About the Book

This book contains most of the papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Evaluation, Monitoring, Simulation, Management and Remediation of the Geological Environment and Landscape held in The New Forest, Ashurst Lodge, UK, in June 2008, organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology, UK, Complutense University, Madrid, Spain, University of Tartu, Estonia, and sponsored by the WIT Transactions on the Built Environment. This volume brings together international information, experience and research in order to give the reader a greater knowledge and ability to help their communities to develop in a sustainable way. It discusses some of the problems facing the public and private sectors and the engineering and scientific communities. It studies several aspects of environmental pollution, modelling, and monitoring, soil and rock properties, vulnerability studies, ecosystem remediation, climatological processes and hydrological studies, geo-ecology and landscape analysis, geo-environment in urban settings, natural hazards and risks, remote sensing of the environment, environmental planning and management, and restoration of ecosystems.The papers published in the book are grouped in the following sections: Remediation and Restoration; Environmental Modelling; Environmental Monitoring; Environmental Hazards and Pollution; Landscape Analysis.

Table of Contents:
Section 1: Remediation and restoration Silica sand slope gullying and mining in Central Spain: erosion processes and geomorphic reclamation of contour mining; The problem of flow by-pass at permeable reactive barriers; Planning of flood defence management and rehabilitation of the natural habitat in the downstream part of the river Tiber Section 2: Environmental modelling The potential impact of agricultural management change on soil restoration of the cereal-growing regions of central Spain; The nugget-effect approaches of SAKWebA(c) for environmental modelling; Occurrence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Kuwait environment; The water balance analysis of Kordan Basin (north west of Iran); The behaviour of unsaturated compacted clay under plane strain condition; Novel combined approach for bedrock incision analysis: geochemistry and hydraulic modelling.
