Future of CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage Projects
This book presents a summary of a three-year research project on risk management for the Capture, Transport and Storage of CO2 (CTSC), offering an in-depth study on complex sociotechnical systems and systemic modeling. Approaching CTSC as a complex sociotechnical system, this book proposes systemic modeling as a decision-making aid. It offers a means of decision-making for the development of CTSC projects in the real-world context, where the future of the technology is uncertain. Risk management is considered as a means of control that can provide a control structure for the whole system. The risks associated with CTSC are not exclusively technical in nature; CTSC also faces a number of further uncertainties, from development to commercial scales. A major question concerning CTSC at the current scale of development is: "What are the factors explaining the success or failure of CTSC projects in different contexts?" In order to answer this question, the book proposes a systemic risk management framework based on the system dynamics and STAMP (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes) concepts.

Safety Dynamics
This book describes a systematic approach to risk assessment for complex socio-technical systems like industrial processes, especially innovative ones. It provides an overview of applications of system dynamics theory and methodologies on industrial systems in order to demonstrate the relevance of such an approach in helping to assess risks in such complex systems. An important feature of this approach is that it takes into account the dynamic of the interactions of the components (technical, human and organizational ones) in order to study and simulate the behavior of the system. This methodology helps to define the failures and/or accident scenarios and to implement and test the prevention and protection barriers. This book is of particular interest to students and teachers at university level (Master and Doctorate) and to engineers interested in risk analysis and management.
Contemporary Megaprojects
Contemporary megaprojects have evolved from the discreet, modernist projects undertaken in the past by centralized authorities to encompass everything from large-scale construction to space exploration. Contemporary Megaprojects explores how these projects have been impacted by cutting-edge technology, the private sector, and the processes of decentralization and dematerialization. With case studies ranging from mega-plantations in Southeast Asia to ocean mapping to sports events, the contributions in this collected volume demonstrate the increasing ambition and pervasiveness of these projects, as well as their significant impact on both society and the environment.
Diskurse des Climate Engineering
Climate Engineering steht für großskalige, technologische Vorhaben, die zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels in das Erdsystem eingreifen sollen. In Großbritannien und Deutschland hat dies zu kontroversen öffentlichen Debatten zwischen Gegnern und Befürwortern der vorgeschlagenen Technologien geführt. Stephanie Uther zeigt anhand einer argumentativen Analyse der Diskursebenen Medien, Politik und Wissenschaft, welche Rechtfertigungs- und Legitimationsangebote von Akteuren vorgebracht werden und wie diese in konkreten forschungspolitischen Maßnahmen „handlungswirksam“ geworden sind. Dabei deckt der Vergleich der britischen und deutschen Diskursprofile signifikante Unterschiede auf, die nicht nur die Testung und Einsatzbereitschaft spezifischer Technologien in Großbritannien wahrscheinlicher erscheinen lassen, sondern zukünftig auch folgenreich für die weitere Ausgestaltung (inter-)nationaler Klimaschutzpolitiken sein werden.
