Geoengineering Responses to Climate Change
Author: Tim LentonPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 146145770X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Failure by the international community to make substantive progress in reducing CO2 emissions, coupled with recent evidence of accelerating climate change, has brought increasing urgency to the search for additional remediation approaches. This book presents a selection of state-of-the-art geoengineering methods for deliberately reducing the effects of anthropogenic climate change, either by actively removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere or by decreasing the amount of sunlight absorbed at the Earth’s surface. These methods contrast with more conventional mitigation approaches which focus on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. Geoengineering technologies could become a key tool to be used in conjunction with emissions reduction to limit the magnitude of climate change. Featuring authoritative, peer-reviewed entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology, this book presents a wide range of climate change remediation technologies.
Advances in Cleaner Production. Volume 2
Author: Biagio F. GiannettiPublisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781634638487
Category : Factory and trade waste
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Cleaner Production is an emerging field of research that comprises concepts and methodologies from different disciplines in a problem-oriented manner. Research efforts are often concentrated in a variety of sectoral domains; and, for understanding the global change which embraces a variety of processes on several scales, a variety of environmental and sustainability aspects can be addressed. This book brings contributions from researchers that participated in editions of the International Workshop Advances in Cleaner Production (www.advancesincleanerproduction.net) held in São Paulo, Brazil. The book includes contributions from researchers from various countries for the development of Cleaner Production. Divided into three sections, the book addresses national experiences for the implementation of CP programs, research related to the metrics used to assess the effects of CP initiatives in the production sector and discussions that emerge before and after the implementation of these programs. Methodological approaches presented can be useful in the design and management of production systems, for policy development, environmental risk reduction, and prevention/mitigation strategies.

Research Anthology on Emerging Techniques in Environmental Remediation
Author: Management Association, Information ResourcesPublisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1668437155
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 710
Book Description
As industry develops globally, environmental pollution grows to be an increasingly serious problem with each passing year. While there are many things that individuals on every level of power can do to mitigate the harm done to the environment, environmental remediation is a step to take to save our soil and water resources. As this problem is ongoing, it is essential to be knowledgeable in the emerging techniques made within the field of environmental remediation. The Research Anthology on Emerging Techniques in Environmental Remediation is a comprehensive resource on the emerging techniques and developments made within the field of environmental remediation. With global contributing authors, this book explores environmental remediation within diverse settings and international standards. Covering topics such as pollution and contamination, nanotechnology, and agriculture, this book is an essential reference for scientists, chemists, environmentalists, government officials, professors, students, researchers, conservationists, and academicians.
