communication, uncertainty, social trust, indicators and metrics, and risk management, drawing upon case study examples including natural disasters, terrorism, and energy transitions. The initial chapters address risk conundrums, their properties, and the challenges they pose. The book then turns to a greater emphasis on systemic and regional risk conundrums. Finally, it considers how risk management can be changed to address these unsolvable conundrums. Alternative pathways are defined and scrutinized and predictions for future developments set out. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of risk governance, environmental policy, and sustainable development.

Geo-environmental Issues Facing the Americas
Author: Emir José Macari
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Contributing researchers and practitioners from academia, government agencies, and industry provide data and information relating to geoenvironmental issues in developed and developing countries of the western hemisphere. Contributors discuss environmental regulations, site assessment, remediation, and education, as well as landfills and containment systems and the transfer of new technologies. Issues and problems in Latin America, cost effective technologies, and a theoretical framework for simulating sustainable geoenvironmental technologies are reviewed. Thermal treatment of contaminated and neat soil, sedimentation and consolidation of a neutralized red mud, alternative barrier layers for surface covers in dry climates, and bioaugmentation of hydrocarbon-impacted sands are additional topics covered.
