Abstract

On June 25, 2013, President Obama announced a national ""Climate Action Plan"" (CAP) to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, as well as to encourage adaptation to expected climate change. One of the more significant initiatives within the CAP focused on the control of methane emissions, a potent short-lived climate pollutant. It called for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, Interior, Labor, and Transportation to develop a comprehensive interagency ""Strategy to Reduce Methane Emissions"" (Strategy). The Strategy

Abstract

Methane Emissions from Unique Wetlands in China: Case Studies, Meta Analyses and Modelling is a landmark volume in the development of studies about methane emission from wetlands. Although there are books about methane emissions from rice paddies, natural wetlands and reservoirs, this book is the first one that provides information about methane emission from wetlands in China. Moreover, the book picks up very unique wetlands, alpine wetlands on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, and Three Gorges Reservoir (the world's largest hydroelectric reservoir) as cases to study methane emissions. It reviews and meta-analyses methane emissions from rice paddies, natural wetlands and lakes in China during the past twenty years. Furthermore, this book acts as bridge to connect microbial ecology and modelling: it both describes methane-producing bacteria dynamics and methane emission modelling.

Abstract

Forte de son succès, témoin de l’évolution des connaissances comme des technologies, La méthanisation fait aujourd’hui l’objet d’une troisième édition. Les contributions de trente spécialistes, chercheurs ou professionnels du secteur reconnus internationalement, dressent un panorama complet des aspects fondamentaux nécessaires à la connaissance du processus de méthanisation et à son exploitation. Cinq parties constituent cet ouvrage : Présentation de la microbiologie et de la mise en œuvre du processus ; Aspects législatifs : réglementation et sécurité ; Technologies de la méthanisation appliquées aux effluents et technologies appliquées aux déchets (urbains ou agricoles) ; Modes de valorisation du biogaz ; Aspects économiques. Alors que la France progresse en matière de traitement des déchets et de production d’énergie verte, les acteurs potentiels du secteur, en particulier les agences d’ingénierie et de conception, doivent encore approfondir leur connaissance du processus de méthanisation et des technologies pouvant être mises en œuvre pour l’exploiter. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage se sont fixé pour objectif de les y aider. Pour cela, ils ont choisi de consacrer une large place au génie des procédés et de multiplier les exemples concrets de mises en œuvre françaises, européennes ou plus lointaines. La méthanisation constitue également une somme d’informations unique en langue française pour les étudiants se spécialisant dans les domaines de l’environnement, des énergies renouvelables, du développement durable ou du génie des procédés.

Abstract

Deep subsurface microbiology is a highly active and rapidly advancing research field at the interface of microbiology and the geosciences; it focuses on the detection, identification, quantification, cultivation and activity measurements of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes that permeate the subsurface biosphere of deep marine sediments and the basaltic ocean and continental crust. The deep subsurface biosphere abounds with uncultured, only recently discovered and – at best - incompletely understood microbial populations. In spatial extent and volume, Earth’s subsurface biosphere is only rivaled by the deep sea water column. So far, no deep subsurface sediment has been found that is entirely devoid of microbial life; microbial cells and DNA remain detectable at sediment depths of more than 1 km; microbial life permeates deeply buried hydrocarbon reservoirs, and is also found several kilometers down in continental crust aquifers. Severe energy limitation, either as electron acceptor or donor shortage, and scarcity of microbially degradable organic carbon sources are among the evolutionary pressures that have shaped the genomic and physiological repertoire of the deep subsurface biosphere. Its biogeochemical role as long-term organic carbon repository, inorganic electron and energy source, and subduction recycling engine continues to be explored by current research at the interface of microbiology, geochemistry and biosphere/geosphere evolution. This Research Topic addresses some of the central research questions about deep subsurface microbiology and biogeochemistry: phylogenetic and physiological microbial diversity in the deep subsurface; microbial activity and survival strategies in severely energy-limited subsurface habitats; microbial activity as reflected in process rates and gene expression patterns; biogeographic isolation and connectivity in deep subsurface microbial communities; the ecological standing of subsurface biospheres in comparison to the surface biosphere – an independently flourishing biosphere, or mere survivors that tolerate burial (along with organic carbon compounds), or a combination of both? Advancing these questions on Earth’s deep subsurface biosphere redefines the habitat range, environmental tolerance, activity and diversity of microbial life.

Abstract

Worldwide, hydropower is a crucial power supply option for several reasons. First, it is a renewable energy resource that can contribute to sustainable development by generating local, typically inexpensive power. Second, hydropower reduces reliance on imported fuels that carry the risks of price volatility, supply uncertainty and foreign currency requirements. Third, hydro systems can offer multiple co-benefits including water storage for drinking and irrigation, drought-preparedness, flood control protection, aquaculture and recreational opportunities, among others. Finally, hydro can allow more renewables, especially wind and solar, to be added to the system by providing rapid-response power when intermittent sources are off-line, and pumped energy storage when such sources are generating excess power.
