Green Stormwater Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban and Rural Development
“Green Stormwater Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban and Rural Development” offers some of the latest international scientific and practitioner findings around the adaptation of urban, rural and transportation infrastructures to climate change by sustainable water management. This book addresses the main gaps in the up-to-date literature and provides the reader with a holistic view, ranging from a strategic and multiscale planning, implementation and decision-making angle down to the engineering details for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of green stormwater techniques such as sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and stormwater control measures (SCMs). This book is p...
Sustainable Management of Urban Water Resources
It is well known that 55% of the world’s population currently lives in urban areas, and this figure is predicted to grow to 68% by 2050, adding more than 2.5 billion people to urban populations. It is also projected that there will be 43 megacities worldwide by 2030, with populations of more than 10 million inhabitants. The United Nations World Water Development Report, 2018, warned that by 2030, the global demand for fresh water is likely to exceed supply by 40%. Added to population growth, climate change has the potential to lead to changes in rainfall regimes, with the potential of increased flooding and drought. Currently, 1.2 billion people are at risk from flooding, but this is predi...
Urban Engineering for Sustainability
A textbook that introduces integrated, sustainable design of urban infrastructures, drawing on civil engineering, environmental engineering, urban planning, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. This textbook introduces urban infrastructure from an engineering perspective, with an emphasis on sustainability. Bringing together both fundamental principles and practical knowledge from civil engineering, environmental engineering, urban planning, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science, the book transcends disciplinary boundaries by viewing urban infrastructures as integrated networks. The text devotes a chapter to each of five enginee...
Sustainable Surface Water Management
Sustainable Surface Water Management: a handbook for SUDS addresses issues as diverse as flooding, water quality, amenity and biodiversity but also mitigation of, and adaptation to, global climate change, human health benefits and reduction in energy use. Chapters are included to cover issues from around the world, but they also address particular designs associated with the implementation of SUDS in tropical areas, problems with retrofitting SUDS devices, SUDS modelling, water harvesting in drought-stricken countries using SUDS and the inclusion of SUDS in the climate change strategies of such cities as Tokyo, New York and Strasbourg.
Geothermal Heat Pump Systems
This book presents an overview of geothermal heating systems using ground source heat pumps in different countries. It evaluates the emissions and energy costs generated by the operation of low enthalpy geothermal systems, with heat pumps fed by different energy sources, and assesses, from an international point of view, those policies whose aim is a sustainable, low-carbon economy. The use of low-impact energy sources is gradually growing with the aim of reducing greenhouse gases emission and air pollution. The alternatives offered by geothermal systems are one of the key solutions for a future renewable development, enabling the electrification of heating systems and the use of biofuels. The book will be of interest to energy professionals and researchers.
Sustainable Water Engineering
Sustainable Water Engineering introduces the latest thinking from academic, stakeholder and practitioner perspectives who address challenges around flooding, water quality issues, water supply, environmental quality and the future for sustainable water engineering. In addition, the book addresses historical legacies, strategies at multiple scales, governance and policy. Offers well-structured content that is strategic in its approach Covers up-to-date issues and examples from both developed and developing nations Include the latest research in the field that is ideal for undergraduates and post-graduate researchers Presents real world applications, showing how engineers, environmental consultancies and international institutions can use the concepts and strategies
Annual International Congress of Doctoral Students 2023
El manuscrito que se presenta corresponde al libro de resúmenes de las comunicaciones presentadas al segundo congreso internacional anual de estudiantes de doctorado de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche. Dicho congreso se celebró de manera telemática los días 2 y 3 de febrero de 2023. El Congreso estuvo organizado por un comité formado por estudiantes de doctorado de nuestra Universidad en estrecha colaboración con el Vicerrectorado de investigación.
Actas del I Congreso Anual de Estudiantes de Doctorado de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche (CAED)
La primera edición del Congreso Anual de Estudiantes de Doctorado con carácter Internacional de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche ha sido un gran reto para el comité organizador del mismo, conformado por 11 estudiantes de doctorado que voluntariamente han prestado su tiempo para crear este lugar de encuentro entre doctorandos. Nos sentimos gratamente sorprendidos y orgullosos de la difusión que ha tenido el I CAED, además de la gran acogida por parte del estudiantado, puesto que se han registrado más de 1600 inscripciones, además de unas 800 contribuciones tanto en formato oral como póster. El comité organizador quiere expresar su agradecimiento al Vicerrectorado de Investig...
Solemne sesión académica de investidura como Doctor Honoris Causa de Sir John Elliott y festividad de Santo Tomás de Aquino
La presente obra constituye la plasmación por escrito de la Solemne Sesión Académica de Investidura como Doctor Honoris Causa del Profesor Sir John Elliott. Se inicia la publicación con la Laudatio realizada por el Profesor Doctor Don José Ignacio Fortea Pérez, seguida por el discurso de investidura que pronuncia el recién investido Doctor. A continuación se procede a la investidura de los nuevos Doctores por la UC y entrega de los premios Fin de Carrera, Extraordinarios de Doctorado, Literarios del Consejo Social y Sexto Premio Isabel Torres a Investigaciones en Estudios de las mujeres y del género. Tras esto, se entregan, a diferentes miembros de la comunidad universitaria, las distinciones a los servicios prestados y las Medallas de Plata. Finaliza el acto con el discurso del Rector de la Universidad de Cantabria.
