Geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, and other allied engineering disciplines have, for a long time, shifted from problem solving to creating problems that plague our planet. This book, Sustainable Soils Re-Engineering, is here to point the world to a more environmentally friendly approach to solving problems using engineering skills. This book moved from the use of cement, which contribute hugely to global warming through the release of oxides of carbon, to the utilization of derivatives of solid-waste materials in the form of ash or powder. These are derived through direct combustion and crushing. Yet one may wonder where the oxides of carbon released during combustion is managed. This book also proposes a model through which oxides of carbon are entrapped through a controlled combustion mechanism. That way, ash is generated for use as geomaterial, and the environment is left healthy. The operation of utilizing solid waste equally rids the environment of its plaguing condition in the process. Also the more practical approach exposed in this book will assist researchers across the world to explore new and novel grounds toward helping humanity. More on this is the bringing forth of mathematical methods like the extreme vertex design adopted in modeling properties of re-engineered soils.

Geomorphometry: Concepts, Software, Applications Volume 33
<i>Geomorphometry </i>is the science of quantitative land-surface analysis. It draws upon mathematical, statistical, and image-processing techniques to quantify the shape of earth's topography at various spatial scales. The focus of geomorphometry is the calculation of surface-form measures (land-surface parameters) and features (objects), which may be used to improve the mapping and modelling of landforms to assist in the evaluation of soils, vegetation, land use, natural hazards, and other information. <p/>This book provides a practical guide to preparing Digital Elevation Models (DEM) for analysis and extracting land-surface parameters and objects from DEMs through a variety of software. It further offers detailed instructions on applying parameters and objects in soil, agricultural, environmental and earth sciences. This is a manual of state-of-the-art methods to serve the various researchers who use geomorphometry. <p/>Soil scientists will use this book to further learn the methods for classifying and measuring the chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils and gain a further understaing of the role of soil as a natural resource. Geologists will find value in the instruction this book provides for measuring the physical features of the soil such as elevation, porosity, and structure which geologists use to predict natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and flooding.
