Earth scientists and geotechnical engineers are increasingly
challenged to solve environmental problems related to waste
disposal facilities and cleanup of contaminated sites. The effort
has given rise to a new discipline of specialists in the field of
environmental geotechnology. To be effective, environmental
geotechnologists must not only be armed with the traditional
knowledge of fields such as geology and civil engineering, but also
be knowledgeable of principles of hydrogeology, chemistry, and
biological processes. In addition, the environmental
geotechnologist must be completely up to date on the often complex
cadre of local and national regulations, must comprehend the often
complex legal issues and sometimes mind-boggling financial impli
cations of a project, and must be able to communicate effectively
with a host of other technical specialists, regulatory officials,
attorneys, local land owners, journalists, and others. The field of
environmental geo technology will no doubt continue to offer unique
challenges. The purpose of this book is to summarize the current
state of practice in the field of environmental geotechnology. Part
One covers broadly applicable principles such as hydrogeology,
geochemistry, and con taminant transport in soil and rock. Part Two
describes in detail the underlying principles for design and
construction of new waste disposal facilities. Part Three covers
techniques for site remediation. Finally, Part Four addresses the
methodologies for monitoring. The topics of 'waste disposal' and
'site remediation' are extra ordinarily broad."
Privacy Risk Analysis fills a gap in the existing literature by
providing an introduction to the basic notions, requirements, and
main steps of conducting a privacy risk analysis. The deployment of
new information technologies can lead to significant privacy risks
and a privacy impact assessment should be conducted before
designing a product or system that processes personal data.
However, if existing privacy impact assessment frameworks and
guidelines provide a good deal of details on organizational aspects
(including budget allocation, resource allocation, stakeholder
consultation, etc.), they are much vaguer on the technical part, in
particular on the actual risk assessment task. For privacy impact
assessments to keep up their promises and really play a decisive
role in enhancing privacy protection, they should be more precise
with regard to these technical aspects. This book is an excellent
resource for anyone developing and/or currently running a risk
analysis as it defines the notions of personal data, stakeholders,
risk sources, feared events, and privacy harms all while showing
how these notions are used in the risk analysis process. It
includes a running smart grids example to illustrate all the
notions discussed in the book.
