Environmental & Ecological Risk Assessment Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Environmental Applications and Case Studies

Environmental Impact Assessment A Guide to Best Professional Practices

Igor Linkov and Emily Moberg

Charles H. Eccleston

Through a collection of case studies, this book gives readers the tools to apply cutting-edge MCDA methods to their own environmental projects. Applying several methods to the case of sediment management, the authors illustrate how the methodologies differ. Case studies in nanotechnology demonstrate the application of MCDA for different aspects of emerging threat management in situations of high variability and uncertainty that require the integration of technical information and expert judgment. In addition, case studies ranging from oyster restoration to oil spill response demonstrate the broad applicability of MCDA methods to differing types of cases. This book inspires creative thinking when applying MCDA to complicated environmental issues.

Written to help decision makers form assessments on the environmental impacts a project would produce, this book provides an in-depth, yet concise description of the ecological, socioeconomic, and other parts of the natural environment that may be affected. It integrates five distinct, yet interrelated themes into a single comprehensive framework for practitioners. The author supplies a balanced skill set of concepts, principles, and practices and includes directions for developing a comprehensive Environmental Management System that can be used to monitor and implement final decisions based on such analyses.

Increasingly, social-environmental decision-making is like playing a multidimensional game of chess. Facing complex interactions between the atmosphere, the litho-hydrosphere, and the biosphere, policy makers and managers need a systemic approach to decisionmaking. Replacing the dysfunctional, symptomatic thinking that has plunged the world into environmental crises, the new paradigm of systemic decisionmaking fosters social-environmental sustainability. Based on the author’s more than 45 years of research and international experience, it guides readers to work with, rather than within, theoretical and methodological frameworks to achieve multidimensional and multilayered policy decisions.

Simulating Nature A Philosophical Study of ComputerSimulation Uncertainties and Their Role in Climate Science and Policy Advice, Second Edition

Fundamentals of Practical Environmentalism Mark B. Weldon Quaker Oats / PepsiCo, Mount Vernon, Iowa, USA Series: Social Environmental Sustainability

Addressing how to manage the science-policy interface, this book presents a philosophical study of the issues surrounding uncertainty in scientific simulation, particularly concerning the role it plays in public policy regarding climate change. The author, who participated in the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) plenaries in 2001 and 2007, discusses the assessment reports and workings of the IPCC. This second edition reflects the latest developments in climate change policy.

Introducing the concept of practical environmentalism from an individual's perspective, this book explains how we can integrate concern for the environment with the necessities of daily living. It provides a guiding framework to help readers make meaningful and rational environmental choices that address the four pillars of environmental degradation, resource conservation, economic progress, and personal benefit. Case studies range from small personal choices to the biggest and most contentious environmental dilemmas. The book shows how practical environmentalism can lead individuals toward better environmental decisions and an improved chance for true environmental progress.
