Fundamentals of Geoenvironmental Engineering (eBook, ePUB)

Understanding Soil, Water, and Pollutant Interaction and Transport

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Fundamentals of Geoenvironmental Engineering: Understanding Soil, Water, and Pollutant Interaction and Transport examines soil-water-pollutant interaction, including physico-chemical processes that occur when soil is exposed to various contaminants. Soil characteristics relevant to remedial techniques are explored, providing foundations for the correct process selection. Built upon the authors' extensive experience in research and practice, the book updates and expands the content to include current processes and pollutants. The book discusses propagation of soil pollution and soil characteristics relevant to remedial techniques. Practicing geotechnical and environmental engineers can apply the theory and case studies in the book directly to current projects.

The book first discusses the stages of economic development and their connections to the sustainability of the environment. Subsequent chapters cover waste and its management, soil systems, soil-water and soil-pollutant interactions, subsurface transport of pollutants, role of groundwater, nano-, micro- and biologic pollutants, soil characteristics that impact pollution diffusion, and potential remediation processes like mechanical, electric, magnetic, hydraulic and dielectric permittivity of soils.

• Presents a clear understanding of the propagation of pollutants in soils
• Identifies the physico-chemical processes in soils
• Covers emerging pollutants (nano-, micro- and biologic contaminants)
• Features in-depth coverage of hydraulic, electrical, magnetic and dielectric permittivity characteristics of soils and their impact on remedial technologies

Autorenporträt

Abdel-Mohsen O. Mohamed is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, General Managing Director of EX Scientific Consultants, United Arab Emirates, and a Senior Scientific Advisor at Uberbinder Limited, Oxford, United Kingdom. He is a renowned expert in sustainable materials and geoenvironmental engineering. With decades of research and academic experience, he has contributed significantly to the field of geoengineering, focusing on the development and application of sustainable materials.Prof. Evan K. Paleologos is Professor and Director of the graduate programs in Engineering Management and Project Management, College of Engineering, Abu Dhabi University (ADU), United Arab Emirates (UAE). He holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. from New York University (NYU), NY, and a Ph.D. in Groundwater Hydrology from the University of Arizona, Tucson, Az. His expertise lies in geo-environmental engineering, risk analysis, and in water resources and waste management. He is the author of 5 books on geo-environmental engineering and environmental risk analysis published by Elsevier, McGraw-Hill, and the Geological Society of America (GSA), and of over 140 scientific papers. Recently, one of his papers received the "Environmental Geotechnics Prize 2023 by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). His career includes working for the US high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, NV, being a tenured professor at the University of South Carolina (USC), subsequently at the Technical University of Crete (TUC), Greece, and currently at ADU in the UAE. He has founded two research centers, the USC Center for Water Research and Policy, and the ADU Center of Excellence on Sustainable Built Environment. He is the recipient of numerous awards and honors in USA, which included the South Carolina State's "Researchers of Carolina, and the USC's "Initializer, and "USC President awards. In Greece, concurrently with being a faculty at TUC he had served as Science Advisor to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and as Deputy Chairman of the board of the Athens Water Supply and Sewerage Co (EYDAP). He has been Associate Editor of three international journals.
