Environmental Safety
by Fedorova Irina Viktorovna , Pavel Maryandyshev , Alexey Kangash- 4.6
Approx. 12 hours to complete
Energy is an important part of the world today. Without energy production is impossible, development is impossible, life itself is impossible. Any activity is somehow connected to the energy industry. The future development of the world depends on progress in the energy sector. This becomes even more important in the future as the population grows....
Climate Change and Water in Mountains: A Global Concern
by Martin Beniston , Markus Stoffel- 4.7
Approx. 17 hours to complete
What is climate change ? How are mountain regions affected by the evolution of water resources and their uses ? What kind of risks need to be considered ? Mountains are recognized as particularly sensitive physical environments where intense and rapid changes have in the past, and may increasingly in the future, place pressure on their resource base....
