This book provides viewpoints on a cross-sectoral, multiscale assessment of food and livelihood security in changing climate, the main global threats of the 21st century.
This book explains the dynamics of natural systems - the geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere - and their interactions, along with the human contribution to naturally occurring processes, which is one of the most urgent and practically important scientific problems of our age.

This book explores the possibilities of understanding the concept of climate refugees in order to ascribe to a consensual agreement that climate refugees are evident and this situation is a reality.
Today, given the well-publicized impacts of events such as El Nino, there is an unequaled public awareness of how climate affects the quality of life and environment.
This book explores the possibilities of understanding the concept of climate refugees in order to ascribe to a consensual agreement that climate refugees are evident and this situation is a reality.
Earned Outstanding Academic Title distinction for Earth Sciences titles 2010 from the library magazine CHOICE While the human imprint is becoming increasingly apparent, Earth's climate has shifted dramatically and frequently during the last few million years, alternating between ice ages, when vast glaciers covered Northern Europe and much of North America, and interglacials - warm periods much like today.
This book initiates multipolar climate/clime studies of the world's altitudinal and latitudinal highlands with terrestrial, experiential, and affective approaches.
Climatology is the study of climate, scientifically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of time, Traditionally it is regarded as a branch of the atmospheric sciences and a subfield of physical geography; however, with recent increases in scope this is no longer appropriate, as it now includes aspects of oceanography and biogeochemistry.
Dieses Buch bietet eine Einführung in die meteorologischen Randbedingungen für die Stromerzeugung aus Wind - sowohl an Land als auch auf See - und liefert meteorologische Informationen für die Planung und den Betrieb dieser wichtigen erneuerbaren Energiequelle.
Earth's climate varies even without human influence but the acceleration in the changing pattern with cause and effect by/to the civilisation is a matter of concern to scientists.
In Asia and the Pacific, climate change is now a well-recognised risk to water security but responses to this risk are either under reported, or continue to be guided by the incremental or business as usual approaches.
The book provides an overview relevant to various biological mechanisms that regulate carbon exchanges between the major components and their response to climate change.
This book explores global implications of human activities that trigger changes in climate and the appropriate scientific, adaptive, and sustainable approaches as a proven information tool.

This book provides an important overview of how climate-driven natural hazards like river or pluvial floods, droughts, heat waves or forest fires, continue to play a central role across the globe in the 21st century.
This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of climate change-related investigations carried out by Indian researchers through initiatives in southern high latitude regions.
