    Making Sustainability Measurable : A Practical Book for Sustainable Living and Working (2023)
    Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :
    Details
    Keywords: Sustainability. ; Environmental policy. ; Environmental education. ; Sociology. ; Sustainability. ; Environmental Policy. ; Environmental and Sustainability Education. ; Sociology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Definition of sustainability - my version -- A picture is worth a thousand words -- Adapting to climate change and its consequences requires sustainability -- Changing consumer behaviour leads to sustainability -- Finding ways to the best sustainability strategy -- The challenge of sustainability management -- Cooperatives - actors of sustainable development -- Life cycle assessment and carbon footprint - two sides of the same coin? -- Sustainability report - compulsory or freestyle? -- Make your dream come true as a sustainability manager -- The key to your success as a sustainability manager -- At the right place at the right time -- Sustainability - the future is waiting for you.
    Abstract: Making something measurable means being able to control it. The book not only provides the interested layperson with a comprehensive overview of the central aspects of sustainability management, it also offers practitioners important decision-making aids and tips for implementation. The easy-to-understand style conveys all the essential contents of the topic of sustainability even to newcomers. Whether you have previous knowledge or not - with the many immediately implementable "best practices", the book offers a lot of practical application possibilities. The appendices contain unrestricted tools from the author's practice for the introduction of successful sustainability management. The author Michael Wühle is an experienced engineer and entrepreneur. In his professional career, he has successfully implemented many large technical projects until he came into contact with the topics of environment, climate and sustainability. Since then, Michael Wühle has made sustainability management his professional focus. As a freelancer, he supports companies and municipalities in the introduction and implementation of sustainability projects. He likes to share his knowledge in the field of sustainability via seminars, workshops and publications. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

    Glaciology and Glacial Geomorphology (2022)
    Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :
    Details
    Keywords: Geology. ; Physical geography. ; Environment. ; Climatology. ; Geology. ; Physical Geography. ; Environmental Sciences. ; Climate Sciences.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction and history of research -- Formation of glaciers -- Ice movement. Mass and energy balance of glaciers -- Glacier types and distribution -- Glaciers and climate -- Glaciers and water. and distribution -- Glaciers and climate -- Glaciers and water -- Glacier history -- Glacial hazards -- Glacial erosion -- Glacial accumulation. Accumulation -- Glossary.
    Abstract: Why can rigid ice move? How do you measure glacier recession? When was the Little Ice Age? This textbook covers all important aspects of mountain glaciers, from their formation and their importance as water reservoirs to the threat posed by current global warming. Glaciers themselves can also pose a threat to humans and represent a natural hazard in populated mountain areas in the form of ice avalanches and glacial lake outbursts. In addition, however, they are also important landscape formers and have helped to shape large parts of the present-day relief of the Earth, which is one of the classic fields of work of geomorphology and geology. In the individual chapters, the current state of research is presented in a comprehensible manner and illustrated with concise examples, photos and graphics. The book offers a compact introduction for all students of geosciences, curious mountaineers and laymen interested in nature. About the author Wilfried Hagg holds a degree in geography and did his doctorate on the hydrological consequences of glacier retreat in Central Asia. As part of his habilitation and as a Heisenberg Fellow of the German Research Foundation, he has also worked on the nearby mountain glaciers of the Alps and participated in expeditions to mountains in the former Soviet Union, China and New Zealand, as well as to the ice-covered volcanoes of Iceland. Through his university teaching, Wilfried Hagg has experience in imparting geographical knowledge, particularly in the areas of high mountains, glaciology and natural hazards. He currently teaches geography and geology at the Department of Geoinformatics at Munich University of Applied Sciences. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

    Marine Oil and Gas Exploration in China (2020)
    Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :
    Details
    Keywords: Geology. ; Sedimentology. ; Oceanography. ; Cogeneration of electric power and heat. ; Fossil fuels. ; Geology. ; Sedimentology. ; Ocean Sciences. ; Fossil Fuel.
    Description / Table of Contents: Regional tectonic setting and prototype basin evolution -- Characteristics and evolution of Lithofacies Paleogeography -- Major source rocks and distribution -- Reservoir type and origin -- Regional cap rock and hydrocarbon preservation -- Reservoir type and spatial distribution.
    Abstract: This book systematically introduces the petroleum geological characteristics and exploration theory of marine strata in China. On the basis of four major basins, 14 typical cases have been studied in which 13 cases are from conventional oil and gas fields and 1 case is from shale gas field, along with their hydrocarbon generation, migration, accumulation, and distribution characteristics. The book provides a reference for geologists around the globe to understand the exploration history, methods and advances in marine strata oil and gas exploration in China.

    Environmental Pollution of the Pearl River Estuary, China : Status and Impact of Contaminants in a Rapidly Developing Region (2020)
    Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :
    Details
    Keywords: Freshwater ecology. ; Marine ecology. ; Environmental chemistry. ; Environment. ; Environmental monitoring. ; Freshwater and Marine Ecology. ; Environmental Chemistry. ; Environmental Sciences. ; Environmental Monitoring.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Physical Geography -- Pollution in the Pearl River Estuary -- Trace Metals in the Water Column and Sediments -- Trace Metals in Pearl River Estuary Organisms -- Trace Metal Contamination of Seafood from the Pearl River Estuary -- Trace Metals and Ecotoxicological Effects in the Pearl River Estuary -- Future needs.
    Abstract: The Pearl River Estuary (PRE) is the Western name for a very large estuary in southern China that is currently home to an industrial metropolis of staggering size, and one that is rapidly evolving. The Chinese name for the Pearl River is Zhujiang. Guangzhou lies at the head of the estuary, and Macau and Hong Kong are on the western and eastern sides, respectively, of the wide opening of the estuary to the South China Sea. The new cities of Zhuhai and Shenzhen lie immediately north of Macau and Hong Kong, respectively. The recent establishment of the Greater Bay Area (GBA), which covers the majority of the Pearl River Delta area, with a total population of over 70 million, will certainly put the PRE under strict environmental scrutiny. The PRE system itself will provide a model system for environmental scientists owing to its major anthropogenic perturbation and influences, as well as the highly dynamic nature of the estuary. This book addresses the major environmental concerns regarding this estuary, contaminants and other pollutants, e.g. toxic metals, organic contaminants and emerging compounds. Questions addressed here include: What are the sources of the contaminants? What have the environmental consequences of these contaminants been for the estuary? What will the future bring? The research presented here on the Pearl River Estuary offers a wealth of insights for other major contaminated estuaries around the world.
