The Trans-Atlantic Research and Development Interchanges on Sustainability is a comprehensive foundational look at sustainability science, developed directly from the outcomes and learnings of the Trans-Atlantic Research and Development Interchanges on Sustainability (TARDIS) workshop that has been ongoing since 2004. The book brings together the most thorough recent advances in concepts, theories, methods, models and applications to steer the course towards a sustainable and resilient future. It provides a source of information on sustainability science directly from the experiences of global sustainability scientists and their research data not found elsewhere.This book will be an all-encompassing source of information on all aspects of sustainability science for academics, researchers and students in sustainability science and any applicable science that takes sustainability into account.
Forms a comprehensive, foundational review of sustainability science, a crucial area in need of thorough understanding, research and applicationCovers local and global sustainability concepts, providing small and large-scale research on sustainabilityDelivers a collection of sustainability ideas and thinking from the TARDIS workshops not available elsewhereWater, Land, and Forest Susceptibility and Sustainability

Water, Land, and Forest Susceptibility and Sustainability, Volume 1: Geospatial Approaches & Modeling brings an interdisciplinary perspective to solving complex problems in sustainability, utilizing the latest research and technologies, and includes case studies that emphasize the applications of remote sensing, GIS, and image processing for addressing the current state and future needs to achieve sustainability. As forests, land, and water are among the most precious resources on earth, emphasizing the need to conserve them for future generations and, of course, a safe and sustainable planet. The assessment of the susceptibility of all these three precious resources must therefore be addressed to inform their sustainable management.
This 1st volume encourages adaptive activities among experts employed in interdisciplinary fields, from data mining and machine learning to environmental science by linking geospatial computational intelligence technology to forest, land and water issues.
Presents theoretical context and practical solutions for understanding the current knowledge and where future efforts should be directed Includes case studies in each chapter demonstrating the use of geospatial technologies Offers an interdisciplinary approach to addressing susceptibility and achieving sustainabilityWater, Land, and Forest Susceptibility and Sustainability, Volume 2

Greening Our Economy for a Sustainable Future examines the green economy by balancing social needs, the environment, and the economy. It argues that different economic models must be developed to address the environment caused by economic expansion. The book not only looks at the opportunities of having a green economy, but also goes into areas such as greenwashing, social washing, sustainability, economics, and more. In addition, it addresses how one can improve well-being through a symbiotic relationship between economic growth and environmental stewardship.
Reviews literature and case studies that can be applied on a large-scale on measures to change the way of economic development to implement a green economy theoryExamines bottlenecks that occur when resource scarcity or poor quality makes investment more expensiveHighlights opportunities for innovation spurred by policies and framework conditions that allow for new ways of addressing environmental problemsAdvances in Hydrology
