The book covers traditional green chemistry topics, including catalysis, benign solvents, and alternative feedstocks. It also discusses relevant but less frequently covered topics with chapters such as Chemistry of Longer Wear and Population and the Environment. This coverage highlights the importance of chemistry to everyday life and demonstrates the benefits the expanded exploitation of green chemistry can have for society. Copiously illustrated with over 800 figures, this second edition provides an update from the frontiers of the field.

Providing the tools students and professionals need, this book details different approaches to modelling the water environment over a range of spatial and temporal scales.

Their applications are shown with a series of case studies, taken mainly from the Asia-Pacific Region. Topics include linear systems, conceptual models, data driven models, process-based models, riskmanagement models, model parameter estimation as well as model calibration, validation, and testing.

Infrastructure Investment

An Uncertain Future?

An Engineering Perspective

Keith Beven

David G. Carmichael

Lancaster University, UK

University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

Uncertainty in the predictions of science when applied to the environment is an issue of great current relevance. Major topics of concern include the impacts of climate change, protection against natural and human-made disasters, and sustainable resource management. This book introduces future scientists and decision makers to the concepts and techniques of uncertainty estimation in environmental prediction. It explains the constraint of uncertainties by the collection of observations and discusses data assimilation in real-time forecasting.

It also presents techniques for decision making under uncertainty.

Prior to investment in an infrastructure project, it is necessary to establish its feasibility, both in monetary and nonmonetary terms. Nonmonetary considerations include social and environmental. Future demand and operating and maintenance costs for infrastructure are uncertain; lifetime and investment parameters are uncertain. This book provides a methodology for establishing the feasibility of infrastructure, or any man-made asset, and for options to modify or adapt, given future uncertainty such as that associated with climate change.

Mateo Gutierrez Department of Earth Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Spain

This book provides a detailed coverage of the landforms of the earth and the processes that shaped them.

Some of these morphologies were formed during past geological periods under environmental conditions very different from those of today. Studying these morphologies makes it possible to infer environmental changes involving geological media, the climate, and human activity. The book explores multiple aspects of geomorphology and offers a methodological foundation to approach the study of its various branches. Applied aspects of geomorphology are included to give students insight into the activities of geomorphologists in the professional world.

Geared to a first course in open channel flow, this book outlines current theory with clear and fully solved examples. Offering practical computational tools, such as spreadsheet applications and the HEC-RAS program, it assumes a foundation in fluid mechanics and then adopts a deliberately logical sequence through energy, momentum, friction, and gradually varied flow. It comes with downloadable animations, PowerPoint slides, and exam questions for instructors.

Principles of Membrane Bioreactors for Wastewater Treatment Hee-Deung Park, In-Soung Chang, and Kwang-Jin Lee Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology is a wastewater treatment method combining biological pollutant treatment with physical membrane separation. It has gained increasing commercial significance over the last decade, with applications in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment becoming increasingly widespread. MBR technology is mostly taught as part of Biological Wastewater Treatment and Membrane Technology courses for senior undergraduates or graduates; however, there are very few textbooks covering this important topic. This textbook describes the state of the art of MBR technology, principles of MBR, and design and operation of the plants.

Fourth Edition

Dominic Reeve, Andrew Chadwick, and Christopher Fleming

Elizabeth M. Shaw, Keith J. Beven, Nick A. Chappell, and Rob Lamb

This second edition brings the models and examples of practice up to date. It has expanded coverage of tsunamis and generating energy from waves to focus both on the great dangers and the great opportunities which the ocean presents to the coastal zone. Emphasising practice and detailed modelling, this is a thorough introduction to all aspects of coastal processes, morphology and design of coastal defences with numerous case studies to illustrate the successful application of mathematical modelling to real-world practice.

This fourth edition of Hydrology in Practice, while retaining the successful qualities of its predecessor, replaces the material on the Flood Studies Report with an equivalent section on the methods of the Flood Estimation Handbook.

Other completely revised sections on instrumentation and modelling reflect the many changes that have occurred over recent years. This edition also draws on the expertise of Keith J. Beven and Nick A. Chappell, who have extensive experience in field hydrological studies in a variety of different environments and have taught undergraduate hydrology courses for many years.

Topical case studies further enhance the text.

Pavel Novak, Vincent Guinot, Alan Jeffrey, and Dominic E. Reeve Modelling is a vital part of all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers are not fully aware of the assumptions involved in the process. These assumptions can have important consequences when choosing the best model to inform design decisions. This book helps identify the most appropriate form of analysis for the hydraulic engineering application in question. The book also provides guidance on the range of accuracy to be expected of the model simulations and how they should be related to the prototype. Applications to models include open channel systems, closed conduit flows, storm drainage systems, estuaries, coastal and nearshore structures, and hydraulic structures.
