A hydrologic model based on the Analytic Elements Method (AEM) has been developed for a phreatic aquifer in the General Separations Area (GSA), of the Savannah River Site (SRS), South Carolina, USA. The AEM is a semi-analytical ...

The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of the Analytical Element Method (AEM) toward multiobjective, multiscale, ongoing modeling needs at complex hydrologic sites such as those managed by the US Department of ...

A critical aspect in establishing environmental policies lies in the proper assessment of the value of the resource being affected. Standard risk assessment analyses calculate the cost of pollution as consisting, solely, ...

Data from the last twenty years for sinkhole occurrences in West Central Florida are used in conjunction with population and housing data, including house prices, to assess the risk of a house being swallowed by a sinkhole, ...

For a given opportunity in which a company can invest to perform environmental remediation for profit, the influences of value, cost, success probability, and corporate risk tolerance provide an optimal working interest ...

This volume systematically introduces a number of stochastic methods used by researchers in the community in a tutorial way and presents methodologies for spatially and temporally stationary as well as nonstationary flows. ...

We evaluate the application of various statistical measures for the identification of optimal financial strategies in environmental projects that may be burdened by the consequences of low-probability, high-cost events. ...

With ongoing reduction of engagement of public authorities in infrastructure development, private companies have to consider their responsibility in the case of catastrophic events, i.e. they must be aware of, and be able ...

One of the major concerns decision makers face in deciding whether to accept a contract for transport and burial of hazardous wastes is whether there will be spillage during transportation and/or leakage after burial, both ...

Environmental companies bidding on multiple projects are presented with the opportunity for diversification in several areas of the environmental market but, also, with the risk of exposure to uncertain events that can ...
