    Abstract: This book describes and analyses the diversity of possible approaches and policy pathways to implement sustainable groundwater development, based on a comparative analysis of numerous quantitative management case studies from France and Australia. This unique book brings together water professionals and academics involved for several decades in groundwater policy making, planning or operational management to reflect on their experience with developing and implementing groundwater management policy. The data and analysis presented accordingly makes a significant contribution to the empirical water management literature by providing novel, real world insights unpublished elsewhere. The originality of the contributions also lies in the different disciplinary perspectives (hydrogeology, economics, planning and social sciences in particular) adopted in many chapters. The book offers a unique comparative analysis of France, Australia and experiences in countries such as Chile and the US to identify similarities, but also fundamental differences, which are analysed and presented as alternative policy options – these differences being mainly related to the role of the state, the community and market mechanisms in groundwater management.

    Geology of the Cayman Islands : Evolution of Complex Carbonate Successions on Isolated Oceanic Islands (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geology. ; Water. ; Hydrology. ; Sedimentology. ; Earth sciences. ; Geography. ; Geology. ; Water. ; Sedimentology. ; Earth Sciences. ; Geography.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Tectonic Setting of Cayman Islands -- Stratigraphic framework -- The Bluff Group -- The Ironshore Formation -- Modern marine sediments of the Cayman Islands -- Dolomitization of the Bluff Group -- Karst and caves -- Phosphates, terra rossa and mangrove peat -- Modern Hydrology -- Summary Information Database.
    Abstract: Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac are, in reality, the summits of independent fault blocks that rise from the depths of the Caribbean Sea. This book traces the geological evolution of these islands over the last 30 to 35 million years. The balance between deposition of carbonate sediments and karst development of the exposed land was dictated by the interaction between ever-changing sea levels and vertical tectonic movement of the fault blocks. Today, drinking water needed for the ever-increasing populations of the islands is supplied largely by desalinization plants that are located in accord with a detailed knowledge of the bedrock. This book is based on an extensive data base that has been assembled over the last 40 years of field work and laboratory analyses. Noteworthy aspects of this database include: Approximately 60 visits to the islands over last 40 years – sampling and documentation of virtually every accessible outcrop on the islands (including some that no longer exist). Most samples have been fully documented petrographically and geochemically. Data from 120 wells that have been drilled to depths up to 245 m (most less than 125 m). Wells have been cored and/or chip sampled. Full documentation of drilling histories, XRD analyses of samples, extensive geochemical analyses for major and minor elements, stable isotopes, 87Sr/86Sr ratios, and Rare Earth Elements from numerous samples. Mapping and sampling of modern sediments, including sediment cores, from most of the lagoons around Grand Cayman. Extensive thin section petrography, scanning electron microscope, and electron microprobe analyses of the dolostones and limestones that form the bedrock of the islands. Samples and data collected from numerous caves on Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac have been used to track their developmental history. Detailed analyses of phosphates collected from Little Cayman. Detailed analyses of terra rossa collected from each of the islands.

