Welcome
to Göran Wall's

Welcome to my home page. I
hope you will find it useful, and please let me know if you have any
suggestions or comments.
I am pleased to offer short online courses on Exergy (200 hours),
Exergy
Analysis (200 hours), Exergy
Economics (200 hours) free of charge. Through Gotland University I can also
offer short online courses on Environmental
Management Systems (EMS) (7.5 ECTS), Energy and Environment (7.5 ECTS,
In Swedish), Small Scale (Sustainable) Energy Systems (7.5 ECTS), Energy and
Sustainability (7.5 ECTS) and Sustainable Energy Technology (7.5 ECTS). These
courses are free of charge and can be applied at http://www.studera.nu or at this link.
There is also a proposal of an online Master of Science in Exergy
and Sustainable Development in corporation with Universidad Industrial de
Santander. Comments on
this proposal and interest applications are welcome!
My background is in Physical Resource Theory and I am engaged in
the Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems
(EOLSS).
EOLSS Mission
"The EOLSS will
represent a comprehensive, authentic, authoritative, organized and integrated
body of knowledge of the science, technology, and management of life support
systems development and use. It is a future oriented document designed to have
a major impact upon professional practice, education, and to heighten social awareness
of critical life support issues. The EOLSS should be shaped into a dependable
source of knowledge that will be broadly useful in humanistic endeavors that
result in the development of remedial measures for issues that have a
potentially destabilizing effect on Earth's Life Support Systems. Science,
technology and management policies for sustainable development of life support
systems are to be emphasized, together with issues of global change and their
ecological, economic, human, social, cultural, and political dimensions. The
EOLSS should support the systematic development of long term sources of water,
energy, and food and agriculture that are essential for global stability,
security, and peace. In addition, the EOLSS must be free from geographic or
religious accent."
Features:
The EOLSS should appeal to
a wide spectrum of users - from the merely curious to those who wish to advance
their knowledge in a very substantial manner. To satisfy diverse purposes and users,
the knowledge portrayal in the EOLSS should have the following characteristics:
1. Popular appeal - through provision
of generally and widely understandable information that is presented in simple
language and which avoids jargon, mathematics and complex diagrams
2. Educational relevance - through
pedagogical presentations that emphasize fundamentals and their applications
3. Professional utility - through
presentation of knowledge practices and useful applications
4. Research relevance - through
presentations that provide knowledge principles that are generally useful for
specialists in related areas of interest
5. Future and policy oriented - through
provision of knowledge perspectives that are useful for obtaining forecasts of
science and technology trends
The spectrum of EOLSS users
may be broadly classified as follows:
·
Professionals
and Practitioners who wish to refresh and update their knowledge, and to relate
their knowledge to applications and to fields cutting across their own domains
·
Researchers
who wish to inform themselves about innovations and new approaches to problems
of their interest
·
Managers
and other Decision Makers who wish to equip themselves with the technical
knowledge required to render their roles more effective
·
Teachers
at universities who wish to prepare for a comprehensive coverage of subjects in
their lectures
·
Students
at the universities who want to introduce themselves to a particular subject by
self study
The EOLSS is available as
printed matter, on CD-ROM and on Internet.
