50 Geologische Highlights der Eifel

In this book, a broad, systems-based approach to plastic waste management is incorporated to align efforts toward the common goal of net zero plastic waste. A comprehensive approach that considers global implications is essential when designing national policies. Countries must address not only local but also international environmental impacts in their strategies. The book's key features include elements such as improving end-of-life management, designing longer-lasting products, and implementing extended producer responsibility. These actions are put in the context of government and consumer initiatives, including international policies, enhanced waste management, and increased public awareness. It is crucial to document and report on plastic waste management practices to foster international collaboration and help countries and municipalities set meaningful goals to reduce plastic waste entering the natural environment. Graduate Students, Materials Scientists and Polymer Chemists, Researchers, Professionals and Engineers will benefit from this unique and in-depth perspective of functional polymeric materials used in circular economy.

From Waste to Resource

Sustainable Approaches in Plastic Management

What will remain of our plastic, cans, and other junk long after humans have vanished? What kind of fossils will we leave, as relics into the far future? A blizzard of new objects has suddenly appeared on Earth: plastic bottles, ballpoint pens, concrete flyways, outsize chicken bones, aluminium cans, teabags, mobile phones, T-shirts. They're produced for our comfort and pleasure ^—^ then quickly discarded. The number of our constructions has exploded, to outweigh the whole living world. This new-made treasure chest underpins our lives. But it is also giving a completely new style of fossilization to our planet, as hyper-diverse and hyper-rapidly-evolving technofossils spin out of our industrialized economy. Designed to resist sun, wind, rain, corrosion and decay, and buried in soils, seafloor muds and the gigantic middens of our landfill sites, many will remain, petrified, as future geology. What will these technofossils look like, in future rock? How long will they last and how will they change, as they lie underground for decades, then millennia, then millions of years? Discarded describes how they transform as they are attacked by bacteria, baked by the Earth's inner heat, squashed by overlying rock, permeated by subterranean fluids, crumpled by mountain-building movements ^—^ and what will be left of them. These new fossils also have meaning for our lives today. For we live on a world increasingly buried under our growing waste. As our discarded artefacts begin to change into fossils, they may be swallowed by birds, entangle fish, alter microbial communities and release toxins. Even deeply buried in rock, technofossils may break down into new-formed oil and gas, change the composition of groundwater, and attract new mineral growths. They will have a lasting impact. It is a new planetary phenomenon, now unfolding around us. Scientists are only just beginning to grasp its scale, and get to grips with how it functions. This book describes, for the general reader, the kind of science that is emerging to show the far-future human footprint on Earth. It offers a different perspective upon fossils and fossilization, one that expands the idea of what people think of as fossils, and what they can tell us.

Discarded tells the story of the fossils we will leave as relics into the far future. It explores how the things we now so abundantly produce and discard ^—^ plastic bottles, mobile phones, concrete flyways, chicken bones, aluminium cans and many more ^—^ might alter with burial and petrify, to become future geology.

How Technofossils Will be Our Ultimate Legacy

Bäume sind Zeugen ihrer Umgebung. Sie reagieren auf Wind, Wasser, Licht und Boden ebenso wie auf menschliche Eingriffe. In ihrer Form und ihrem Wachstum speichern sie Informationen darüber, was an einem Ort geschieht und geschehen ist. In ›Die Landkarte der Bäume‹ zeigt Tristan Gooley, wie sich diese Zeichen lesen lassen und wie wir Natur, aber auch Städte anhand von Bäumen decodieren können. 
Gooley beschreibt Bäume als lebendige Karten. Ein schief gewachsener Stamm kann auf den vorherrschenden Wind hinweisen, besonders große Blätter auf feuchten Boden oder Wasser in der Nähe. Alleen oder einzelne große Bäume in offener Landschaft weisen oft auf Wege oder Siedlungen hin. Wo viele junge Bäume derselben Art stehen, lassen sich frühere Störungen erkennen, etwa durch Stürme, Rodungen oder Brände. Tristan Gooley geht es dabei stets um Muster, die sich in unterschiedlichen Landschaften überall auf der Welt beobachten lassen, und weniger um botanische Details. 
Erzählerisch und humorvoll nimmt er die Leser*innen mit auf seine Wanderungen und Reisen und lässt sie an seinem umfangreichen Wissen über die Natur teilhaben.

