The Flinders Ranges are South Australia's largest mountain range, and is situated approximately 400 km north of Adelaide. The discontinuous ranges stretch for over 430 km from Port Pirie to Lake Callabonna. Its most characteristic landmark is Wilpena Pound, a large, sickle-shaped, natural amphitheatre covering nearly 80 square kilometres, containing the range's and South Australia's highest peak, St Mary Peak (1170m).

Guayabo de Turrialba is an archeological site located in Turrialba, Costa Rica. The site is of great archeolgical and cultural importance even though a very small portion of the city has actually been uncovered and studied. The monument covers 540 acres (218 ha) and is located on the forested southern slope of Turrialba Volcano. The settlement was occupied between 1000 B.C. and A.D. 1400 after which it was mysteriously abandoned. The reason is still unclear and the Spanish Conquistadors and settlers did not leave any record as to whether they found the ruins.The pre-history and significance of the site are still unclear, however it seems to have been inhabited since 1000 BC. Guayabo's development peaked c. 800 AD with approximately 10,000 people living there. Abandoned by 1400 AD, Guayabo is believed to be an important cultural, political and religious center but specific details have yet to be discovered.

Die Acadische Gebirgsbildungsära im Paläozoikum ist die zusammenfassende plattentektonische Bezeichnung einer Reihe von weltweiten, teilweise sich überschneidenden Orogenen bei der Bildung Laurussias, im Vorfeld der Entstehung des letzten globalen Superkontinents Pangaea. Diese Gebirgsbildung wird in drei Abschnitte gegliedert. Die Terminologie und Chronologie ist weitgehend uneinheitlich und selbst für Fachleute verwirrend, da die zugrundeliegende Theorie der Plattentektonik Alfred Wegeners erst seit den 1970er Jahren allgemeine Grundlage der Geologie wurde, die Begriffe oft schlampig verwendet werden, unterschiedliche Schreibweisen, und zum Teil Termini früherer Auffassungen weiterexistieren.

This reprint contains a collection of articles showing how the environmental processes governing the Earth's system can induce the formation of sudden and severe natural phenomena as their most violent expression. Their impact is unevenly distributed over the Earth's surface because of the presence of complex overlapping global or local endogenous and exogenous factors. Climate change and anthropogenic forcing can directly or indirectly exacerbate most of the occurrences at different spatial and temporal scales in the tropospheric area. When such phenomena interact directly with inhabited areas and society, different risk scenarios can develop even for human life itself. The degree of safety in a community is determined by the differential exposure to these events and the level of preparation based on awareness and perception. The social development and uncontrolled (or poorly regulated) spatial growth of human activities via the consumption of soil and natural resources have further contributed to creating vulnerability, increasing the challenges of conscious societies in coping with severe natural processes and their effects. As a whole, all the papers collected here highlight how the protection of territory, in its social and environmental complexity, is ultimately a key element for the pursuit of sustainable development.

Bei der Planung und Realisierung von Projekten für erneuerbare Energien und der entsprechenden Infrastruktur gilt es auf Prozesse und Funktionen von Ökosystemen noch mehr Rücksicht zu nehmen. Dabei dienen Maßnahmen dazu, mögliche negative Umweltauswirkungen zu vermeiden, zu verringern oder zu kompensieren und ein Monitoring garantiert eine entsprechende Überwachung. Dabei stellen sich vor allem folgende Fragen: . Wie können wir Rücksicht auf Natur und Biodiversität bei der Energiewende nehmen? . Welche übergeordneten Ziele gibt es und wie werden diese evidenzbasiert verfolgt? . Welche Maßnahmen existieren und wie lassen sich diese in der Praxis umsetzen? . Wie werden Umweltauswirkungen überwacht? . Welchen Beitrag liefert die aktuelle Forschung?

Recycling is the need of the hour and it is an inevitable destination at the end of the life of any product. Today, recycling can happen at postindustrial and post-consumer states and the importance of recycled products in the market has gained significant importance. Recycled products dominate the array of sustainable products in today's context. Even though there are commercial implications for recycling, one of the very important and obvious reasons to go for recycling and to have recycled products is to have the benefits on environmental sustainability. It is highly important to assess the environmental footprints of recycled products and further improve the environmental benefits of such recycled products. This book presents five interesting chapters pertaining to the environmental footprints of various recycled products.

