Climate change vulnerability assessment ( CCVA ) can inform adaptation policy and help in incorporating climate futures planning. The literature on stems from a number of research paradigms (e.g., risk assessment, natural disaster management, urban planning), therefore making it difficult to extract major directions methodologies this body work. A large assessments are based, partly or totally, indicators which bring up specific methodological problems constraints. In study, first, we...
Microplastics (MPs) are emerging persistent contaminants in the terrestrial subsurface, and evidence has emerged for significant effects of MPs on biological ecosystem functions soils. Main MP sources include land spreading sewage sludge biowaste composts, plastic mulching film used horticultural fields, waste water irrigation leachate from landfills, among others. This updated state-of-the-art review paper describes recent experimental numerical research developments understanding...
Abstract We developed a numerical simulation model of the decay and vertical transport soil organic matter. Soil matter is divided into number compartments each with different rates but similar migration parameters. Decay has been represented first‐order processes. Two elementary forms were explored: diffusive equations represent through mixing whereas translational convection simulates movement within liquid phase. Coefficients decay, diffusion, taken to be uniform depth. Carbon input both...
Clays have numerous applications in a variety of including engineering, medical and civil areas. The wide applicability clays is attributed to their useful physico-mechanical as well biomedical applications, since they are readily available, nontoxic human body environment, low cost having kneading, swelling, adsorption properties for metal ions. Industrial sectors different fields greatly dependent on the usage clays, but cracks or defects damaged areas present restrict practical...
Soil water retention curves (SWRC) are constitutive relationships that critical for predicting the hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soil in a wide range applications geoenvironmental and geotechnical engineering, hydrology, agricultural science. Directly measuring SWRC can be costly time-consuming. Recent research has shown machine learning, especially artificial neural networks (ANNs), effectively predict using easy-to-measure properties as inputs. However, significant questions...
Assessments of vulnerability to flooding can generate useful data for planners and policy makers. To the best authors knowledge, no flood-vulnerability study has combined geophysical modelling floods with socio-economic assessments at finer municipal or household scale. In addition, extent which actually feed into flood adaptation policies remains largely unknown. A new index, associated methodology, is proposed, combining high-resolution hydrological-hydraulic built-environment indicators...
Purpose The aim of this paper is to explore the rationale for teaching sustainability and engineering ethics within a decision‐making paradigm, critically appraise ways achieving related learning outcomes. Design/methodology/approach presents experience School Civil Engineering at University Sydney in environmental third‐year undergraduate students. It discusses objectives course merits drawbacks incorporating same framework. In addition, it evaluates theoretical applied perspectives on...
Although intact geomembranes are excellent barriers to fluid flow, there still two possible pathways for the transport of organic contaminants into environment: leakage through defects in geomembrane, and diffusion geomembrane. Analytical, semi-analytical numerical techniques calculating rates have been developed. However, no previous attempt has made rigorously model interaction between a hole wrinkle diffusion. To address this shortcoming, finite-element analyses two-dimensional space...
