Human beings require nourishment for the body, mind, and soul. To nourish tomorrow demands sustainable, clean and healthy food, water, air, healthcare, energy, living quarters, communities, and governance for everyone. This volume brings together twenty-four experts — comprising engineers, scientists, economists, architects, academics, and public servants from around the world — to share their views on how we could sustainably nourish people and the planet.In this book, the theme of building environments in which life — human and non-human — can co-exist, grow, and thrive in, is explored from multiple aspects. From agriculture and food security to drinking water, energy generation, energy storage, waste management and treatment, to building for and encouraging biodiversity in marinas, to establishing resilient communities that can recover quickly from both manmade and natural disasters.This book is a valuable resource for readers in the fields of biological science, agriculture, and sustainability. It is also a thought-provoking volume for those who simply want to know more about the complex issue of nourishing the world.

Ecomobilities examines the ideological connections between automobiles, the environment, and the end of the world, focusing on the car’s inseparability from modern life. Through popular films addressing both mobilities and environmental disasters, Ecomobilities reveals how American automobility has influenced responses to warming temperatures and shifting ecosystems.

Environmental engineers support the well-being of people and the planet in areas where the two intersect. Over the decades the field has improved countless lives through innovative systems for delivering water, treating waste, and preventing and remediating pollution in air, water, and soil. These achievements are a testament to the multidisciplinary, pragmatic, systems-oriented approach that characterizes environmental engineering. Environmental Engineering for the 21st Century: Addressing Grand Challenges outlines the crucial role for environmental engineers in this period of dramatic growth and change. The report identifies five pressing challenges of the 21st century that environmental engineers are uniquely poised to help advance: sustainably supply food, water, and energy; curb climate change and adapt to its impacts; design a future without pollution and waste; create efficient, healthy, resilient cities; and foster informed decisions and actions.

This volume contains state of the engineering practice and recent research in the field of built infrastructure and natural hazards. It is expected that the book will help engineers and researchers to design and built resilient infrastructures in challenging conditions (e.g., earthquakes and climate change) while optimising the design and minimising the future maintenance cost. In particular new design and construction techniques with reference to major infrastructure projects such as tunneling and transport infrastructure are discussed.

This volume contains a compilation of studies regarding novel technology of underground space development, behavior analysis and modelling of soils and underground infrastructure from the 6th GeoChina International Conference held in Nanchang, China from July 19 to 21, 2021. The scope of the studies covers both methodological and pragmatic solutions to critical issues, including soil arching and invert heaving, penetration resistance of mono-bucket foundations in silty soil, inception of debris avalanches, and novel infrastructure survey methods based on point cloud and image analysis. It is anticipated that this updated knowledge will lead to more resilient design, expedited inspection, timely maintenance and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure, and will be beneficial to both researchers and practitioners in the field.
