The rapid increasing of concentrations of anthropologically generated greenhouse gases (primarily CO2) in the atmosphere is responsible for global warming and ocean acidification. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicates that carbon capture and storage (CCS) techniques are a necessary measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the short-to-medium term. One of the technological solutions is the long-term storage of CO2 in appropriate geological formations, such as deep saline formations and depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Promising alternative options that guarantee the permanent capture of CO2, although on a smaller scale, are the in-situ and ex-situ fixation of CO2 in the form of inorganic carbonates via the carbonation of mafic and ultramafic rocks and of Mg/Ca-rich fly ash, iron and steel slags, cement waste, and mine tailings. According to this general framework, this Special Issue collects articles covering various aspects of recent scientific advances in the geological and mineralogical sequestration of CO2. In particular, it includes the assessment of the storage potential of candidate injection sites in Croatia, Greece, and Norway; numerical modelling of geochemical-mineralogical reactions and CO2 flow; studies of natural analogues providing information on the processes and the physical-chemical conditions characterizing serpentinite carbonation; and experimental investigations to better |

Sommario/riassunto |

"Asia as we know it today is the product of a vast range of polity expansions over time. Whether we examine the Guptas, Cholas, Marathas or Mughals in South Asia, the Chinese polities, Nanzhao, the Tibetans, Khitan, Jin, Mongols, Koreans, Japanese or Manchus in East Asia, or the Khmers, Vietnamese, Javanese, Thai, or Burmans in Southeast Asia, aspects of the effects of these expansions are still evident in the region today. However, this fact is not reflected in the longstanding and widely held view that East Asian polities were not interested in expanding their territory. In contrast, this book suggests that East Asian political leaders were indeed concerned with territorial control and expansion, whether for political or strategic advantage, trade purposes, defence needs, agricultural expansion or increased income through taxation. It explores the historical experiences of polity expansion across Asia, specifically in East and Southeast Asia, and reveals how the ways in which Asian polities grew were incredibly diverse in nature. The chapters draw on historical examples to highlight the centrality of the connections between imperial expansion, centralized political structures, and territorial integration to a comprehensive understanding both the past and the present in East Asia. In doing so, they interrogate key ideas such as imperialism and colonialism, and the applicability and relevance of such terminology in Asian contexts, both historical and contemporary"-- |
