Sustainable Practices in Geoenvironmental Engineering

About this book

This third edition focuses on the application of geoenvironmental engineering procedures and practices to mitigate and reduce the adverse impacts on the geoenvironment from anthropogenic sources including emerging contaminants such as micro and nanoplastics, pharmaceuticals, and fire retarding chemicals. Thoroughly updated with three new chapters and extensive use of case studies to showcase examples of sustainable practices, this new edition discusses many activities that are still generating geoenvironmental impacts that are adverse to the quality and health of the geoenvironment. It includes new tools and procedures that have been developed to evaluate and minimize adverse impacts.

This new edition:

  • Discusses the impacts of climate change and potential mitigation.
  • Addresses emerging contaminants of concern.
  • Introduces an entirely new chapter on sustainable nitrogen and carbon cycles.
  • Includes new case studies like the Fukushima case study on sediments and microbial induced precipitation processes.
  • Provides new practices and tools for sustainability to evaluate and to minimize adverse impacts
  • Discusses the aspects of social sustainability and cultural aspects of the geoenvironment.

This book is intended for professionals, researchers, academics, senior undergraduate students, and graduate students in geotechnical engineering, geoenvironmental engineering, site remediation, sustainable development, and earth sciences.
