C/L/615. The Global Airline Industry and Carbon Dioxide Emissions
- WORDS:
- 1800
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 19.99 GBP
This paper investigates the issue of Carbon dioxide emissions, focusing on the airline industry. Rising concerns of climate change and the damage that emissions can have on the environment are connected to airlines complying with new pressures that force them to report on their emission levels produced by their operations. The Kyoto protocol is mentioned as the framework that may have a radical impact on the airline industry. The paper outlines the challenges of measurement as one of the major factors that may affect how well the airline industry complies with Carbon dioxide worries, and lists variables that should be taken into consideration, travel distance, engine type, and weather conditions for example. Methods of estimating carbon dioxide emissions produced by aircrafts are highlighted such as direct measurement, ICAO methodology, the SAGE model, Mass balance, describing the variables that affect each type of method.

S/N/293. The challenges and solutions of past, present and future urban drainage in Britain and the identification of organisations internationally.
- WORDS:

- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 29.99 GBP
The paper addresses the issue of floodplain management and the concerns raised in both the developed and developing world. Identifying that arable farming in the developed world is no longer small multi–crop production, but a highly intense mono–crop culture with large combine harvester fields and excessive artificial fertiliser usage, not only is the intensive farmland heavily drained but it has been ploughed intensively resulting in channelisation. The essay examines the potential implications of the increase in ploughing and the removal of hedgerows, reduction of natural recharging of aquifers and the problem of eutrophic water bodies and the work of Sustainable Drainage Sytems (SUDS).

S/N/292. Ochils woodland report: Planting strategy
- WORDS:
- 4600
- DATE:

- PRICE:
- 49.99 GBP
This report aims to determine the appropriate species planting strategies for an area of Menstrie Glen known as Plover Burn. The report objective includes carrying out vegetation sampling and soil assessment of the area and uses two approaches to determine the appropriate species planting strategies: the National Vegetation Classification (NVC) and the Ecological Site Classification (ESC). NVC software provides the habitat type and its class for the best suited grassland and woodland based on the information from the vegetation sampling. There are no references on this paper

S/N/291. An analysis of grazing pressures in Iceland
- WORDS:
- 6250
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 69.99 GBP
This report investigates the grazing pressures in Arnarvatnssel and Sandfell in Iceland between the three different time periods: the 1700's, the present and landnàm. Environmental modelling is used as the research method which enables data on vegetation, livestock and the climate to be simply represented for both locations and between the three different time periods. The environmental model is used for biological, environmental and historical purposes which include epidemiology studies such as disease spreading and immunisation, evolutionary models such as evolutionary stable strategies, and in the case of this report, for a grazing model, which will enable the impacts of grazing on the environment to be examined.
KEYWORDS: Grazing pressures, Iceland, environmental model, vegetation, livestock, biology, disease, land,
S/B/571. Critical reflection on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process
- WORDS:
- 2250
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 29.99 GBP
The Environmental Statement chosen for a critical evaluation in this paper is for the proposal of a second opening bridge across the Backwater Channel, Holes Bay, Poole. The Borough of Poole will be applying to the Secretary of State for Transport under the Transport and Works Act to include an approach road from West Quay Road to the bridge and a short ramp and link road on the former power station site. The Environmental Impact Assessment Directive and Regulations refer to the importance of assessing impacts on the ecology of the project, and how it may affect the local wildlife and habitat. The study assesses where more research on the viability of the proposal could be influential to the eventual decision that is made.

(Flood Action Consultancy Team) is an independent consultancy team of environmental scientists, hydrologists and conservationists, specialising in managing flooding problems, with additional skills in information technology, presentation performance and team work. The paper outlines a recent project to reduce flooding in Lingstir on the river Avon. The area has been subject to flooding since medieval times, with two recent major floods which caused social, environmental and economical impacts for the whole community. The team examine options for short and long term damage limitation, including rail track closures, increased road sign warnings, alerting emergency services and an emergency action plan for residents, along with recommendations for flood defence products for homes and businesses, debris clearance and river widening.

S/N/287. Assessment of the flood risk to West Haugh Road, Stirling
- WORDS:
- 3250
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 39.99 GBP
The paper aims to assess if a house at West Haugh Road, Stirling is at risk of large fluvial or high tidal flooding or a combination of both. In order to investigate, an electronic distance meter (EDM) and prism is used to obtain data about the relevant height of the land and distance across the flood plain topography. The indicative flood risk assessment map from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is also used to gauge the potential flood risk in the study area as well as past academic research and reports on the effects of climate change in the area.

- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 59.99 GBP
An assessment of the success of the reclamation of the open cast coal mine, Roughcastle, near Falkirk, Scotland, now referred to as Roughcastle community woodland. No longer in use as a mine, and economically non-viable, the decision was taken to develop the land. The methodology used to assess how this transition had progressed includes on site sampling, foliage density and hydro measurements and a lab assessment of phosphorous, potassium, nitrogen and pH levels of the soil and statistical comparisons of open soil to woodland soil. The types of trees that would benefit further development is discussed.

S/N/285. To what extent can Natural Flood Management contribute to mitigation of the flood hazard in the UK?
- WORDS:
- 2500
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 29.99 GBP
The paper discusses how the hard engineering of problem areas susceptible to flooding is now increasingly being addressed using Natural Flood Management. It goes on to explain how this switch in the maintenance of the environment in the UK has also benefited such aspects as tourism and the development of green spaces, biodiversity and habitats, and the aesthetic view of the protected areas. Whilst acknowledging that Natural Flood Management is beneficial in the regeneration of woodlands, wetland and peat land recreation, it purports that hard engineering still has a place in the United Kingdom, though ideally on a limited scale.
KEYWORDS: Natural flood management, environment, hard engineering, habitats, green spaces, biodiversity, rivers, flood plains,
C/N/360. Our west European climate is anomalously warm owing to the beneficial effects of the THC/MOC. Explain. What would happen in the Atlantic Ocean and on the European continent if this circulation was modified, weakened or stopped?
- WORDS:
- 1800
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 19.99 GBP
The paper examines the effects of the global warming on the temperature and density of the Polar waters and the outcomes of this process. The causes of the anomalously warm Western European climate are explained by the circulation of water within the oceans known as thermohaline circulation (THC) arguing whether the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) of the Atlantic Ocean will slow down during the 21st century.
