Subsurface Environmental Modelling Between Science And Policy

Download or read book Subsurface Environmental Modelling Between Science and Policy written by Dirk Scheer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-25 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad overview of essential features of subsurface environmental modelling at the science-policy interface, offering insights into the potential challenges in the field of subsurface flow and transport, as well as the corresponding computational modelling and its impact on the area of policy- and decision-making. The book is divided into two parts: Part I presents models, methods and software at the science-policy interface. Building on this, Part II illustrates the specifications using detailed case studies of subsurface environmental modelling. It also includes a systematic research overview and discusses the anthropogenic use of the subsurface, with a particular focus on energy-related technologies, such as carbon sequestration, geothermal technologies, fluid and energy storage, nuclear waste disposal, and unconventional oil and gas recovery.
