Description

Social and Scientific Uncertainties in Environmental Law explores how environmental law can be better developed and utilised to address environmental issue, and addresses the knowledge gaps and uncertainties in the legislative, administrative and judicial branches. Due to its multidisciplinary approach, this volume offers a fresh perspective, with each contribution providing a novel insight into the uncertainty of scientific understanding and making a valuable contribution to the field of environmental law. There is an urgent need for a variety of disciplines to come together to develop a common language to tackle the environmental issues besetting our world today, which this volume strives to meet.

Author Biography:

Joseph McMullen is a lecturer in law at Bournemouth University. His research focuses on the legal regulation of particulate pollution, and the impacts of air pollution on human health and wellbeing. Iain Green has spent the last 30 years working in higher education, gaining his PhD in environmental biology in 2003. The main focus of his research is the environmental effects of pollution. This work has encompassed terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems, covering all levels of biology, from the cell to communities. Iain is currently deputy head of the Department of Life and Environmental Sciences at Bournemouth University, and leads soil protection research in the Environment & Threats Strategic Research Group. Alain Simons is a senior lecturer in games programming, and a researcher in computer graphics and digital visualisation images. His main research is on novel techniques to reduce the file size of colourful images distributed over digital networks without the loss of image quality, therefore reducing their energy load and the ecological footprint of, for example, the Internet. Patrick Van Calster obtained his PhD from Huddersfield University (UK). He is a criminologist with roots in philosophy. His research is both applied-driven and theoretically sophisticated and broadly concerns three interconnected topics: crime governance and policing; critical criminology, with a focus on (the violation of) human rights and privacy, (social) media, (alternative) measures of punishment, precautionary societies, and inequality and the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion; and cultural criminology (such as lifestyle, edgework, language and images/symbols). Tilak Ginige is a senior lecturer in environmental law at Bournemouth University's Faculty of Science and Technology. His research interests include renewable energy, mining waste, the Water Framework Directive, environmental liability, rights to nature and sustainable development law.
