Future U.S. Workforce for Geospatial Intelligence
ISBN: 9780309268646 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. We live in a changing world with multiple and evolving threats to national security, including terrorism, asymmetrical warfare (conflicts between agents with different military powers or tactics), and social unrest. Visually depicting and assessing these threats using imagery and other geographically-referenced information is the mission of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). As the nature of the threat evolves, so do the tools, knowledge, and skills needed to respond. The challenge for NGA is to maintain a workforce that can deal with evolving threats to national security,...

Characterization, Modeling, Monitoring, and Remediation of Fractured Rock
ISBN: 9780309373722 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Fractured rock is the host or foundation for innumerable engineered structures related to energy, water, waste, and transportation. Characterizing, modeling, and monitoring fractured rock sites is critical to the functioning of those infrastructure, as well as to optimizing resource recovery and contaminant management. Characterization, Modeling, Monitoring, and Remediation of Fractured Rock examines the state of practice and state of art in the characterization of fractured rock and the chemical and biological processes related to subsurface contaminant fate and transport. This... Fractured rock is the host or foundation for innumerable engineered structures related to energy, water, waste, and transportation. Characterizing,... |

Fostering Transformative Research in the Geographical Sciences
ISBN: 9780309389341 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The central purpose of all research is to create new knowledge. In the geographical sciences this is driven by a desire to create new knowledge about the relations between space, place, and the anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic features and processes of the Earth. But some research goes beyond these modest aims and creates new opportunities for further research, or affects the process of knowledge acquisition more broadly, or changes the way other researchers in a domain think about the world and go about their business. Due to its positive impacts, transformative research can be... The central purpose of all research is to create new knowledge.

Advancing Land Change Modeling: Opportunities and Research Requirements
ISBN: 9780309288330 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. People are constantly changing the land surface through construction, agriculture, energy production, and other activities. Changes both in how land is used by people (land use) and in the vegetation, rock, buildings, and other physical material that cover the Earth's surface (land cover) can be described and future land change can be projected using land-change models (LCMs). LCMs are a key means for understanding how humans are reshaping the Earth's surface in the past and present, for forecasting future landscape conditions, and for developing policies to manage our use of resources and...

Induced Seismicity Potential in Energy Technologies
ISBN: 9780309253673 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the past several years, some energy technologies that inject or extract fluid from the Earth, such as oil and gas development and geothermal energy development, have been found or suspected to cause seismic events, drawing heightened public attention. Although only a very small fraction of injection and extraction activities among the hundreds of thousands of energy development sites in the United States have induced seismicity at levels noticeable to the public, understanding the potential for inducing felt seismic events and for limiting their occurrence and impacts is...

Management and Effects of Coalbed Methane Produced Water in the Western United States
ISBN: 9780309154321 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In some coalbeds, naturally occurring water pressure holds methane--the main component of natural gas--fixed to coal surfaces and within the coal. In a coalbed methane (CBM) well, pumping water from the coalbeds lowers this pressure, facilitating the release of methane from the coal for extraction and use as an energy source. Water pumped from coalbeds during this process--CBM 'produced water'--is managed through some combination of treatment, disposal, storage, or use, subject to compliance with federal and state regulations. CBM produced water management can be challenging for...In some coalbeds, naturally occurring water pressure holds methane--the main component of natural gas--fixed to coal surfaces and within the coal. ... |
