      Case Studies in Disaster Response, the latest release in the Disaster and Emergency Management: Case Studies in Adaptation and Innovation series, focuses on the key functions performed in the emergency response to a disaster, how these functions are coordinated, and typical challenges and issues that emerge. Cases address both hazard- and response-generated needs. Also explored are the needs generated by emergent threats (e.g., Ebola crisis), emergent technologies (e.g., social media), and emergent groups (e.g., social innovation teams) that set the stage for innovation and adaption.

      The Nile River System, Africa: Ecohydrology and Management from Catchment to Coast, Volume Two provides a critical synthesis of knowledge for an important global region. It covers water availability and needs in the Nile basin, focusing on socioeconomic, hydrological and ecological aspects and the catchment-coast continuum, also providing the information needed to develop a policy for the river that is less skewed toward immediate human needs and more focused on environmental impacts. Readers will find ecological perspectives, recent stresses, the current status of the basin, and more.The greater integration of ecological and river management themes is the main strength of this book, making it a strong reference for academics and water resources managers, as well as fishery experts, aquatic scientists and social scientists.

      Analysis of Microplastics and Nanoplastics comprehensively overviews the common analytical methods for microplastic and nanoplastic analysis. With a strong focus on sustainability, the book covers the analysis process from sampling, separation/enrichmen... observation to identification of polymer composition and a presentation of data. This book presents the unique features of microplastics and nanoplastics as particle contaminants, their heterogenous distribution in the environments and biota, and the complexity and difficulty of their analysis compared with typical solvent contaminants.Analysi... of Microplastics and Nonoplastics will provide researchers with a solid background to the environmental issues, analytical challenges, and current state-of-the-differe... available methods for micro and nanoplastics to start or develop research.

      Microplastics: Transport, Impacts, Monitoring and Mitigation provides a critical analysis of our current understanding of microplastic science, the methods by which microplastic are observed in the environment, and our options for mitigation and remediation. The book is intended for those studying or working in the fields of environmental science and waste management (as well as associated areas), and provides the holistic context needed to evaluate and interpret the outputs associated with the interlinked problems of plastic and microplastics.In this manner, the reader will be invited to explore the ongoing challenges which have thus far prevented the development of a thorough understanding of the risk posed by plastic and microplastic pollution to be able to discuss the implications of ongoing uncertainty to effective plastic management and evaluate the current strategies to control the ongoing proliferation of plastic pollution.

      Water Matters: Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals presents a compilation of water scenarios and their relationship to multiple facets of life, as water forms a nexus with food security and energy resources, thereby forming one of the fundamental pillars of sustainable development. The thematic topics focus on studies of achieving individual sustainable development goals looking through the lens of water availability and usage, ranging from safe and sustainable drinking water availability to poverty alleviation, inequalities, climate change, and solutions for future. Each chapter presents holistic review of the topic and provides insight for further research, along with a case study of the specific theme. This book integrates the knowledge on global-scale water reviews to local-scale case studies, ideal for hydrologists, hydrogeologists, and water managers in earth and environmental sciences, social sciences, and economics.

      **2025 PROSE Award Finalist in Environmental Science**Applied Statistical Modelling for Ecologists provides a gentle introduction to the essential models of applied statistics: linear models, generalized linear models, mixed and hierarchical models. All models are fit with both a likelihood and a Bayesian approach, using several powerful software packages widely used in research publications: JAGS, NIMBLE, Stan, and TMB. In addition, the foundational method of maximum likelihood is explained in a manner that ecologists can really understand.This book is the successor of the widely used Introduction to WinBUGS for Ecologists (Kéry, Academic Press, 2010). Like its parent, it is extremely effective for both classroom use and self-study, allowing students and researchers alike to quickly learn, understand, and carry out a very wide range of statistical modelling tasks.The examples in Applied Statistical Modelling for Ecologists come from ecology and the environmental sciences, but the underlying statistical models are very widely used by scientists across many disciplines. This book will be useful for anybody who needs to learn and quickly become proficient in statistical modelling, with either a likelihood or a Bayesian focus, and in the model-fitting engines covered, including the three latest packages NIMBLE, Stan, and TMB.
