Complex Systems is a new field of science studying how parts of a system give rise to the collective behaviors of the system, and how the system interacts with its environment. This book examines the complex systems involved in environmental sustainability, and examines the technologies involved to help mitigate human impacts, such as renewable energy, desalination, carbon capture, recycling, etc. It considers the relationships and balance between environmental engineering and science, economics, and human activity, with regard to sustainability.
Zielgruppe
Practitioners and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in sustainability science and policy, environmental engineering, environmental management, renewable energy, and natural resource management; practitioners in applied climatology; interested readers with a college education in the sciences; juniors and senior undergraduates and graduate students majoring in the sciences and engineering; and industry professionals, researchers, academics, economists, ecologists, and agricultural, mining and civil engineers.
