In the seven years since the publication of the first edition of
Sustainable Practices in Geoenvironmental Engineering, the
combination of population growth and increased exploitation of
renewable and non-renewable natural resources has added increased
stresses on the quality and health of the geoenvironment. This is
especially true when viewed in the context of the growing demand
for food and shelter, energy and mineral resources, and their
resultant effects on the natural capital of the geoenvironment.
Completely revised and updated, this second edition of a bestseller
introduces and discusses the concept of "stressors" and their
impacts on the geoenvironment. See What's New in the Second
Edition: Clear definition of the geoenvironment New tools and
remediation technologies, new management methods for geohazards,
and enhanced coverage of social and economic sustainability
Innovative approaches and techniques for reaching geoenvironmental
sustainability More detail on treatment technologies, both in situ
and ex situ Discussion on the mitigation of geodisasters Additional
sections to discuss sustainability assessment protocols Updated
information on models for prediction of contaminant behavior The
authors explore the technologies that take into account targets,
exposure routes (if applicable), future land use, acceptable risks,
legislation, and resultant emissions/discharges in establishing the
criteria and tools for evaluating technologies and protocols for
environmental management of the impacted land. They then discuss
how to choose the correct ones to use in different situations to
protect the quality and health of natural resource and capital of
the geoenvironment and ensure that these geoenvironmental natural
resources and capital remain available for future generations and
to develop innovative and sustainable techniques to make land more
stable and safer.
