The Mekong Delta Environmental Research Guidebook (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Park, Edward; Tran, Dung Duc; Loc, Ho Huu

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Mekong Delta Environmental Research Guidebook comprehensively covers the Mekong Delta and presents new evidence on unsolved environmental issues. Key experts from around the world offer suggestions for the implementation of more effective mitigation and adaptation measures, especially in the context of climate change and upstream hydropower dam development. This book will help guide students and scientists, both juniors and seniors in their journey of the Mekong Delta Environmental Research, by presenting them with all the necessary information and detailed case studies for a more in-depth understanding of each issue so they can make informed decisions. - Presents a multi-scale viewpoint about the Mekong Delta from a global, to regional and local scale so that readers will gain a more holistic understanding of the issue from the root cause to solutions - Includes case-studies as empirical evidence to help researchers implement more effective mitigation and adaptation measures - Offers the most updated knowledge on strategies in halting environmental pressures, i.e., halting sinking delta and salinity intrusion

Autorenporträt

Dr Edward Park (PhD. University of Texas at Austin, USA) is an Assistant Professor in Physical Geography at the National Institute of Education (NIE), Asian School of the Environment (ASE), and the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He is developing a river research program titled Tropical Rivers in the Anthropocene in EOS, which aims to understand how rivers in the tropics respond to different natural disasters and human impacts. With his research focused largely on large rivers in Southeast Asia, Edward is leading multiple projects in the Mekong Basin. He has published several high-impact research articles in top journals including Nature, Remote Sensing of Environment and Science of the Total Environment. He is currently the national representative for the International Association for Geomorphologists (IAG) and is an executive committee member of the Association of Singapore Teachers (AST). He is also an editorial board member of Science of the Total Environment and Journal of Environmental Management.
