This chapter examines effects of climate change on human infrastructure in permafrost regions of Siberia. The presence and dynamic nature of ice-rich permafrost constitute a distinctive engineering environment. Many engineering problems in Siberia are associated with (1) changes in the temperature of ...
Climate change is expected to be one of the main challenges for urban wastewater systems in the next decades, and it is estimated that it will have a dual effect on wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The processes occurring in a WWTP are affected by climate change; more extreme weather ...
the risk of releases of radionuclides from operational and legacy wastes on land to the marine environment. Overall, our synthesis highlights that there is a need to understand and assess climate change impacts on sources of radionuclides to the marine environment to meet environmental and management ...
At its core, the purpose of the appropriations process is to allocate resources. By deciding how federal funds are distributed across government agencies and programs, Congress effectively determines the nation’s policy priorities. Whether legislators invest in education, national security, infrastructure...
Internet access, since much of the underlying communications infrastructure(基础设施) lies in the path of rising seas.As a result of these risks, many coastal cities are already planning adaptation measures to manage with the long-term prospects of higher se a levels, often at considerable cost....
Impacts of Large-Scale Stormwater Green Infrastructure Implementation and Climate Variability on Receiving Water Response in the Salt Lake City Area Farmington Bay is an important natural resource for the state of Utah, providing wetland habitats including freshwater and salt water, marshes, mud flats,...
