Abstract:

The findings of this report were thought to be a useful contribution to the current knowledge of the quality of Aberdeen Harbours marine environment, and has resulted in a further round of scientific research into the effects of pollution on marine organisms. An integrative approach was used which combined chemical, biological and ecotoxicological indicators to provide evidence of pollution-induced degradation known as Sediment Quality Triad approach . The use of a Sediment Quality Triad approach to develop a single numerical index to describe the condition of the benthic ecosystem is a useful

Although power system reliability analysis is a mature research area, there is a renewed interest in updating available network models and formulating improved reliability assessment procedures. The main driver of this interest is the current transition to a new flexible and actively controlled power supply system with a high penetration of distributed generation (DG) and energy storage (ES) technologies, wider implementation of demand-side management (DSM) and application of automated control, monitoring, protection and communication infrastructures.

Abstract:

Integrated rice–shrimp ponds (IRSPs) are common in areas of southeast Asia where saltwater intrudes into rice fields in the dry season, leading to rice planting in the wet season, and shrimp farming in the dry season or throughout the year. The rotation of rice with shrimp in this system is thought to increase environmental sustainability and contribute to food security. Nevertheless, the productivity of IRSPs is generally low and unreliable, and technical solutions do not address the impacts of climate change. Consequently, farmers experience reduced livelihood and lifestyle opportunities. Th

Sediment delivery is a major problem in the Green River, Kentucky, home of 71 of the state’s 103 known mussel species and 151 fish species. The river also provides water for many of its surrounding counties. This research focuses on how suspended sediment loads, grain size, and sediment concentration during runoff events are related to watershed characteristics. The research characterized suspended sediment loads, grain size, and sediment concentration during runoff events and how they were related to watershed characteristics such as hydro-climatic regime, watershed size, geology and soils,

Climate change is triggering new water management challenges affecting regional and global water quantity and quality. Despite potential impacts of climate change on water availability have been widely studied in the last decades, the implication for concomitant changes in water quality have been just poorly explored. Variations in temperature and precipitation patterns, are likely to have profound effects on those hydrological processes (e.g. runoff, river flow, water retention time, evapotranspiration) that regulate the mobilization of pollutants from land to water bodies however, such signa

Abstract:

The aquatic environment and zoobenthos are closely related in a water body. In recent years, the use of zoobenthos to evaluate water quality is getting more attention as this approach is less polluting and less costly. This study was conducted to assess the diversity of zoobenthos in the canals affected by leachate and agricultural activities. Five sediment samples were collected in two campaigns, one in April and one in October 2018. Water samples were also collected at the same time for zoobenthos to assess the water quality and serve as a reference for assessing the effectiveness of using z

Abstract:

Climate change mitigation policies applied to passenger cars can be effective in reducing tailpipe CO₂ rates by changing vehicle mass, fuels, and drive-train technology. However, these same factors can lead to changes in vehicle emissions, vehicle safety, and, consequently, changes in health outcomes from air pollution and traffic collisions. These relationships are examined using the UK as a case study where tax regimes based on tailpipe CO₂ emission rates have been in place since 2001.

Abstract:

博士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>生物環境系統工程學研究所<br>103<br>Multivariate methods are very efficient to interpret environmental monitoring data in depth. We can explore latent intension and get more worthy insight from monitoring data by using multivariate methods. This study used groundwater quality of Kinmen Island, water quality of Tamsui River, and sediment quality of Erjen River as case studies to comprehend the characteristics of water and sediment quality monitoring data by applying multivariate methods. These studies could find out the core issues to the water and sediment quality from the comprehended char

Abstract:

The aim of the research was to ascertain whether the locally predominant seagrass species, Zostera muelleri, could be a potential TE bioindicator. This is was achieved by conducting two multi-factor laboratory Cu and environmental experiments and spatial and temporal field assessments. Results has shown that the seagrasses life cycle and the part of the seagrass analysed can influence the metal concentrations, which is important for interpretation of results.
