联合国教科文组织《管道工程》百科全书的编著及内容概述

Encyclopedia of Pipeline Engineering under the auspices of the UNESCO

随着全球油气管道建设的蓬勃发展,"管道工程"作为一门新兴交叉学科,已经形成了内容丰富且独具特色的知识体系。2006年,联合国教科文组织《生命支持系统》大百科全书(Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems,EOLSS)编辑部邀请卡尔加里大学终身教授、管道工程领域加拿大首席科学家、美国腐蚀工程师协会会士程玉峰博士担任主编,组织国际知名专家撰写了全球首部《管道工程》百科全书。全书包括10本系列丛书,全方位介绍了管道工程各个技术领域的相关知识,对于管道建设、国家政策制定、工业标准发展与研发指导等,具有重要意义。

With rapid development of the global oil/gas industry and pipeline construction, the ＂Pipeline Engineering＂ as an emerging academic discipline has become a multidisciplinary program with a unique knowledge base. In 2006, the Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems （EOLSS） published under the auspices of UNESCO invited Dr. Frank Cheng to serve as the Editor of the Theme of Pipeline Engineering. Dr. Cheng is a tenured professor and Canada Research Chair in Pipeline Engineering at the University of Calgary, and the elected Fellow of NACE International the Corrosion Society. He invited a number of internationally reputed experts and scholars and formed a strong team to complete an encyclopedia on Pipeline Engineering, the first of its kind in history. The encyclopedia contains 10 series of books, covering almost all aspects and technical topics in the area of pipeline engineering. It is strategically important to the development of pipeline program, new pipeline projects and industry standards. It also serves as a critical guideline to the further research and development activities in pipeline engineering.
