Research Opportunities for Managing the Department of Energy's Transuranic and Mixed Wastes
About 155,000 cubic meters of waste contaminated with both radioactive isotopes and hazardous chemicals are stored at some 30 DOE sites, and another 450,000 cubic meters are buried. While DOE is making a concerted effort to properly dispose of this waste, the amount translates to a multi-decade effort that will require handling, characterizing, and shipping hundreds of thousands of waste containers at a total cost of billions of dollars. This report describes basic scientific research that can lead to new technologies for performing these tasks more safely and cost effectively.
Environmental Chemistry
With clear explanations, real-world examples and updated ancillary material, the 11th edition of Environmental Chemistry emphasizes the concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology and chemistry. The format and organization popular in preceding editions is used, including an approach based upon the five environmental spheres and the relationship of environmental chemistry to the key concepts of sustainability, industrial ecology and green chemistry. The new edition provides a comprehensive view of key environmental issues, and significantly looks at diseases and pandemics as an environmental problem influenced by other environmental concerns like climate change. Fe...
The Power of Nature
In The Power of Nature archaeologists address the force and impact of nature relative to human knowledge, action, and volition. Case studies from around the world focusing on different levels of sociopolitical complexity—ranging from early agricultural societies to states and empires—address the ways in which nature retains the upper hand in human agentive environmental discourse, providing an opportunity for an insightful perspective on the current anthropological emphasis on how humans affect the environment. Climatic events, pathogens, and animals as nonhuman agents, ranging in size from viruses to mega-storms, have presented our species with dynamic conditions that overwhelm human ca...
Environmental Science and Technology
Formally established by the EPA nearly 15 years ago, the concept of green chemistry is beginning to come of age. Although several books cover green chemistry and chemical engineering, none of them transfer green principles to science and technology in general and their impact on the future. Defining industrial ecology, Environmental Science and Technology: A Sustainable Approach to Green Science and Technology provides a general overview of green science and technology and their essential role in ensuring environmental sustainability. Written by a leading expert, the book provides the essential background for understanding green science and technology and how they relate to sustainability. I...
Earth's Natural Thermostat: The Role of the Carbon-Silicate Cycle in Climate Stability
Discover how Earth's natural thermostat, the carbon-silicate cycle, regulates climate stability over millions of years in "Earth's Natural Thermostat: The Role of the Carbon-Silicate Cycle in Climate Stability." This comprehensive book explores the geochemical processes behind the carbon-silicate cycle, its critical role in controlling atmospheric CO₂ levels, and its impact on long-term climate regulation. Dive deep into how weathering, volcanic activity, and ocean chemistry interact to keep Earth's climate in balance. Perfect for readers interested in climate science, geology, and the Earth's natural mechanisms for managing global temperatures, this book provides an accessible yet detailed analysis of one of the most crucial processes in Earth's history. Whether you're a student, environmentalist, or curious mind, gain invaluable insights into how the carbon-silicate cycle influences climate change and Earth's resilience to CO₂ fluctuations. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Earth's climate system.
Environmental Chemistry, Eighth Edition
Environmental Chemistry, Eighth Edition builds on the same organizational structure validated in previous editions tosystematically develop the principles, tools, and techniques of environmental chemistry to provide students and professionals with a clear understanding of the science and its applications. Revised and updated since the publication of the best-selling Seventh Edition, this text continues to emphasize the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology, and chemistry while introducing the newest innovations to the field. The author provides clear explanations to important concepts such as the anthrosphere, industrial ecosystems, geochemistry, aquat...
Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry, Third Edition
This text expands its scope to explore the emerging area that is described as sustainability science and technology, which includes green chemistry and industrial ecology. It is designed for those who have little or no knowledge of chemistry, but who need the basics of chemical science for their course of study or profession.
Geochemistry
Written expressly for undergraduate and graduate geologists, this book focuses on how geochemical principles can be used to solve practical problems. The attention to problem-solving reflects the authors'belief that showing how theory is useful in solving real-life problems is vital for learning. The book gives students a thorough grasp of the basic principles of the subject, balancing the traditional equilibrium perspective and the kinetic viewpoint. The first half of the book considers processes in which temperature and pressure are nearly constant. After introductions to the laws of thermodynamics, to fundamental equations for flow and diffusion, and to solution chemistry, these principle...
