دانلود کتاب Communicating Environmental Geoscience - Special Publication no 305 (Geological Society Special Publication) (No. 305)

This collection of papers addresses the issues surrounding communication of environmental geoscience. Geologists whose research deals with environmental problems such as landslides, floods, earthquakes and other natural hazards that affect people's health and safety, must communicate their results effectively to the public, policy makers and politicians. There are many examples of geological studies being ignored in policy and public action; this is in due in part to geoscientists being poor communicators. These papers document issues in communicating environmental geoscience, outline successes and failures through case studies, describes ways in which geoscientists can improve communication skills and show how new methods can make communication more effective.Also available:Climate Change and Groundwater - ISBN 978-1-86239-235-9Mapping Hazardous Terrain using Remote Sensing - ISBN 978-1-86239-229-8Natural and Anthropogenic Hazards in Karst Areas: Recognition, Analysis and Mitigation - ISBN 978-1-86239-224-3The Geological Society of LondonFounded in 1807, the Geological Society of London is the oldest geological society in the world, and one of the largest publishers in the Earth sciences.The Society publishes a wide range of high-quality peer-reviewed titles for academics and professionals working in the geosciences, and enjoys an enviable international reputation for the quality of its work.The many areas in which we publish in include:-Petroleum geology-Tectonics, structural geology and geodynamics-Stratigraphy, sedimentology and paleontology-Volcanology, magmatic studies and geochemistry-Remote sensing-History of geology-Regional geology guides
