Construction Resources Management in Niger Delta's Coastal Environments: Hydro-Geomorphological Challenges to Sustainability
Abstract: A fundamental principle of sustainability in the built environment is the minimization of resource consumption. Resource management constitutes a key theme in the sustainability agenda, which affects the financial performance of construction projects. Builders are thus concerned with the control of materials, labour and plant. However, resource management poses specialized problems for coastal construction sites, due to their inherent hydro-geomorphological characteristics. The Niger Delta Region of Nigeria is an atypical …

Impact of Urbanization on Biodiversity Hotspot: A Case of Bhubaneswar City
Abstract: Urbanization has contributed to pollution and generation of waste heat leading to changes in the urban heat balance thereby influencing its microclimate. Urban regions confront heightened heat wave conditions due to urban heat island (UHI) impact, which is a result of anthropogenic effects on both surface and atmospheric temperature patterns relative to the natural environment. The investigation was carried out in a 20-km radius around the city of Bhubaneswar. The …
