The present model and methodology described in Part I of this work are applied to perform a comprehensive risk analysis of the dam-break flood of five reservoirs in the Haihe River Basin, China. The results indicate that the three-dimensional numerical simulation considering complex terrain can...

Dam-break floods have been of increasing concern to safety engineers and decision makers. The presence of complex terrain in inundation areas multiplies the simulation difficulty of flood routing. In previous studies, representing the flood routing parameters empirically does not reflect the...

Canada's natural endowment of abundant energy resources, both fossil fuels and renewables, provide a level of energy security and supplies that are an envy of many nations. However, corporations continue to focus on investing in Canada's infrastructure for the oil and gas export opportunities to...

Independent power producers (IPPs) investing across borders represent a crucial sector that produces an adverse impact on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The main purpose of this study is to articulate issues pertinent to sustainability performance among contemporary IPPs which seek funding from...

Greenhouse gas emission (GHG) has been increasingly a sensitive issue that is across border and impacting global public interests. While the use of renewable energy technology is perceived as a means to enable delivery of emission-free solutions, its penetration into the energy market has not...
