The book describes the methods and technologies to assess, monitor and mitigate mining impacts on marine environments, and also suggests various approaches for environmental management when conducting deep-sea mining. The volume brings together information and data for researchers, contractors, mining companies, regulators, and NGOs working in the field of deep-sea mining. Section 1 highlights the various environmental issues and discusses methods and approaches that can help in developing environmentally sustainable deep-sea mining. Section 2 details the results and outcomes of studies related to impact assessment of deep-sea mining, and proposes methods for monitoring. Section 3 discusses the need and means for developing data standards and their application to deep-sea mining. Section 4 discusses the policies, approaches, and practices related to deep-sea mining, suggests formats for developing environmental impact statements (EIS) and environmental management plans (EMP), and describes national and international regulations for environmental management. Section 5 concludes the text by putting deep-sea economic activities into an environmental context and conducting techno-economic analyses of deep-sea mining and processing. 000890251 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on June 25, 2019). 000890251 650_0 $$aMines and mineral resources$$xEnvironmental aspects. 000890251 650_0 $$aOcean mining$$xEnvironmental aspects. 000890251 650_0 $$aEarth sciences. 000890251 650_0 $$aOceanography. 000890251 7001_ $$aSharma, Rahul,$$eeditor. 000890251 852__ $$bebk 000890251 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-12696-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000890251 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:890251$$pGLOBAL_SET 000890251 980__ $$aEBOOK 000890251 980__ $$aBIB 000890251 982__ $$aEbook 000890251 983__ $$aOnline 000890251 994__ $$a92$$bISE