Reshaping Geotechnical Engineering with Machine Learning: Theory, Applications, and Innovations explores the transformative impact of machine learning (ML) on the field of geotechnical engineering. The book begins by examining the broad applications of ML in key areas such as foundation engineering and slope stability, demonstrating how advanced algorithms can enhance predictive accuracy and decision-making. It emphasizes the importance of robust data acquisition and preprocessing techniques, which are critical for the successful implementation of ML models in geotechnical contexts. The text examines the use of machine learning for predicting soil behavior, a complex challenge in geotechnical engineering, and highlights its role in risk assessment and management. In addition, it also addresses the integration of ML with finite element modeling to improve the analysis of tunnel and underground stability. The applications of machine learning in understanding geotechnical materials further showcase the versatility of these techniques. It also covers experimental investigations, including laboratory and field studies, which provide essential data for model training and validation. Through detailed case studies, the book illustrates practical implementations of machine learning, bridging theory and real-world problem-solving.

Reshaping Geotechnical Engineering with Machine Learning

Rocks and mountains have withstood aeons of life on our planet - gradually eroding, shifting, solidifying, and weathering. We might spend a little less time on earth, but humans are also weathering: evolving and changing as we're transformed by the shifting climates of our lives and experiences. So, what might these ancient natural forms have to teach us about resilience and change?In a stunning exploration of our own connection to these enduring forms, outdoor psychotherapist and geologist Ruth Allen takes us on a journey through deep time and ancient landscapes, showing how geology - which has formed the bedrock of her own adult life and approach to therapy - can offer us a new way of thinking about our own grief, change and boundaries. In a world shaken by physical, political, and medical disasters, Weathering argues for a deeper understanding of the ground beneath our feet to better serve ourselves and the world we live in.

Your Fears Are Melting (Iceland Love 2)

Providing a new approach to Earth history, this engaging undergraduate textbook highlights key episodes in the history of our planet and uses them to explain the most important concepts in geology. Rather than presenting exhaustive descriptions of each period of geological time, this conceptual approach shows how geologists use multiple strands of evidence to build up an understanding of the geological past, focusing on exciting events like the extinction of the dinosaurs and the formation of the Grand Canyon and the Himalaya. Beginning with an introduction to geology, tectonics, and the origin of the Universe, subsequent chapters chronicle defining moments in Earth history in an accessible narrative style. Each chapter draws on a variety of sub-disciplines, including stratigraphy, paleontology, petrology, geochemistry, and geophysics, to provide students who have little or no previous knowledge of geology with a broad understanding of our planet and its fascinating history.

This introductory undergraduate textbook provides a conceptual approach to Earth History and Historical Geology by focusing on key events to explain fundamental geological concepts. Its engaging narrative style and full-colour illustrations offer a broad overview of Earth history to those with little or no previous knowledge of the geology.

Very Short Introductions

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring 

The issues around 'climate' range across all aspects of the global system, including the different components that have controlled climate on Earth throughout its history, as well as how solar energy is able to reach the Earth, how it is redistributed around the planet by the ocean-atmosphere system, and the relationship and differences between climate and the weather

This Very Short Introduction examines all this, and further explores the causes and impacts of extreme storms around the world, the role of plate tectonics and Milankovitch orbital cycles on Earth's past climate, and its impact on evolution and human development. The book examines the climate impacts of supercontinents and ice ages and Maslin details all the potential ways that we can tackle future climate change and improve people's lives. He concludes by discussing climate change in the far future and the death of planet Earth.
