    The Future
    • 1st Edition
    • Eric Wolanski + 3 more
    • English
    Coasts and Estuaries: The Future provides valuable information on how we can protect and maintain natural ecological structures while also allowing estuaries to deliver services that produce societal goods and benefits. These issues are addressed through chapters detailing case studies from estuaries and coastal waters worldwide, presenting a full range of natural variability and human pressures. Following this, a series of chapters written by scientific leaders worldwide synthesizes the problems and offers solutions for specific issues graded within the framework of the socio-economic-envir... mosaic. These include fisheries, climate change, coastal megacities, evolving human-nature interactions, remediation measures, and integrated coastal management. The problems faced by half of the world living near coasts are truly a worldwide challenge as well as an opportunity for scientists to study commonalities and differences and provide solutions. This book is centered around the proposed DAPSI(W)R(M) framework, where drivers of basic human needs requires activities that each produce pressures. The pressures are mechanisms of state change on the natural system and Impacts on societal welfare (including well-being). These problems then require responses, which are the solutions relating to governance, socio-economic and cultural measures (Scharin et al 2016).

    • English
    In consultation with Dr. William Rayburn, Dr. Muller has put together an issue designed to educate the reader on the rapid progress in Gynecologic Cancer Care. More than any other field in obstetrics and gynecology, gynecologic oncology has seen an explosion in integrated drug development and technology, includin... personalized medicine, germline and somatic testing, targeted therapeutics, biologic and immunotherapies, improved robotic technology, and a paradigm shift towards “less is more.” Evolving data in quality measures including enhanced surgical recovery, integrative palliative care, and survivorship management has strengthened the need for a seemless team approach to the care of our patients. Despite the complexity and rapid discoveries leading to significant change in practice, the dedication to patients is the driver to stay up to date and participate in the research and clinical trials that lead to the cancer care advances that are substantial in this update. Expert authors have contributed articles on the following topics: Trends in Gynecologic Cancer Care in North America: Safety, Value and Quality; Cancer Screening and Prevention Highlights in Gynecologic Cancer; Germline and Somatic Tumor Testing in Gynecologic Cancer Care; Less is More: Minimally Invasive and Quality Surgical Management of Gynecologic Cancer; Ovarian Cancer: Clinical Trial Breakthroughs and Impact on Management; Endometrial Cancer: Obesity, Genetics and Targeted Trials; Cervical Cancer: A Global and Access to Care Crisis; Vulvar and Vaginal Cancer; Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia; Chemotherapy, Biologic and Immunotherapy Breakthroughs in Cancer Care; Palliative Care in Gynecologic Oncology; Personalized Medicine in Gynecologic Cancer: Fact or Fiction; and Survivorship Care in Gynecologic Cancer.

    • English
    Spatial Modeling in GIS and R for Earth and Environmental Sciences offers an integrated approach to spatial modelling using both GIS and R. Given the importance of Geographical Information Systems and geostatistics across a variety of applications in Earth and Environmental Science, a clear link between GIS and open source software is essential for the study of spatial objects or phenomena that occur in the real world and facilitate problem-solving. Organized into clear sections on applications and using case studies, the book helps researchers to more quickly understand GIS data and formulate more complex conclusions. The book is the first reference to provide methods and applications for combining the use of R and GIS in modeling spatial processes. It is an essential tool for students and researchers in earth and environmental science, especially those looking to better utilize GIS and spatial modeling.
