The primary goals of some Earth-based macroprojects described in this book are power production, land reclamation, food production, climate change, environment, water, transport and coastal protection. Other Earth or space projects considered here have a more futuristic ring, but our present-day technical skill makes their realization possible. Earth-based macroprojects usually combine different aspects and aims. They have a major impact on the ecology of a region and the inhabitants' means of living (like tourism, fishing, shipping). Its effects may be felt worldwide, like the rise in global sea level after the damming and evaporation of large ocean gulfs for power production, or the change in climate following the regional reduction of solar insolation. Audience: This book will be of interest to researchers involved in macroprojects and students of Natural Sciences and Engineering. 0aENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. 0aLIFE SCIENCES. 0aENGINEERING. 0aENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT.14aENVIRONMENT.24aENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT.24aENGINEERING, GENERAL.24aPOPULAR SCIENCE IN NATURE AND ENVIRONMENT.1 aCathcart, Richard B.eeditor.1 aSchuiling, Roelof D.eeditor.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9781402037399 0aWater Science and Technology Library,x0921-092X ;v5440uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-4604-9zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY  aZDB-2-EES  2ddccER  c36865d36865  00102ddc40708LEaCICYbCICYcELd2025-10-06l0o333.7r2025-10-06 08:45:12w2025-10-06yER
