Beschreibung
This book gives a general overview on current research focusing on geoenvironmental issues and challenges in hydrogeosciences in the Middle East and Mediterranean region and surrounding areas. The book is based on the accepted papers for oral/poster presentations at the 3rd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-3). Studies discuss the latest advances in geoenvironmental and hydrogeosciences from diverse backgrounds including climate change, geoecology, biogeochemistry, water resources management, and environmental monitoring and assessment. It shares insights on how the understanding of ecological, climatological, oceanic, and hydrological processes is the key for improving practices in environment management. It is of interest to scientists, engineers, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of environmental sciences including climatology, oceanography, ecology, biogeochemistry, environmental management, hydrology, hydrogeology, and geosciences in general. In particular, this book is of great value to students and environment-related professionals for further investigations on the state of earth systems.

Amjad Kallel:ENIS, University of Sfax, Sfax, Tunisia Dr. Amjad Kallel is currently Associate Professor of Environmental Geology in the Sfax National School of Engineers at the University of Sfax, Tunisia. He holds a B.Eng. in Georesources and Environment (1998) from the University of Sfax (Tunisia) and a M.Sc. degree and a Ph.D. degree in Georesources and Environment (2004) from Hokkaido University (Japan). He joined Venture Business Laboratory (VBL) at Akita University, Japan (2005-2006), as Researcher focusing on refining and recycling technologies for the recovery of rare elements from natural and secondary sources. On his return to Tunisia, he worked at the University of Gabes from 2006 to 2011, where he contributed to the elaboration of teaching programs at the Higher Institute of Water Sciences and Technologies of Gabes. Since 2011, he has joined the Sfax National School of Engineers. There, he has also been involved in various researchprojects related to Environmental Geology and Environmental Geotechnics. Dr. Kallel has co-organized many prestigious workshops, seminars, and international conferences. In 2016, Dr. Kallel joined the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (Springer) and the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration (Springer) as Chief Editor and Managing Editor, respectively. Maurizio Barbieri:Department of Chemical Engineering Materials Environment, Faculty of Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, Italy Prof. Barbieri holds a degree in Geological Sciences (1994) and a Ph.D. degree in Earth Sciences (1998) from Sapienza University of Rome, (Italy). He is currently Full Professor of Environmental Geochemistry and Hydrogeochemistry at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy). Job-related skills: Geochemical tracers in hydrological studies; interactions between water and the geological and chemical environment; quantitative understanding of chemically based processes in hydrogeochemical environments and complementary physical and biological processes and conditions; kinetics and equilibria of geochemical reactions; the movement of isotopes and soil chemistry; freshwater-seawater interactions in coastal aquifers; basic and applied research on speciation and transformation of trace metals and metalloids during biogeochemical processes in both natural and anthropogenic environments; and radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry. Other fields of expertise are Ion chromatography, ICP-MS, water, soil, and geological mapping, univariate and multivariate analysis of geochemical Jesus Rodrigo-Comino:University of Granada, Granada, Germany Dr. Jesús Rodrigo-Comino, graduated in Geography, currently works as Assistant Professor at the University of Granada. He carried out a thesis with an extraordinary degree award with the work: "The soils of the province of Malaga: Revision according to the classification criteria of FAO-WRB (2006)". He holds a master's degree in Territorial Planning and Geographic Information Systems (2013) from the University of Granada, whose final work was divided into 3 national publications and a monograph. During his predoc stage, he obtained three scholarships for doctoral studies: DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), La Caixa Foundation, and FPU (Ministry of Education, Spain). During this period, he completed his doctoral thesis between the University of Trier (Germany2 years) and Malaga (2 years) and Doctor in Geography (2018) from the University of Malaga with a doctoral thesis consisting of 8 international publications, international mention, and outstanding cum laude: Actual geomorphological processes in sloping vineyards. A comparison between Ruwer-Mosel Valley (Trier, Germany) and Montes de Málaga (Málaga, Spain). Currently, he is also preparing a second doctorate in Geomatics engineering atthe Polytechnic University of Valencia. His research career consists of four full monographs (Nova, Springer, etc.) and one edited alone (Elsevier), 171 indexed publications (Scopus)/130 JCR, leading international collaborations with research teams multidisciplinary geosciences research, consultancy, and practice. He studied geological engineering and geology (B.Sc., 1990) at the Universities of Aveiro and Porto (Portugal), respectively. He received his Ph.D. in geology at the University of Porto in 2000 and spent his postdoctoral research in applied geosciences at the University of Aveiro (2001-2003). In 2011, he received his Habilitation (D.Sc.) in geosciences from the University of Aveiro. Before joining the academy, he worked for over a decade on international projects for mining, geotechnics, groundwater industry, and/oracademia related to geodynamics and regional geology, hard rock hydrogeology and water resources, engineering geosciences and applied geomorphology, rock engineering, and georesources. His research interests span fundamental to applied fields: GIS mapping techniques for applied geology, structural geology and regional geology, engineering geosciences and rock engineering, slope geotechnics, mining geology and hydrogeomechanics, hard rock hydrogeology, exploration hydrogeology, urban groundwater, and hydromineral resources. He is interested in mining geoheritage, history of cartography, military geosciences, and higher-education dissemination, skills, and core values. Presently, he is Head of the Laboratory of Cartography and Applied Geology (LABCARGA - ISEP), Senior Researcher at Centre GeoBioTec - U.Aveiro and Centre IDL - U.Lisbon, as well as belongs to the executive board of the M.Sc.+B.Sc. Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering Programs (OE+EUR-ACE Label) and the Departmentof Geotechnical Engineering (ISEP). He currently belongs to the board of the Technical Commission of Environmental Geotechnics from SPG. He was Board Member of APGeomPortuguese Association of Geomorphologists (2009-2013), SPGPortuguese Geotechnical Society (2016-2020), APG Portuguese Association of Geologists (2020-2021), and AIH-GPPortuguese Chapter of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (2019-2022). He was Consultant and or responsible for over 75 projects of applied geology, hydrogeomechanics, slope geotechnics, mining geology, exploration hydrogeology, hard rock hydrogeology, water resources, urban groundwater, and applied mapping (Mozambique, Portugal, and Spain).
