Cesar A. Poveda is a scientist in sustainability with technical knowledge in nine distinctive areas: policy; resilience; sustainable engineering; sustainability assessment; sustainable construction; sustainability management; sustainability theory and fundamentals; renewable resources and energy systems; and business and corporate sustainability. His technical background is supported by a BSc in Civil Engineering, an MEng. in Sustainable Energy Engineering, an MSc. in Construction Engineering & Management, and a PhD in Engineering Management, as well as the Project Management Professional (PMP) and Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) certifications. In addition to his first book, Surface Mining Operations in Oil Sands: Establishing Sustainable Development Indicators (SDIs), Cesar has published several peer-reviewed journal and conference manuscripts. While serving as editor and reviewer for over six hundred scientifically authored manuscripts, he has obtained, among other recogniztions, several Outstanding Reviewer Awards granted by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
