An up-to-date discussion of the latest in weather-related event forecasting and management In Responding to Extreme Weather Events, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a timely and authoritative exploration of three international extreme weather projects:...
CONTINGENCY PLANNING FOR INCREASED FLOODS AND DROUGHTS RESULTING FROM CLIMATE CHANGE TO PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH Hydrometeorological Extreme Events and Public Health outlines the links between climate change, trends in hydrometeorological extreme events, and the effects on...
A large part of the world’s coastlines consists of sandy beaches and dunes that may undergo dramatic changes during storms. Extreme storm events in some cases dominate the erosion history of the coastline and may have dramatic impacts on densely populated coastal areas....
Combining laboratory experience with research and policy developments, this book provides an insight into the historical background of marine monitoring, its regulatory frameworks and science–policy interactions. With experience in the European Commission, the author...
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL EXTREME EVENTS Hydrometeorological Hazards: Interfacing Science and Policy Recent hydrometeorological extreme events have highlighted the increased exposure and vulnerability of societies and the need to strengthen the knowledge-base of related...
Wide- scale chemical monitoring programmes are required by international conventions and European Union policies such as the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) and the new EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This entails all waters, including transitional...
Rapid Chemical and Biological Techniques for Water Monitoring presents in one volume the broad spectrum of monitoring tools, both available and under development, and provides an assessment of their potential for underpinning environmental management and legislation....
Deals with new EC legislation – the Water Framework Directive; the main driver within Europe for groundwater monitoring which addresses integrated water resource management across 27 different countries Provides comprehensive approach and guidance on the theoretical...
It is increasingly recognized that the greatest risks of error in environmental analysis lie in the sample preparation rather than the analysis stage. This book describes the precautions that must be taken from the sampling to the sample pretreatment via the storage...
Quality assurance (QA) has become an increasingly important topic, as environmental monitoring bodies realize that accuracy of measurements can depend very much on how the measurement is taken. This book will describe methods in light of all of the European, US, and...
The issue of water quality monitoring is becoming a huge area as the EU requirements for cleaner water increase. On-line monitoring involves measuring a body of water constantly and in-situ as opposed to analysing samples in the lab. Currently filling the gap in the...
Drinking water policies and research are intimately linked. It is thanks to the scientific progress made over the last 25 years in identifying and controlling toxic products in drinking water that regulations have developed in such a way that the protection of public...
L'eau est un bien précieux dont la préservation devient une priorité absolue et la gestion de la ressource en eau fait face à un défi majeur : la capacité à s'adapter à l'excès comme à la pénurie. L'évaluation des impacts du changement climatique sur le cycle de l'eau,...
Les eaux souterraines constituent le réservoir le plus important d'eau douce au niveau mondial. Leur rôle pour l'industrie, l'agriculture, ainsi que dans le cycle de l'eau, en particulier pour la maintenance des zones humides et du débit des cours d'eau superficiels...
La métrologie existe depuis plus d'un siècle mais, à quelques exceptions près, cette discipline ne s'est appliquée à la chimie que durant les quinze dernières années. Une approche récente traitant de "métrologie en chimie et biologie" émerge, dans laquelle les termes...
Les matériaux de référence représentent des outils indispensables dont les laboratoires disposent pour valider et évaluer la performance de leurs procédures d'analyses chimiques et biologiques. Ils sont utilisés depuis plusieurs décennies dans de nombreuses branches...
Métrologie en chimie de l’environnement, ouvrage unique en langue française : une référence pour les techniciens et chercheurs des laboratoires de contrôle et des instituts de recherche sur l’environnement.
