Shale oil and gas have altered the energy landscape, possibly permanently. They burst upon the fossil energy scene with a suddenness that initially defied prediction. Even the political balance of the world has changed. But, with the methods employed, the vast majority of the oi…

Teeming with weird and wonderful life--giant clams and mussels, tubeworms, "eyeless" shrimp, and bacteria that survive on sulfur--deep-sea hot-water springs are found along rifts where sea-floor spreading occurs. The theory of plate tectonics predicted the existence of these hyd…

Biomethane: developments and prospects
Utilization of waste biomass resources for biogas production / Shankar Swarup Das, Prakash K. Sarangi, and Sonil Nanda -- Characteristics, parameters, and process design of anaerobic digesters / Apoorva Upadhyay, Nidhi Pareek, and Vivekanand Vivekanand -- Metabolic engineering o…
Inland waters play an important role in the transport, transformation, loss and storage of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in the pathway between terrestrial and marine systems. Inland waters can act as both sources to the atmosphere through evasion of GHGs such as CO2, CH4 and N2O,…
Hydrogen sulphide needs to be removed from natural gas for economic and environmental reasons. Adsorption is a commonly used operation to remove H2S, and the development of novel adsorbents with larger capacity and selectivity is an active area of research. This thesis focuses o…
Energy demand, greenhouse gas emissions, and operational costs are continuing to rise year on year in the wastewater treatment sector, with traditional treatment options unable to provide sustainable solutions to increasing volumes and tightening quality standards. Current proce…
In this first comprehensive handbook of the earth's sinks for greenhouse gases, leading researchers from around the world provide an expert synthesis of current understanding and uncertainties. It will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and practitioners in conserv…
This book focuses on theoretical and computational studies by the editor's group on the direct hydroxylation of methane, which is one of the most challenging subjects in catalyst chemistry. These studies of more than 20 years include gas-phase reactions by transition-metal oxide…

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)/perennial bunchgrass hay is grown on marginal soils in the Central High Plains. This region has recently been experiencing frequent droughts. Information on the effects of variation in precipitation on soil nitrogen (N) cycling, greenhouse gas (GHG) …
