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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee What's New in the Second Edition: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eClear definition of the geoenvironment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew tools and remediation technologies, new management methods for geohazards, and enhanced coverage of social and economic sustainability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInnovative approaches and techniques for reaching geoenvironmental sustainability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore detail on treatment technologies, both \u003ci\u003ein situ\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eex situ\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscussion on the mitigation of geodisasters \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdditional sections to discuss sustainability assessment protocols\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdated information on models for prediction of contaminant behavior\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236750975127,"sku":"9781466588462","price":15193.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781466588462.webp?v=1769214272","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sustainable-practices-in-geoenvironmental-engineering-9781466588462","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
