Description

Environmental Consequences and Management of Coastal Industries: Terms and Concepts covers the engineering, natural and social sciences aspects related to coastal power plants and their operation and management. The book gives background to featured problems and solutions, making it relevant to power plants in all global situations and giving practitioners what they need to assess environmental consequences. In addition, the book indicates, defines and illustrates the terms and concepts used worldwide. This is important as engineers and scientists often have an imperfect understanding of the requirements of each other, and similar (in some cases identical) terms may have very different meanings.

Users will find this to be a simple and accessible guide to the terminology used and concepts covered. Individual entries are complete in themselves, but still cross referenced to other entries where additional information may be found. This provides quick-and-easy access to the required information.

Key features

  • Provides a unique approach that acts as a first-stop-shop for complementary interests with entries presented on separate pages
  • Presents multidisciplinary content, thus ensuring that different functions understand others’ priorities and concerns
  • Includes comprehensive content with wide ranging coverage written by experts with many decades of experience in environmental aspects of coastal power plans and other industries

Andrew Wither

Andrew Wither read Chemistry and Oceanography at the University of Liverpool. He joined a team at the Mersey and Weaver River Authority charged with tackling a legacy of industrial pollution with the aim of restoring major estuaries including the Mersey – then regarded as the most polluted waterway in Europe. On formation of the National Rivers Authority he assumed the rôle of Marine and Special Projects Manger. In this role he added to his portfolio research into sources and means of alleviating microbial pollution in coastal waters. He then spent a decade as Principal Marine Scientist with the Environment Agency (England and Wales). It was during this time that he took a leading role in developing environmental standards for the new generation of Nuclear Power Stations. He is currently a Visiting Research Scientist at the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool.
