Risk-based Decision Making in Water Resources
Proceedings of the Fourth Engineering Conference, held in Santa Barbara, California, October 15-20, 1989. This collection contains 20 papers that address the application of risk analysis to a wealth of water resources problems. Current risk-assessment issues confronting water resources planners are evaluated along with areas of uncertainty. Requirements and procedures currently promoted by engineers in federal and state water resources agencies are identified. Decision analysis methods and/or models that can explicitly incorporate risk preferences are reviewed. In addition, various risk methodologies are discussed as they apply to dam safety, flood control, environmental impacts, and other social, economic, and technological aspects of water resources planning and management.
Biophysical Economy
"This book explores the concept of transforming the current macroeconomic system from one based on continuous growth that doesn't recognize the fundamental importance of Earth's natural support structures, to a system consistent with the basic views of biophysical economics that acknowledges that all real wealth ultimately derives from planetary resources, both renewable and non-renewable. It describes how data and information collected by various institutions, government agencies, and the private sector, can be integrated with existing management structures to transform the "continuous growth" economy into an economy that functions within understandable boundaries on a finite planet"--
Toxic Contaminants and Ecosystem Health
Air Pollutants and their Effects on the Terrestrial Ecosystem Edited by Allan H. Legge Because the sources and interactions are so complex, only an integrated approach to research is effective in identifying pollution problems. This sourcebook collects material from a range of disciplines to explore the effects of pollution on vegetation, soils, and forestry. It draws on the expertise of environmental chemists, physicists, photochemists, agricultural scientists, and others to examine how pollutants affect the ecosystem and interact with each other. 656 pp. (0 471-08312-7) 1986 Cadmium in the Aquatic Environment Edited by Jerome O.
