Flowing Progress: Transforming the Danube Through Infrastructure focuses on how different political regimes and forms of governance have imagined and technologically transformed the most international river in the world. Multidisciplinary and drawing on methodologies of history, anthropology of infrastructure, and science, technology, and society, this collection explores the tensions between the river and its natural pulses, the humans that populate its floodplains, state agencies, and infrastructure. The book engages the concept of disturbance to point out the circular and spiraling dynamics between hydrological processes and technopolitical and economic practices. Disturbance denotes a specific type of long-term dynamic between human attempts to control the Danube, the material systems they implemented to achieve these goals, and the agency of the river that both enabled the functioning of infrastructure and the breakdown of such arrangements. It draws particular attention to the concerted efforts to contain and optimize the Danube's flow, adding layer after layer of dams, channels, and pipes that could potentially escalate the power of a leashed river. Taking a longer historical perspective from the sixteenth century until today, the volume provides a variety of relevant case studies and local contexts in the Ottoman and Habsburg empires, and their successor states Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia which show different ways of how humans have imagined and coped with this mighty river.

This handbook explores, contextualizes and critiques the relationship between anthropocentrism - the idea that human beings are socially and politically at the centre of the cosmos - and international law.

Taking advantage of novel and improved technologies in subsurface sensing, this reference provides a practice-oriented overview and comparison of concepts, methods and workflows for the geophysical characterization of hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs, including reservoirs suitable for large-scale carbon sequestration. The first part introduces recent petroleum exploration technologies such as frequency-resonance processing and the of satellite data, backed by case studies from across the world. The second part shows how to integrate different non-invasive surveying methods for a comprehensive reservoir characterization. In the third part, the implementation of artificial intelligence tools in remote exploration, rock typing and fluid prediction is demonstrated. The final part shows how the same methods that are used for hydrocarbon exploration may be applied for the exploration and development of geothermal reservoirs, and to assessing the potential for subsurface carbon dioxide sequestration.
