The contents of this monograph are two-scope. First, it intends to provide a synthetic but complete account of the thermodynamic and kinetic foundations on which the reaction path modeling of geological CO2 sequestration is based. In particular, a great effort is devoted to review the thermodynamic properties of CO2 and of the CO2-H2O system and the interactions in the aqueous solution, the thermodynamic stability of solid product phases (by means of several stability plots and activity plots), the volumes of carbonation reactions, and especially the kinetics of dissolution/precipitation reactions of silicates, oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates. Second, it intends to show the reader how reaction path modeling of geological CO2 sequestration is carried out. To this purpose the well-known high-quality EQ3/6 software package is used. Setting up of computer simulations and obtained results are described in detail and used EQ3/6 input files are given to guide the reader step-by-step from the beginning to the end of these exercises. Finally, some examples of reaction-path- and reaction-transport-modeling taken from the available literature are presented. The results of these simulations are of fundamental importance to evaluate the amounts of potentially sequestered CO2, and their evolution with time, as well as the time changes of all the other relevant geochemical parameters (e.g., amounts of solid reactants and products, composition of the aqueous phase, pH, redox potential, effects on aquifer porosity). In other words, in this way we are able to predict what occurs when CO2 is injected into a deep aquifer. * Provides applications for investigating and predicting geological carbon dioxide sequestration * Reviews the geochemical literature in the field * Discusses the importance of geochemists in the multidisciplinary study of geological carbon dioxide sequestration.

"The world is in the midst of a storm that has shaped the history of modernity along a double fracture: on the one hand, an environmental fracture driven by a technocratic and capitalist civilization that led to the ongoing devastation of the Earth's ecosystems and its human and non-human communities and, on the other, a colonial fracture instilled by Western colonization and imperialism that resulted in racial slavery and the domination of indigenous peoples and women in particular. In this important new book, Malcom Ferdinand challenges this double fracture, thinking from the Caribbean world. Here, the slave ship reveals the inequalities that continue during the storm: some are shackled inside the hold and even thrown overboard at the first gusts of wind. Drawing on empirical and theoretical work in the Caribbean, Ferdinand conceptualizes a decolonial ecology that holds protecting the environment together with the political struggles against (post)colonial domination, structural racism, and misogynistic practices. Facing the storm, this book is an invitation to build a world-ship where humans and non-humans can live together on a bridge of justice and shape a common world. It will be of great interest to students and scholars in environmental humanities and Latin American and Caribbean studies, as well as anyone interested in ecology, slavery, and (de)colonization"--

The goal of this monograph is to emphasize with empirical data the complexity of the relationship between climate change and violence. Bioarchaeology is the integration of human skeletal remains from ancient societies with the cultural and environmental context. Information on mortality, disease, diet and other factors provide important data to examine long chronologies of human existence, particularly during periods of droughts and life-threatening climate changes. Case studies are used to reconstruct the responses and short and long-term adaptations made by groups before, during and after dramatic changes in weather and climate. Interpersonal and group violence is also analyzed. The authors find that while in some cases there is an increase in trauma and violence, in other cases there is not. Human groups are capable of avoiding violent altercations and increasing broad networks of cooperation that help to mitigate the effects of climate change. A case study from the U.S. Southwest is provided that shows the variable and surprising ways that ancient farmers in the past dealt with long term droughts.

In 2022 zijn de termen ‘duurzaamheid’ en ‘duurzame ontwikkeling’ niet meer weg te denken uit de media en het maatschappelijk debat. Ook onder juristen is er in toenemende mate meer interesse om duurzaamheid als uitgangspunt voor onderzoek en onderwijs te nemen. Centraal in het debat staat momenteel de ecologische duurzaamheid in het kader van klimaatverandering en de noodzaak om een oplossing te vinden voor de te grote uitstoot van broeikasgassen.Het privaatrecht, zijnde het onderdeel van het recht dat de verhoudingen tussen burgers reguleert en vooral faciliteert, speelt daarbij op het eerste oog wellicht geen belangrijke rol. Toch is er zeer veel te zeggen om nu juist ook het privaatrecht te betrekken. Het privaatrecht is namelijk bij uitstek een rechtsgebied dat hieraan een bijdrage kan leveren. Door niet alleen publiekrechtelijk af te dwingen of prikkels te scheppen, maar vooral ook privaatrechtelijk te faciliteren, kunnen burgers en bedrijven zelf actie ondernemen. Vanuit verschillende privaatrechtelijke deelgebieden, zoals het ondernemingsrecht, het contractenrecht, het aansprakelijkheidsrecht en het goederenrecht wordt hier al volop over nagedacht.Deze vaststelling vormde een uitstekende reden om in mei 2021 dankzij de gulle steun van het Tijdschrift voor Privaatrecht verschillende privaatrechtelijke perspectieven uit de lage landen en Zuid-Afrika bij elkaar te brengen tijdens het TPR-colloquium ‘Privaatrecht 2050. De weg naar ecologische duurzaamheid’. Het boek dat u in handen houdt, vormt de schriftelijke neerslag van dit colloquium, dat op die wijze ontsnapt aan de vluchtigheid van iedere mondelinge discussie en ook relevant wordt voor wie niet aanwezig kon zijn. De bedoeling van dit verslagboek gaat echter verder: het is namelijk ook de expliciete doelstelling om een aanzet te geven tot een onderzoeksagenda voor de subdiscipline ‘Privaatrecht en duurzaamheid’ voor de komende jaren.
