商品描述
This open access book presents a timely, urgent, and comprehensive exploration of water from multiple disciplinary perspectives. Framed by the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), the EU's Water Resilience Strategy, and the growing climate and water crisis, it offers critical insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of water governance, sustainability, and resilience.
Climate change is intensifying water-related challenges globally--affecting water availability, exacerbating extreme weather events, and undermining the predictability and safety of water supplies. As such, this book argues that the climate crisis is fundamentally a water crisis, and that an integrated, systems-level approach is critical to understanding and addressing it.
The book will explore the interconnected roles of chemistry, biology, engineering, social sciences, governance, and economics in managing and protecting water resources. It emphasises how shifts in water systems have profound implications for human health, biodiversity, economic development, and global security. This book highlights the urgent need to incorporate water education in primary and secondary schools to increase society's water and ocean literacy.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的書籍從多個學科的角度，對水資源進行了及時、緊迫且全面的探討。該書以聯合國可持續發展海洋科學十年（2021-2030）、歐盟的水資源韌性策略以及日益嚴重的氣候與水資源危機為框架，提供了對塑造水資源治理、可持續性和韌性未來的挑戰與機遇的關鍵見解。
氣候變遷正在全球加劇與水相關的挑戰——影響水的可用性、加劇極端氣候事件，並削弱水供應的可預測性和安全性。因此，本書主張氣候危機根本上是一場水危機，並且採取綜合的系統性方法對於理解和應對這一危機至關重要。
本書將探討化學、生物學、工程學、社會科學、治理和經濟學在管理和保護水資源方面的相互作用。它強調水系統的變化對人類健康、生物多樣性、經濟發展和全球安全具有深遠的影響。本書突顯了在中小學中納入水資源教育的迫切需求，以提高社會對水和海洋的素養。

Dr Eilish McLoughlin is an Associate Professor in the School of Physical Sciences at Dublin City University (DCU). She is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics. Dr McLoughlin has been a leader of physics education research and physics teacher education at Dublin City University since 2000 and has led a range of national and international programmes aimed at improving in-service teachers' competence and confidence to teach physics/STEM at early childhood, primary and secondary level. Eilish is passionate teacher and researcher in physics/STEM Education and has received the Women in STEM Outstanding Achievement Award (2023), Institute of Physics Lawrence Bragg Medal (2022) and Institute of Physics Lise Meitner Medal (2019).
Dr Yan Delauré is an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Dublin City University and Deputy Director of the DCU Water Institute. He has played a leading role in the development of highly specialised experimental platforms and simulation models to support studies in areas ranging from hydraulic engineering to the hydrodynamics of marine systems. His research interests in fluid dynamics cover fluid structure interactions with a focus on highly flexible thin structures, mass transfers in multiphase flows, and turbulent flow in turbomachines. Yan has a special interest in the hydrodynamics of marine renewable energy technology and the fascinating transformation they must face when colonised by marine life.
