It also discusses their structure and diversity in the context of sustainability and discusses restoration options for surrounding landscapes, under consideration of the circumstances of the land and the needs of surrounding communities. The intended readership includes natural resource professionals in general as well as forestry professionals in particular (practitioners, policymakers, educators and researchers). The book will provide the reader with a good foundation for understanding Ethiopian forest resources and restoration options of degraded landscape.

    Alexander von Humboldt : Multiperspective Approaches (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Human geography. ; Environment. ; Physical geography. ; Earth sciences. ; Human Geography. ; Environmental Sciences. ; Earth System Sciences. ; Earth Sciences.
    Description / Table of Contents: Part 1: Humboldt’s integrative scientific approach: Pioneering modern Earth system sciences -- “Through a country we never intended to see”. Revisiting The Humboldt renaissance -- Alexander Von Humboldt and earth system science -- Part 2: Humboldt’s influence on bio-geo-sciences -- Humboldt, biogeography, and the dimension of time -- Revisiting the Chimborazo Volcano – Cradle of plant geography -- Part 3: Humboldt, the Earth scientist -- Humboldt's interpretation of the Andean geology -- Part 4: Humboldt, his relevance for contemporary education strategies and the political discourse -- “Should Alexander Von Humboldt be part of contemporary geography education?” -- Alexander Von Humboldt, a liberal ecologist. An essay -- Part 5: Humboldt: Empathic patron, consultant and communicator of science -- The Humboldt paradox: Science communication and mythology -- Indigenous knowledge – Humboldt´S idea of intercultural understanding -- Humboldt’s journey to Russia and Siberia in 1829 – His dual role as consultant and explorer -- Part 6: An epilogue -- Alexander Von Humboldt: Dilletante of natural history or Oracle of modern science?.
    Abstract: This book aims to view and to understand Alexander von Humboldt from different perspectives and in varying disciplinary contexts. His contributions addressed numerous topics in the earth but also life sciences—spanning from geo-botany, climatology, paleontology, oceanography, mineralogy, resources, and hydrogeology to links between the environmental impact of humans, erosion, and climate change. From the very beginning, he paved the way for a modern, integrated earth system science approach to decipher, characterize, and model the different forcing factors and their feedback mechanisms. It becomes obvious that Humboldt’s holistic approach is far beyond simple description and empiric data collection. As documented and analyzed in the different texts of this volume, he combines observation and analysis with emotions and subjective perceptions in a very affectionate way. However, this publication does not intend to add another encyclopedic text compilation but to observe and critically analyze this unique personality´s relevance in a modern context, particularly in discussing environmental and social key issues in the twenty-first century.

    Shallow Geothermal Energy : Theory and Application (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geology. ; Geophysics. ; Geotechnical engineering. ; Geology. ; Geophysics. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Theoretical background -- Underground thermal regime -- Geothermal heat pump -- Shallow geothermal systems with closed loop geothermal heat exchangers.
    Abstract: This book is the outcome of more than a decade of research and technical development activities at Spain’s Geological Survey (IGME) concerning shallow geothermal energy, which were pursued in collaboration with other public bodies and European entities. It presents a compilation of papers on the theoretical foundations of, and practical aspects needed to understand the thermal regime of the topmost subsoil, up to 400 m deep, and the exceptional properties that this underground environment offers, which make it the ideal thermal reservoir for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). In the book’s first section, the basic theory of thermodynamics as applied to shallow geothermal energy, heat transfer and fluid mechanics in the geological porous medium is developed. The nature of the subsoil’s thermal regime in general and in the urban environment in particular is described. The second section introduces readers to the fundamental aspects of thermal installations equipped with geothermal heat pumps, describes the types of geothermal exchangers most commonly used, and reviews the techniques used to obtain the thermal parameters of the terrain. It also discusses the potential environmental impacts of shallow geothermal activity and corresponding management strategies, as well as the legal aspects of its regulation for the governance of shallow geothermal resources in the EU in general and Spain in particular. In closing, the book highlights examples of the methodologies’ applications, developed by IGME in the city of Zaragoza and the Canary Islands. The theoretical foundations, systematics and concrete applications make the book a valuable reference source for hydrogeologists, engineers and specialized technicians alike.

    Recarbonization of the biosphere : ecosystems and the global carbon cycle ; [The workshop entitled "Recarbonization of the Biosphere" was held at the IASS Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies Potsdam from 20 to 22 March 2011] (2012)

    Description / Table of Contents: Human activities are significantly modifying the natural global carbon (C) cycles, and concomitantly influence climate, ecosystems, and state and function of the Earth system. Ever increasing amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) are added to the atmosphere by fossil fuel combustion but the biosphere is a potential C sink. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of C cycling in the biosphere is crucial for identifying and managing biospheric C sinks. Ecosystems with large C stocks which must be protected and sustainably managed are wetlands, peatlands, tropical rainforests, tropical savannas, grasslands, degraded/desertified lands, agricultural lands, and urban lands. However, land-based sinks require long-term management and a protection strategy because C stocks grow with a progressive improvement in ecosystem health.
