Urban Watersheds : Geology, Contamination, Environmental Regulations, and Sustainability, Second Edition
Understanding that the natural world beneath our feet is the point at which civilization meets the natural world is critical to the success of restoration and prevention efforts to reduce contaminant impacts and improve the global environment because of one simple fact – contaminants do not respect country borders. Contaminants often begin their destructive journey immediately after being released and can affect the entire planet if the release is in just the right amount at just the right location and at just the right time. Taking an interdisciplinary approach Urban Watersheds Geology Contamination Environmental Regulations and Sustainability Second Edition presents more than 30 years of research and professional practice on urban watersheds from the fields of environmental geology geochemistry risk analysis hydrology and urban planning. The geological characteristics of urbanized watersheds along with the physical and chemical properties of their common contaminants are integrated to assess risk factors for soil groundwater and air. This new edition continues to examine the urban environment and the geology beneath urban areas evaluates the contamination that affects watersheds in urban regions and addresses redevelopment strategies. Features of the Second Edition:Examines contaminants and the successes of environmental regulation worldwide and highlights the areas that need improvementDescribes several advances in investigation techniques in urban regions that now provide a huge leap forward in data collection resolution and accuracyExplains the importance of understanding the geological and hydrogeologic environments of urban and developed regionsProvides new and enhanced methods presented as a sustainability model for assessing risks to human health and the environment from negative human-induced contaminant impactsIncludes a new chapter that surveys how environmental regulations have been successful or have failed at protecting the air water and land in urban areasSuitable for use as a textbook and as a professional practice reference the book includes case studies on successful and unsuccessful approaches to contaminant remediation as well as practical methods for environmental risk assessment. PowerPoint® presentations of selected portions of the book are available with qualifying course adoption. Daniel T. Rogers is currently the Director of Environmental Affairs at Amsted Industries Inc. in Chicago Illinois. His writings address environmental geology hydrogeology geologic vulnerability and mapping contaminant fate and transport urban geology environmental site investigations contaminant risk brownfield redevelopment and sustainability. He has taught geology and environmental chemistry at Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan.
