Green Energy - Technology, Economics and Policy (Hardcover): U. Aswathanarayana, Tulsidas Harikrishnan, Thayyib S. Kadher Mohien Green Energy - Technology, Economics and Policy (Hardcover)
U. Aswathanarayana, Tulsidas Harikrishnan, Thayyib S. Kadher Mohien
R3,416 Discovery Miles 34 160 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Renewable fuels, such as wind, solar, biomass, tides, and geothermal, are inexhaustible, indigenous, and often free. However, capturing them and transforming them into electricity, hydrogen, or clean transporation fuels often is not. Green Energy: Technology, Economics, and Policy addresses how to approach and apply technology, economics, and policy to bring down the costs involved with renewables, the most important challenge faced in the green era. Intended for students and professionals in resources, energy and environmental engineering and in economic fields focusing on green energy.
It explores the ways and means of using technology, economics, and policy to address R & D issues, market penetration, improved efficiency, investment capital, policy changes, and more. It elucidates Green New Deal models in which the twin objectives of job generation and mitigation of climate change impacts are achieved through the harnessing of the transformative power of technology. The book links energy science and technology with energy economics, markets, policy, and planning. It describes how this can be accomplished through public ? private partnership in the prosecution of Innovation Chain (Basic Research - Applied Research & Development - Demonstration - Deployment - Commercialization).

The Indian Ocean Tsunami (Paperback): Tad S. Murty, U. Aswathanarayana, Niru Nirupama The Indian Ocean Tsunami (Paperback)
Tad S. Murty, U. Aswathanarayana, Niru Nirupama
R3,010 Discovery Miles 30 100 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004 is considered to have been one of the worst natural disasters in history, affecting twelve countries, from Indonesia to Somalia. 175,000 people are believed to have lost their lives, almost 50,000 were registered as missing and 1.7 million people were displaced. As well as this horrendous toll on human life, the tsunami destroyed property worth billions of dollars and ruined many local economies. Based on their experience and analysis of this tsunami, the authors have developed methodologies for predicting and preparing for tsunamis. A basis is provided for a cost-effective warning and preparedness strategy, drawing on the example of existing systems used in earthquake disaster management and tidal wave warning, from genesis to impact. The book comprehensively addresses the fundamentals of tsunami science, identifying potential areas where tsunamis might be generated, predicting the anticipated course of tsunamis and considering how the geophysical, ecological and socioeconomic location of a community may determine the severity of tsunami damage. The authors suggest how precursors can be used to enhance the advance warning time, how tsunamis can be detected at the time of their occurrence, and the manner in which warnings should be communicated to the populations likely to be affected. Finally, improvement in eco-sociological resilience through the application of dual-use technologies is identified as a pivotal aid in allowing coastal communities to be better prepared. The book will be of interest to a global audience of professionals and academics active in seismology, ocean science, meteorology, coastal management, earthquake engineering and disaster management.

Advances in Water Science Methodologies (Hardcover): U. Aswathanarayana Advances in Water Science Methodologies (Hardcover)
U. Aswathanarayana
R4,451 Discovery Miles 44 510 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Advances in Water Science Methodologies addresses ways and means of using remote sensing data to elucidate the interactions between the atmospheric, oceanic and hydrological processes. Various water-related applications, such as water resources management, environmental monitoring, climate prediction, agriculture, preparation for and mitigation of extreme weather events, are characterized by widely varying requirements of spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions of the remotely sensed data. This book is composed with great care to deal with the appropriate data assimilation methodologies and technology transfer practices, to cover different dimensions of the subject area and to identify potential growth areas of remote sensing applications. By linking with cognate subjects, such as data management and geomorphology, and with the support of two case histories of water resource management, dealing with water harvesting and water pollution, a fuller picture of the subject area is provided. The book is intended for university students and professionals in the area of remote sensing, water sciences and technologies, earth and environmental sciences and related areas.

Natural Resources - Technology, Economics & Policy (Hardcover, New): U. Aswathanarayana Natural Resources - Technology, Economics & Policy (Hardcover, New)
U. Aswathanarayana
R4,634 Discovery Miles 46 340 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Natural resources management has two principal dimensions:

  • Science-illuminated (earth, space, hydrological, pedological, information, etc. sciences) management of local resources (waters, soils, bioresources, minerals, rocks, sediments, etc.) in an ecologically-sustainable manner, and
  • Value-addition through processing of natural products, through the application of technology is most marked in the case of some mineral products.

The wellness of a community is dependent upon the security of food, water, environment and energy. Such a security is best realised through science-illuminated (earth, space, hydrological, pedological, information) management of local resources (waters, soils, bioresources, minerals, rocks, sediments, etc.) in an ecologically-sustainable and people-participatory manner, plus value-addition through processing of natural products. Moreover, the addition of value may increase a community s wealth by advanced technologies, trading, exchange of knowledge, etc. Moreover, activities, employment and many other things come along with the availability of natural resources, which will require and affect policy.

This volume provides guidelines for the implementation of technological, economical and policy advances in dealing with various aspects of natural resources. It is intended for researchers, professionals and students in environmental and earth sciences, mining, geography, sociology, economics and for policy makers and investors searching for potential in the natural resources industry. Ideal for consultation in combination with the editor's related publications Green Energy: Technology, Economics and Policy, Energy Portfolios and Food and Water Security.
