Adaptations and countermeasures for mitigating impacts due to global warming in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering

摘要

This paper describes what will be happened by torrential rainfall and temperature rising due to globalwarming. It also introduces some examples of researches and developments concerning the mentioned-above which arebeing conducted in Ibaraki University. Especially, this paper describes vulnerability of river levees and banks againsttorrential rainfall and degradation of water quality of closed water environment s uch as lake/marsh which will be causedby temperature rising due to global warming. Furthermore, this paper mentions significance of aftercare in damage siteby introducing an exemplum of utilization of disaster waste in the 2004 year Niigata Chuetsu earth quake. Consequently,it describes the author’s philosophy for adaptation and countermeasures against global warming.