This book presents a unified approach to the problem of inequality, combining results from a variety of research fields - the human life cycle, group dynamics, networks, markets, and economic geography. Its main message is that inequality emerges as the natural result of mechanisms operating both in individual human development and in social interaction. It posits that inequality is not an anomalous deviation from a naturally egalitarian social structure; quite to the contrary, inequality is to be expected as part of the human condition. The author states that the growth of inequality, on the other hand, is not a natural law - the level and character of inequality can be affected by collective decisions. This perspective on human inequality has potentially far-reaching consequences both for the political philosophy of inequality and for public policy-making.This book is of interest to a wide interdisciplinary social science readership, including public policy, decisionsciences, economic geography, and life course studies.

Oggi la maggiore preoccupazione della società è legata alle questioni ambientali, per sapere come e in che modo possiamo svilupparci e generare ricchezza senza causare un impatto sull'ambiente. Con la crescita e l'espansione dei centri urbani, delle attività industriali ed economiche, le città crescono spesso in modo disordinato, senza pianificare l'uso del suolo, avanzando in aree che dovrebbero essere protette, come corsi d'acqua e sorgenti fluviali, generando nel paesaggio aree vulnerabili dal punto di vista ambientale, dove qualsiasi fattore che condiziona lo squilibrio di tale sistema può causare danni spesso irreversibili. Questo lavoro si propone di identificare e caratterizzare attraverso tecniche di geoprocessing la vulnerabilità ambientale del bacino idrografico del fiume Extrema, e quindi di valutare, modellare spazialmente il bacino idrografico e rappresentarlo cartograficamente mostrando le aree impattate a causa delle azioni antropiche nella regione. Questo studio ha cercato di contribuire con la scienza e la tecnologia a presentare soluzioni efficaci per lo sviluppo di un nuovo modello di analisi ambientale in grado di assistere il processo decisionale, contribuendo a garantire un ambiente ecologicamente equilibrato.

Ein Bergbauprojekt besteht aus drei miteinander verbundenen Faktoren: Exploration, Produktion und Umnutzung.Die Exploration beginnt in der Regel mit der Suche nach interessanten Erkundungsgebieten und der Entnahme von Proben aus geologischen Zonen, die ein interessantes Mineralpotenzial zu haben scheinen. Dies bedeutet, dass eine gute Explorationsstrategie sich zunächst damit befasst, den geologischen Kontext richtig zu verstehen und anhand metallogener Modelle Gebiete anzuvisieren.Die Suche erfolgt mit dem Ziel, sowohl gewöhnliche Metalle als auch Edelmetalle zu entdecken. Vor Beginn der Feldarbeit ist es zwingend erforderlich, bei den staatlichen Stellen eine Genehmigung zu beantragen, um die Vorschriften einzuhalten. Nachdem ein Bergbauvorkommen durch Exploration identifiziert wurde, muss die Industrie vor dem Beginn der Produktion erheblich in die Erschließung der Mine investieren. Weitere Erkundungsarbeiten in der Nähe der Lagerstätte und Entwicklungsbohrungen in der Lagerstätte werden durchgeführt, während der Betrieb läuft. Die Schließung einer Mine ist der letzte große Schritt im Bergbauzyklus.

This book focuses on the rapid development of the social economy which is accompanied by the continuous growth of energy demand, such as in the heavy industry, agriculture sector, and tourism sector. Meanwhile, large-scale energy consumption in the short term has increased the risk to the energy supply and ecological safety. This has contributed to the exploration and exploitation of energy supply risk management, carbon emission reduction, and renewable energy technological innovation, aiming to solve the bottlenecks in energy and environmental economics. Thus, this book aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modelling, and application of all types of energy and environmental economics.

