Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puisqu’il traite des enjeux énergétiques et climatiques globaux comme locaux, ce travail de thèse est un sujet d’actualité. Il a pour objet d’analyser les initiatives énergétiques locales en Pays de la Loire, dans le contexte des négociations climatiques internationales, des orientations énergétiques communautaires et nationales, et de la politique régionale. Ce travail s’articule autour de trois hypothèses principales. La première stipule que les Energies Renouvelables (EnR) se sont développées en Pays de la Loire à la suite de projets nucléaires locaux. La deuxième avance que les potentiels humains sont plus déterminants que les potentiels énergétiques territoriaux, du moins dans cette phase de prise de conscience ligérienne par les politiques publiques. La troisième indique que des pressions locales ont conduit la Région à appuyer le développement des EnR. Notre recherche porte sur une approche qualitative fondée sur de nombreux entretiens, à laquelle nous avons associé une approche quantitative basée sur le traitement statistique et cartographique de banques de données. La première partie, consacrée aux éléments de contexte, montre que, malgré la mobilisation de la communauté scientifique dèsles années 1970, la prise de conscience des changements climatiques d’origine anthropique est relativement récente. Elle date des années 1990. L’Europe a joué un rôle important dans les négociations climatiques internationales et elle a adopté des objectifs ambitieux (à l’image du Paquet énergie-climat en 2007). Néanmoins, si certains Etats membres comme l’Allemagne sont volontaires pour diminuer leurs émissions de GES et développer les EnR, d’autres Etats comme la France sont beaucoup moins incitatifs. Les deuxième et troisième parties, qui s’intéressent à la région Pays de la Loire, mettent en évidence que, malgré de réels potentiels physiques, les EnR ne représentent qu’une faible part du bouquet énergétique régional. Nous avons établi qu’il existe une concordance entre les potentialités physiques et le nombre d’équipements en EnR. La politique énergétique régionale est également récente, et plus favorable aux EnR et aux économies d’énergie depuis l’arrivée des Verts dans la majorité régionale, en 2004. La montée des mobilisations associatives a également joué un rôle dans la prise en compte des questions énergétiques et climatiques par la Région. Pour organiser notre dernière partie consacrée aux politiques locales, nous avons construit une typologie basée sur de nombreux entretiens. Il en ressort que les potentiels humains, plus que les potentiels physiques, déterminent la mise en place d’une politique énergétique locale. La démarche du Syndicat Départemental d’Energie et d’équipement de la Vendée (SyDEV) fait quelque peu exception puisqu’elle est initialement liée à une volonté de valoriser le potentiel éolien local et de garder la main sur ces ressources. Nous avons mis en évidence que les motifs des politiques énergétiques locales peuvent diverger mais qu’ils s’expliquent généralement par des externalités négatives. Nous avons ainsi montré la concordance entre les mobilisations antinucléaires et la dynamique de la politique énergétique du Pays de Haute Mayenne ; entre les pressions de Nantes, ville centre, et l’originalité de la démarche entreprise par le Pays de Grandlieu Machecoul et Logne ; entre la recherche d’un développement local et la réflexion du PNR Loire Anjou Touraine... Ces initiatives énergétiques locales s’enracinent aussi dans une histoire parfois longue, comme dans le Pays des Mauges. En outre, nos investigations montrent des mobilisations de différentes natures : elles sont individuelles et/ou collectives. Nous avons également étudié l’origine de la sensibilité des pionniers des EnR. Enfin, en nous intéressant aux métropoles ligériennes, nous avons montré la volonté d’exemplarité de Nantes Métropole et l’approche plus opportuniste du Pays du Mans. Par conséquent, derrière l’innovation territoriale, il y a des Hommes, des volontés singulières, liées à un parti politique, à l’héritage de mobilisations environnementales ou sociales, à d’autres types de convictions.

Download or read book Tools in Fluvial Geomorphology written by G. Mathias Kondolf and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluvial Geomorphology studies the biophysical processes acting in rivers, and the sediment patterns and landforms resulting from them. It is a discipline of synthesis, with roots in geology, geography, and river engineering, and with strong interactions with allied fields such as ecology, engineering and landscape architecture. This book comprehensively reviews tools used in fluvial geomorphology, at a level suitable to guide the selection of research methods for a given question. Presenting an integrated approach to the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, it provides guidance for researchers and professionals on the tools available to answer questions on river restoration and management. Thoroughly updated since the first edition in 2003 by experts in their subfields, the book presents state-of-the-art tools that have revolutionized fluvial geomorphology in recent decades, such as physical and numerical modelling, remote sensing and GIS, new field techniques, advances in dating, tracking and sourcing, statistical approaches as well as more traditional methods such as the systems framework, stratigraphic analysis, form and flow characterisation and historical analysis. This book: Covers five main types of geomorphological questions and their associated tools: historical framework; spatial framework; chemical, physical and biological methods; analysis of processes and forms; and future understanding framework. Provides guidance on advantages and limitations of different tools for different applications, data sources, equipment and supplies needed, and case studies illustrating their application in an integrated perspective. It is an essential resource for researchers and professional geomorphologists, hydrologists, geologists, engineers, planners, and ecologists concerned with river management, conservation and restoration. It is a useful supplementary textbook for upper level undergraduate and graduate courses in Geography, Geology, Environmental Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and interdisciplinary courses in river management and restoration.

Download or read book Pollination Services to Agriculture written by Barbara Gemmill-Herren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is only recently that the immense economic value of pollination to agriculture has been appreciated. At the same time, the alarming collapse in populations of bees and other pollinators has highlighted the urgency of addressing this issue. This book focuses on the specific measures and practices that the emerging science of pollination ecology is identifying to conserve and promote animal pollinators in agroecosystems. It reviews the expanding knowledge base on pollination services, providing evidence to document the status, trends and importance of pollinators to sustainable agricultural production. It provides practical and specific measures that land managers can undertake to ensure that agroecosystems are supportive and friendly to pollinators. It draws on the Global Pollination Project, supported by UNEP/GEF and implemented by FAO and seven partner countries (Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan and South Africa), which serve to provide "lessons from the field".

Download or read book Geomorphic Analysis of River Systems written by Kirstie A. Fryirs and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a niche in the geomorphology teaching market, this introductory book is built around a 12 week course in fluvial geomorphology. ‘Reading the landscape’ entails making sense of what a riverscape looks like, how it works, how it has evolved over time, and how alterations to one part of a catchment may have secondary consequences elsewhere, over different timeframes. These place-based field analyses are framed within their topographic, climatic and environmental context. Issues and principles presented in the first part of this book provide foundational understandings that underpin the approach to reading the landscape that is presented in the second half of the book. In reading the landscape, detective-style investigations and interpretations are tied to theoretical and conceptual principles to generate catchment-specific analyses of river character, behaviour and evolution, including responses to human disturbance. This book has been constructed as an introductory text on river landscapes, providing a bridge and/or companion to quantitatively-framed or modelled approaches to landscape analysis that are addressed elsewhere. Key principles outlined in the book emphasise the importance of complexity, contingency and emergence in interpreting the character, behaviour and evolution of any given system. The target audience is second and third year undergraduate students in geomorphology, hydrology, earth science and environmental science, as well as river practitioners who use geomorphic understandings to guide scientific and/or management applications. The primary focus of Kirstie and Gary’s research and teaching entails the use of geomorphic principles as a tool with which to develop coherent scientific understandings of river systems, and the application of these understandings in management practice. Kirstie and Gary are co-developers of the River Styles® Framework and Short Course that is widely used in river management, decision-making and training.
