Climate Resilience in Bridge Engineering
This study proposes a focused inquiry into bridge engineering as it intersects with clima…
Bridge EngineeringView BookRather than surveying an entire discipline, this environmental science and systems guide focuses on Circular Product Design. Under the 'Core Science' editorial lens, the chapters identify the system and scientific boundary under study, guiding readers toward a transparent comparison across systems, measures, and trade-offs.
Introduction — Circular Product Design: Core Science (Sustainable Technology Systems) 1. Why Circular Product Design Is a Systems Question 2. Defining the Spatial and Time Scales — the implications of core science 3. Core Science and Mechanisms — evidence surrounding circular product design 4. Selecting Relevant Evidence and Indicators — a case framed by core science 5. Mapping Feedbacks and Side Effects — an inquiry into circular product design 6. The Core Science Perspective 7. A Regional or Sectoral Comparison — evidence surrounding circular product design 8. Approaches to Measurement — a case framed by core science 9. Policy and Technology Trade-offs — an inquiry into circular product design 10. Economic and Social Considerations — the implications of core science 11. Uncertainty and Contested Findings — evidence surrounding circular product design 12. Applied Evidence Review — a case framed by core science Conclusion — Synthesis, Limitations, and Further Study
