Download or read book Social and Environmental Impacts in the North Methods in Evaluation of Socio Economic and Environmental Consequences of Mining and Energy Production in the Arctic and Sub Arctic written by Rasmus Ole Rasmussen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Future development in the Arctic and Subarctic region requires careful attention to the possible consequences of the development activities themselves, in relation to their environmental, socioeconomic and cultural impacts. A more thorough understanding of the impact of future activities, however, demands the dissemination and confrontation of results from different regions and different scientific traditions. This requires scientific cooperation, not only across disciplines but across border. Primarily it requires both consensus and innovations in regard to methods. This book confronts such differences in approaches and methods in relation to the analysis of socioeconomic and environmental consequences of large-scale mineral and energy development activities in the Arctic and Subarctic, establishing the common ground upon which future research activities can be based.
Download or read book Impact Analysis of the Dempster Highway Culvert on the Physical Environment and Fish Resources of Frog Creek written by R. L. Dryden and published by winnipeg : Department of supply and services. This book was released on 1974 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of improper culvert design and effects on the hydrology and fish biology of Frog Creek, N.W.T. are discussed. Fish migration discharge design, as required by Fisheries and Marine Service for northern highway culverts, is defined. Bank erosion downstream from the culvert caused retreat of the river bank at a rate of 15 cm per day. Siltation of the stream resulting from construction was evident, but apperaed to be insignificant. High water velocities within the culvert blocked the spawning migration of approximately 600 northern pike and appeared to block movements of some broad whitefish. It was estimated that only a small proportion of the total pike population of the Frog Creek drainage was blocked by the culvert. No physiological effects of the culvert delay on ripe pike were evident.

Download or read book Laser Scanning Systems in Highway and Safety Assessment written by Biswajeet Pradhan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to promote the core understanding of a proper modelling of road traffic accidents by deep learning methods using traffic information and road geometry delineated from laser scanning data. The first two chapters of the book introduce the reader to laser scanning technology with creative explanation and graphical illustrations, review and recent methods of extracting geometric road parameters. The next three chapters present different machine learning and statistical techniques applied to extract road geometry information from laser scanning data. Chapters 6 and 7 present methods for modelling roadside features and automatic road geometry identification in vector data. After that, this book goes on reviewing methods used for road traffic accident modelling including accident frequency and injury severity of the traffic accident (Chapter 8). Then, the next chapter explores the details of neural networks and their performance in predicting the traffic accidents along with a comparison with common data mining models. Chapter 10 presents a novel hybrid model combining extreme gradient boosting and deep neural networks for predicting injury severity of road traffic accidents. This chapter is followed by deep learning applications in modelling accident data using feed-forward, convolutional, recurrent neural network models (Chapter 11). The final chapter (Chapter 12) presents a procedure for modelling traffic accident with little data based on the concept of transfer learning. This book aims to help graduate students, professionals, decision makers, and road planners in developing better traffic accident prediction models using advanced neural networks.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes activities that occurred in the second year (1991/92) of the Beaufort Region Environmental Assessment and Monitoring Program (BREAM). It discusses each of the activities that occurred in the second year of BREAM, including meetings of each of the three Technical Working Groups (Existing Impact Hypothesis, Community-Based Concerns, and Catastrophic Oil Spills), follow up work completed by each group, and an interdisciplinary workshop held to review several existing and new impact hypotheses related to routine aspects of hydrocarbon development and transportation in the study area.

Download or read book Methods for Assessment of Stream related Hazards to Highways and Bridges written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: River behavior at a highway crossing depends not only on the stability of that particular river reach, but also on the behavior of the entire fluvial system of which it is a part. Streams can be divided into five types based on channel pattern and mode of sediment transport. Each stream type exhibits its own characteristic stability. Detailed evaluation involves consideration of many variables. After evaluating stream variables a list of potential stream hazards can be developed. To assess hydraulic hazards at a crossing it is necessary to understand the past, examine the present, and anticipate the future. Methods such as remote sensing, land use evaluation and slope stability analysis should not be overlooked.
