This book comprises the proceedings of the Annual Conference of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineering 2021. The contents of this volume focus on specialty conferences in construction, environmental, hydrotechnical, materials, structures, transportation engineering, etc. This volume will prove a valuable resource for those in academia and industry.

Die Ostsahara ist der grote hyperaride Raum der Erde. Die Forschungen zeigen, dass in den letzten ca. 13.000 Jahren ein geradezu dramatischer Klimawandel abgelaufen ist. Die Rekonstruktion der ostsaharischen Geookosysteme auf der Basis von geomorphologisch-palaohydrographischen, sedimentologischen und palaozoologischen Befunden fuhrt zu uberraschenden Ergebnissen. Beispielsweise erweisen sich einige schwer zugangliche Syneklisen der Ostsahara wahrend der fruh- bis mittelholozanen Feuchtphase als bedeutende Wasserdampfquellen. Die Existenz von fischreichen Suwasserseen und ausgedehnten...

Integrating decades of research conducted by leading scientists in the field, Remote Sensing of Energy Fluxes and Soil Moisture Content provides an overview of state-of-the-art methods and modeling techniques employed for deriving spatio-temporal estimates of energy fluxes and soil surface moisture from remote sensing. It also underscores the range of such techniques available nowadays as well as the operationally distributed networks that provide today in-situ validated relevant observations.

The book brings together three types of articles:

The Handbook of Micrometeorology is the most up-to-date reference for micrometeorological issues and methods related to the eddy covariance technique for estimating mass and energy exchange between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere. It provides useful insight for interpreting estimates of mass and energy exchange and understanding the role of the terrestrial biosphere in global environmental change.

In recent decades there has been a growing awareness of how intricate the interactions are between human beings and the environment. Fortunately, progress has been made in understanding this relationship, and new technologies have been effective in addressing environmental problems. However belatedly, there has been an acknowledgment of the incompatibility of the world's finite resources with humankind's increasingly greater needs for them, and of how such a challenge demands broadened collaboration among engineers, social scientists, politicians and financial powers. Global agreement that...
