India's sustained and rapid economic growth offers an opportunity to lift millions out of poverty. But this may come at a steep cost to the nation's environment and natural resources. This insightful book analyzes India's growth from an economic perspective and assesses whether …
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is increasingly viewed as one of the most significant ways of dealing with green house gas emissions. Critical to realising its potential will be the design of effective legal regimes at national and international level that can handle effectivel…
"Climate and energy policy needs to be durable and flexible to be successful, but these two concepts often seem to be in opposition. One venerable institution where both ideas are apparent is the Clean Air Act, first passed by the United States Congress in 1963, with amendments …

Peatland ecosystems serve an essential role in the global carbon cycle by storing atmospheric carbon as peat, but disturbances can alter natural carbon dynamics. Although abandoned and restored peatlands have been a focus of research in Canada, few studies have addressed decompo…
Currently there is unprecedented social and political pressure to minimise anthropogenic environmental change. It is a result of the paradoxical nature of emissions reduction that lean-burn technology has become the most likely agent by which future emission targets may be met. …
This research study seeks to evaluate the techno-economic and environmental implications of a variety of aero-derivative marine gas turbine cycles that have been modelled for the propulsion of different types of merchant ships. It involves the installation and operation of gas t…
The continued global reliance on fossil fuels with impact on resource depletion, human health, atmospheric pollution and environmental degradation has necessitated a global drive to integrate renewable fuels such as biodiesels. Biodiesels are described as “fuels composed of fatt…
This investigation aims to enhance the regeneration performance of a diesel particulate filter. This is achieved by introducing various chemical components to the regeneration process, which are representative of what can be generated ‘on board’ a vehicle using an exhaust gas fu…
The aim of this thesis is to present and analyse the role of the environmental groups and the trade unions on the issue of the environmental protection through the economic methodology. The specific groups have strong connection with the environmental issue since the beginning o…
Atmospheric pollutants in the state of Qatar are derived from flaring and fugitive emissions due to a combination of new energy projects, operational conditions and plant operational problems. This research is the first attempt to quantitatively assess key atmospheric pollutants…

Coastal wetlands across the Southeastern U.S. coastline are among the most productive ecosystems worldwide, but are expected to experience challenges due to human alterations of the landscape, sea-level rise, and changing frequency of extreme events. Wetlands provide critical ec…
Marine ports are the largest single business complex in the maritime sector impacting the coastal, marine, and atmospheric environment. The environmental effects of port operations mostly originate from the vessel and cargo handling operations, and maintenance. Port operations g…
Over the past decades, two things have become increasingly apparent: first, climate change and associated environmental impacts are pressing issues, and second, despite this growing threat, existing policies still fall far short. The goal of my research, and what I hope for the …
