متن کاملSoil engineering in vivo: harnessing natural biogeochemical systems for sustainable, multi-functional engineering solutions.
Carbon sequestration, infrastructure rehabilitation, brownfields clean-up, hazardous waste disposal, water resources protection and global warming-these twenty-first century challenges can neither be solved by the high-energy consumptive practices that hallmark industry today, nor by minor tweaking or optimization of these processes. A more radical, holistic approach is required to develop the ...
متن کاملSustainable engineering triggers advancements in engineering modeling
The push for greener, sustainable design is universal. Whether it’s in the cars we drive or where we get our energy for our houses, green design has left the periphery of modern engineering and is now a dominant influence in contemporary engineering, often even the most important factor. In essence, sustainable design is designing to do more with less. The green road, however, is turning out to...
