Materials and the Environment, Third Edition: Chapter 11 - Renewable materials, natural materials, Volume , 2021
This book chapter advances SDGs 9 and 12 by exploring whether renewable materials, derived wholly or in part from nature, can play a larger role in the engineering economy of the 21st century.
This book chapter advances SDGs 12 and 13 by proposing solutions based on algae and on key players who utilize them in a healthy functioning of the global ecosystem.

Agricultural Waste Diversity and Sustainability Issues, Sub-Saharan Africa as a Case Study, 2021, Pages 97-118
This book chapter addresses SDG 7 and 12 by explaining how biofuel made from producing crops can lend to sustainable agricultural solutions for developing countries with sub-Saharan Africa used as a case study.
This chapter advances SDG 6, 12, and 13 by examining the emergence of water sustainability aspects in recent virtual water trade (VWT) literature, highlights the recent advances and remaining issues in evaluating the water sustainability of agriculture globally, and makes recommendations for future scientific research and societal change: consider groundwater both at the local scale and at the global scale; improve our understanding of groundwater storage and dynamics with new models and data; and raise the profile of groundwater sustainability in governance frameworks to eventually end environmental damages of groundwater exploitation.
This chapter advances SDG 6, 12, and 13 by explaining the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow On (GRACE-FO) missions that have greatly benefitted the modeling and monitoring of groundwater storage changes and drought at the global scale. In this chapter, we first review environmental controls on the temporal variability of groundwater using in situ data. We then describe an approach that infuses GRACE and GRACE-FO observations into a land surface model for assessing groundwater storage changes and drought globally.
This book chapter addresses SDGs 2 and 12 by explaining the significance of the GM crop and how it will help save an undernourished population from food insecurity.