This reprint discusses advancements in forest research using Earth Observation datasets. Forests, which occupy about one-third of the terrestrial surface of Earth, play an indispensable role in monitoring global climate change and ecosystem dynamics. The health of forests has been affected in recent years by various stress factors, such as forest fragmentation and deforestation, biodiversity loss, climate change, invasive species, drought, and unsustainable management. This reprint focuses on the evaluation of different techniques for the retrieval of different biophysical/biochemical parameters using available Earth Observation data. The following topics have been covered in this reprint:Mangrove forest carbon assessment using EO data;Phenological ,etrics of plant species using NDVI time series data;fPAR for diversity relation;Forest/canopy height retrieval using Pol-InSAR modeling;Dominant species discrimination using LiDAR data;Biophysical parameters estimation of young oil palm using UAV;

Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf die Anwendung der Fernerkundung als Arbeitsinstrument. Die Botanik im Zusammenhang mit Böden ist das Thema dieser Studie. Zweitens handelt es sich um eine Aufwertung der Küstenoasen von Gabes, die derzeit zum internationalen Kulturerbe der UNESCO gehören.

Nombreux sont ceux qui ont tenté d'écrire, en toutes langues, qui une histoire de la Chine, qui un abrégé de celle du Japon. Tel s'est intéressé à la Turquie ; tel autre à l'Iran ; tel autre encore à l'Inde. Mais très rares les écrivains qui ont eu la témérité ou l'audace de brosser, de la préhistoire à l'heure actuelle, le raccourci d'un continent. Ici apparaît l'originalité du regretté René Grousset, dont l'ouvrage posthume, La Face de l'Asie, est « l'admirable relation d'un voyage dans le temps et l'espace asiatique ». Le commentateur en ces termes du manuscrit inachevé ¿ M. George Deniker ¿ a dû écrire deux chapitres (plutôt deux parties) : « la Chine, terre de culture et objet de convoitises » ; « le Japon, le Pacifique et l'Extrême- Orient ». Ce qui représente exactement la moitié du livre dont Grousset laissait les feuillets consacrés au « génie sémitique » ; aux « valeurs turques » ; à « l'Iran et son rôle historique » ; à « l'Inde de toujours et d'aujourd'hui ». Lourde tâche que celle de M. Deniker, mais qu'il a assumée avec honneur. Il est vrai qu'il y était préparé par un long séjour à Pékin en qualité d'interprète à la Légation de France.Ce qui frappe dans la quête de Grousset, c'est sa curiosité énorme, servie par un esprit clair ; sa facilité à reconstituer des ensembles, à découvrir, entre les peuples, interférences, incidences, correspondances ; son libéralisme ; son idéalisme ; son goût de la grandeur ; sa tristesse lucide, avec un arrière-goût d'Ecclésiaste. Les lecteurs s'arrêteront plus volontiers aux considérations actuelles. En veulent-ils quelques exemples ? Révolte récente de l'Iran contre l'Angleterre : « Dans sa révolte contre Y Anglo-Iranian, la Perse bénéficiait de nouveau de sa situation d'empire du milieu. » Où l'on voit restituer à l'Iran le rôle qu'il a joué souvent, de la Syrie au Pamir. Grousset se plaît à découvrir les articulations du corps asiatique dans l'espace et la durée ; à décrire l'apparition, la disparition et la surrection des Empires. Il nous verse, dans ce survol des civilisations, un breuvage d'Asie qui grise ou donne un peu le vertige. Sa tristesse nous point : « N'est-ce pas une des lois de l'histoire que l'épanouissement littéraire et artistique d'un pays soit loin de nécessairement coïncider avec les périodes de stabilité et de grandeur politiques ? » Cette consolation, si c'en est une, offerte aux peuples en régression est corroborée par une condamnation : « Quand le destin a inutilement prodigué à une société, en même temps que toutes les faveurs, tous les avertissements, et qu'elle s'obstine dans le suicide, sa destruction n'est-elle pas une satisfaction pour l'esprit ? »Comblés d'événements, de rapprochements et de considérations, essayons de tirer la leçon du livre ; et celle d'un mot qui figure dans la phrase précédente : l'histoire est un avertissement.
