<p>A growing concern that increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are contributing to global climate change has led to a search for economical and environmentally sound ways to reduce carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions.</p>
Reference: Environmental Geosciences, v. 18, no. 1 (March 2011), pp. 19–34
The Geologic Resources Division of the National Park Service initiated and funded the development of this manual to provide guidance for resource managers seeking to establish the status and trends of geologic resources and processes within the National Park ...

<p>This publication presents the reasons for geotechnical instrumentation and a description of the basic instruments for geotechnical monitoring.</p>
Reference:
Remote monitoring of slope movement using electronic instrumentation can be an effective approach for many unstable or potentially unstable slopes. Water levels can be observed using vibrating wire piezometers. Movements and deformation can be determined ...

An assessment of four different remote sensing based methods for deriving digital elevation models (DEMs) was conducted in a floodprone watershed in North Carolina. New airborne LIDAR (light detecting and ranging) and IFSAR (interferometric synthetic aperture ...
Reference: Remote Sensing of Environment 84 (2003) 295-308
Geological repositories for the disposal of high level radioactive waste are designed to provide isolation of the waste from the human environment for many thousands of years. Monitoring the environment of such repositories is not therefore expected to reveal ...