    Seasonal Flood Forecasts and Warning Response Opportunities : ENSO Applications in Bangladesh (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Natural disasters. ; Environment. ; Physical geography. ; Environmental management. ; Natural Hazards. ; Environmental Sciences. ; Earth System Sciences. ; Environmental Management.
    Description / Table of Contents: TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface: Why ENSO-based seasonal forecasts are important in Bangladesh Acknowledgements -- About the author -- Chapter 1: Introduction—Seasonal Flood Potential in Bangladesh -- Chapter 2: Basin-wide Hydro-Meteorological Variability and Opportunity for Seasonal -- Forecasts in Bangladesh -- Chapter 3: History of Flood Forecasts and Early Warning in Bangladesh -- Chapter 4: Overview of Weather, ENSO, and Climate Scale -- Chapter 5: The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Seasonal Flooding in Bangladesh -- Chapter 6: Seasonal Flood Potential in Bangladesh -- Chapter 7: Overview of Eastern, Mixed, and Central Pacific El Niño -- Chapter 8: Seasonal Sea Level Information and Flood Forecast Potential in Bangladesh -- Chapter 9: Consensus Seasonal Flood Forecasts and Warning Response in Bangladesh -- Chapter 10: ENSO Impacts, Applications, and Conclusions.
    Abstract: This book explores the feasibility of using El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-based forecasts and early warning systems to prevent losses from floods and droughts in Bangladesh. Despite advances in short-range flood forecasting and information dissemination systems in Bangladesh, the present system is less than satisfactory. This is due to short lead-time products, outdated dissemination networks, and lack of direct feedback from the end-user. One viable solution is to produce long-lead seasonal forecasts—the demand for which is significantly increasing in Bangladesh— and disseminate these products through appropriate channels. As observed in other regions, the success of seasonal forecasts, in contrast to short-term forecasts, depends on consensus among the participating institutions. Therefore, the primary objective of the book is to revisit and modify the framework of an ideal warning response system for issuance of consensus seasonal flood forecasts in Bangladesh. The book discusses issues related to the 5-stage Flood Forecasts, Warning, and Response System (FFWRS) and emphasizes the role of the seasonal ‘Climate Outlook Forum (COF)’ in Bangladesh. The book also identifies ways to improve forecasting and early warning systems by utilizing ENSO-based climate data and models, and discusses a comprehensive and participatory approach to seasonal flood hazard management in Bangladesh. Several successful case examples of ENSO-based seasonal forecasts and early warning systems from other ENSO-sensitive regions have been documented. The primary audience includes academics and students, government policymakers, engineers, and business leaders.

    Suriname Revisited: Economic Potential of its Mineral Resources (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geology. ; Mineralogy. ; Power resources. ; Geology. ; Mineralogy. ; Natural Resource and Energy Economics.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Geology of Suriname -- Chapter 3. A Brief History of Exploration Work -- Chapter 4. Modeling Potential: Minimal Economic Resource Parameters -- Chapter 5. Gold -- Chapter 6. Bauxite -- Chapter 7. Base metals -- Chapter 8. Other Metallic Minerals -- Chapter 9. Critical Raw Materials -- Chapter 10. Other Minerals -- Chapter 11. Looking ahead.
    Abstract: This book summarizes the exploration history and provides a framework for assessing the economic potential of the country’s minerals by defining minimal deposit parameters for the various commodities present. Suriname was explored extensively for mineral occurrences in the course of the previous century, indicating the presence of a range of commodities. The country mined and processed bauxite for a century (until 2016), and has an even longer history of small-scale alluvial gold mining; it is currently home to two major gold producers. However, exploration activities have been limited during the past 4 decades as most parts of Suriname’s interior are difficult to access, making geological fieldwork both difficult and expensive. Further, the markets and prices have changed in the interim, which calls for a fresh look at the historic data. .

    Abstract: Introduction to GNSS Geodesy is a concise reference for beginners and experts in GNSS-based satellite geodesy. It covers all of the important concepts in almost a third of the space of the other GNSS books. Th e book begins with a case study in Augmented Reality to set the stage for what is to come and then moves on to the key elements of GNSS geodesy that make accurate and precise geopositioning possible. For example, it is important to understand the geodetic reference systems and the associated GNSS data processing strategies that enable both accurate and high-precision geopositioning. Chapter 2 gives an overview of GNSS constellations and signals, highlighting important characteristics. Chapter 3 then introduces reference systems in geodesy, covering such topics as time systems, geodetic datums, coordinate systems, coordinate conversions and transformations, and International Terrestrial Reference Frame. Th is lays the framework for the rest of the book. Chapters 4 and 5 dig deep into mathematical formulation of GNSS parameter estimation and observation models. All the concepts are presented clearly and concisely, with diagrams to assist reader comprehension. Chapter 6 describes Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) networks and their role in geodesy and definition of reference frames. Various global and regional CORS networks are presented in this section. Th e chapter also covers GNSS data and common formats such as RINEX and RTCM. Chapter 7 introduces the whole cycle of GNSS data processing, including preprocessing, ambiguity fixing, and solution reprocessing methods as commonly used in both epoch solutions and time series data. Th e book concludes with appendices on orbit modelling, GNSS linear combinations, application examples, and an example linear model.
