University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
Spanning biophysics, biochemistry, land-use change, and measuring and modeling, this book addresses the quantitative spatial and temporal dynamics of global savannas. It describes the global savanna biome in terms of broad ecological properties, temporal dynamics, disturbance levels, and human dimensions. The text examines carbon, water, energy, and trace gas fluxes for major global savanna regions. It also looks at quantitative surface properties that can be retrieved using remote sensing, presents numerical approaches to explore savanna dynamics, and explores the unification of savanna modeling and measurement.
The new research described in this book demonstrates that the interplay of a host of founding conditions can frequently produce profound differences in population expansion rates and maintenance of genetic diversity in contrasting populations that differ, often only to slight degrees, in initial founding conditions. A user’s manual for the included NEWGARDEN software, the book provides a series of examples that demonstrate that differences in geometric spacing among plant founders can result in significant differences in demographic and genetic variation trajectories.

Consulting Civil Geological and Environmental Engineer, Rolla, Missouri, USA
While tremendous progress has been made in remediating sites that have been contaminated by chlorinated solvents, stabilizers that were added to chlorinated solvents in order to improve their performance have been overlooked. This book is the first to focus on the little-known contaminant 1,4-Dioxane. Written by the top authority in the field, it presents an indispensable reference for forensic investigation of source apportionment at solvent release sites. The book also examines how sites contaminated with solvent stabilizers can be identified, investigated, and remediated.
This book is a compendium of essential knowledge about remedial alternatives to address today’s public health and environmental threats from coal tar. It combines scientific data with common sense and empirical lore passed down from generations of gas professionals. Almost encyclopedic in scope, it offers 265 tables of facts and associations to clarify the corresponding and interrelated conditions and factors necessary to define site-specific gas plant conditions. The book also includes 375 historic photographs and drawings and an extensive glossary.

There has been a growing interest in considering nonlinear soil-foundation interaction in the design of shallow foundations, both for static and earthquake loading. To distinguish these approaches from the classical linear elastic soilstructure interaction, the term soil-foundation-structure-interaction (SFSI) has been coined recently. This book reviews the state of development, discusses the potential for application in foundation design, and considers how this area might develop in the next few years. It will interest students in foundation engineering, earthquake geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, and advanced structural dynamics.
With pioneering editors and expert contributors, Advanced Geoinformation Science explores how certain technical aspects of geoinformation have been used and could be used to address such global issues such as tsunamis, hurricanes, economic crises, epidemics, and emergency responses. Enhanced with color illustrations, live examples such as GOS and AirNow, and insights from NASA, EPA, and USGS, the book delineates the problems communities are likely to face and explains how advanced geoinformation science can be a part of their solution.

This completely revised and updated second edition also introduces the concept of bacteria community intelligence. The book allows readers to start with a symptom, uncover the bacterial activities, and then identify the communities distinctly enough to allow management and control.
