Routledge Studies in Environment and Health

This book provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of how climate change-associated conflict will harm human health. Examining key concepts such as climate change as a threat multiplier and peace inhibitor, the book goes on to explore the ways in which climate change-associated conflict will result in the degradation or destruction of public health infrastructure and activity. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, public health, environmental sociology and conflict studies.

Examining key concepts such as climate change as a threat multiplier and peace inhibitor, the book goes on to explore the ways in which climate change-associated conflict will result in the degradation or destruction of public health infrastructure and activity. At an international level, climate change driven increases in the incidence of conflict would disrupt trade of food and medical supplies. It would likely also see an overall shift in government spending from health and its determinants toward defence, resulting in poorer health globally. To more fully explore the health effects of climate change-associated conflict, Bowles also investigates some other tertiary effects, including reduced food availability, economic growth, health system capacity and increased migration. The book concludes with an analysis of how the discipline of public health can better anticipate and ameliorate the effects of climate change.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, public health, environmental sociology and conflict studies.

Decision-making processes in water resources projects are often multi-criteria and multi-objective, meaning there are numerous factors that influence decisions and there are often several objectives that are sought. (An example would be balancing a precious water supply between agriculture use and drinking water.) The main concern in utilizing multi-criteria and multi-objectives decision-making techniques is that different techniques may result in different outputs; therefore, selecting an appropriate technique is crucial. This book will describe fundamental concepts, technical and economic aspects, and practical real-world applications for different decision-making techniques.

Geomorphometry: Concepts, Software, Applications, Second Edition aims to inform, educate, and assist users in the field by expanding the reach of the Geomorphometry community's knowledge. Geomorphometry, the science of quantitative land-surface analysis, evolved from geomorphology and quantitative terrain analysis, rooted in 19th-century geometry and physical geography. The modern discipline addresses the processing of elevation data, topography visualization, and numerous numerical analyses. Focusing on continuous land-surface and discrete features like watersheds, geomorphometry's operational goal is the extraction of measures and spatial features from digital topography. Since the book's first edition in 2009, there have been significant advancements in data production methods, the data itself, and software applications. The editors have proposed a second edition, maintaining the original structure while incorporating these improvements. The book also covers the refinement and analysis of digital elevation models (DEMs), the use of GIS tools, and the application of geomorphometric techniques in various fields such as hydrology, ecology, and urban planning.

Climate change-possibly the most pressing and difficult problem facing life on earth today-raises a series of questions that are fundamentally philosophical in nature. Some are: --Is skeptcism about climate change warranted? --Why does scientific consensus about global warming matter? --Who should pay-those who are causing the most damage or those who will bear the greatest burden-to mitigate the effects of climate change? Scientists and policy makers who grapple with these questions need the insights and contexts a philosophical analysis offers. And students and researchers in philosophy need to better know the scientific literature and political issues before offering ethical and philosophical commentary. With formal graduate training in the study of atmospheric science, a Ph.D. in philosophy, and a publication and teaching record that bridges the two areas, Wendy Parker adroitly addresses these and similar questions in, Understanding Climate Change: Science, Philosophy, and Policy. The book brings together a body of scattered research on these issues, but also breaks new ground, providing for a wide range of students and researchers a firmer footing on which to understand fully the scientific and policy issues related to climate change. The book is the first of its kind: a synoptic and coherent account-written for students and scholars in the humanities and the sciences--of the most salient philosophical issues related to our changing global climate.

Based on practical field experience and several case studies, this book presents state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques, validating their efficiency and accuracy in real-world industrial applications. The authors show how a meta-heuristic approach can enhance automatic fault monitoring in man-made systems. For each phase of fault monitoring, they propose a meta-heuristic approach that is tested experimentally in an actual industrial environment. While the proposed methods are validated on specific industrial problems, their applicability is wide and general.

Fully illustrated and accessible reference covering the background, current state, and future opportunities for wind energy development Wind Energy Landscape presents a comprehensive treatment of wind energy history, principles, and techniques as well as environmental, health, aesthetic, social, and political impacts. Focusing primarily on the European and North American markets with additional reviews from Asia, this book enables readers to gain a practical overview and understanding of modern wind energy, supported by in-depth case studies throughout. Fully illustrated with maps, satellite images, drawings, and photographs taken on the ground or via kite aerial photography, this book disproves many myths about wind energy--such as by demonstrating that wind farms may exist in rural land or offshore settings with minimal impacts--and promotes the radical-middle approach for integrated and evolving energy resources in which wind power has come to play a prominent role. The authors suggest that wind power in global energy development should be given prominent treatment, particularly for renewable, non-polluting energy sources. Wind Energy Landscape discusses topics including: <ul> <li>History of wind energy electricity generation through the late 19th and 20th centuries</li> <li>Environmental and aesthetic issues, including impacts on wildlife such as birds and bats as well as visibility and turbine noise</li> <li>Public policy for wind energy, covering subsidies, financial and import-export incentives, feed-in tariffs, local-content requirements, and R&amp;D investments</li> <li>Energy production and consumption of wind energy in comparison to nuclear energy, solar energy, and hydro and tidal energy, as well as fossil fuels including coal, oil, and natural gases</li> <li>An accompanying website includes news, updates, and more. Available at http: //www.geospectra.net/kansas_wind/ks_wind.htm.</li> </ul> Bridging the gap between advanced engineering and popular books, Wind Energy Landscape is an essential reference on the subject for students in introductory courses on electrical, mechanical, and aerodynamic engineering, engineers working with renewable and sustainable energy, and public policy makers.

Radiation Spectrum and Plant Metabolism: Interaction from the Sub-cellular to Ecosystem Level offers a clear illustration of the interaction between radiation spectrums and the dynamics of biological systems in plants. Explaining the light-Phyllosphere relationship, this volume describes metabolite chemistry, thus reflecting the developmental and functional fitness of the plant. As climate change has resulted in a natural variation in the cosmic radiation spectrum, a knowledge gap has emerged about the changing radiation spectrum and its impacts on plant metabolism. This book addresses the subject in-depth, providing insights into the functional role of photoreceptors, pigments, and various metabolites in coping with this alteration. It will be a valuable reference for photo biologists, biophysicists, and biochemists for deciphering the impacts of radiation spectrum on plant metabolism. Researchers working in the field of metabolite chemistry and metabolomics will also find it useful to comprehend the physical laws governing the interaction of radiation spectrum with biological system.
