This study transcends the homogenizing (inter-)national level of argumentation ('rich' versus 'poor' countries), and instead looks at a sub-national level in two respects: (1) geographically it focuses on the rapidly growing megacity of Hyderabad; (2) in socio-economic terms the urban population is disaggregated by taking a lifestyle typology approach.
This book maps extreme temperature increase under dangerous climate change scenarios in Brazil and their impacts on four key sectors: agriculture, health, biodiversity and energy.
The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify.
Climate resilience, or the capacity of socio-ecological systems to adapt and upkeep their functions when facing physical-chemical stress, is a key feature of ecosystems and communities.
This textbook introduces step by step the basic numerical methods to solve the equations governing the motion of the atmosphere and ocean, and describes how to develop a set of corresponding instructions for the computer as part of a code.
Our planet faces a systemic threat from climate change, which the world community of nations is ill-prepared to address, and this book argues that a new form of ecologically conscious capitalism is needed in order to tackle this serious and rising threat.
Eco-innovations are crucial for reducing the environmental damages arising from economic activities, and are one of the main drivers of a successful transition towards sustainable development and remedying essential climate change problems.
The UK Climate Change Act was the first case of a country implementing blanket legally binding long-term emissions reduction targets in order to combat climate change.
The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify.
This book describes the observation of urban climates in Latin-American and their relationships with urban sprawl, the economic emergence of Latin American countries, social segregation, urban ecology, disasters and resilience.
This volume gathers a variety of applications for remote sensing of vegetation health (VH) and concretely shows how this information can be used in service of ending hunger and of ensuring future food security.
Unter der Prämisse, dass ein Klimawandel stattfindet, arbeitet Wolfgang Osterhage eine Problemstellung heraus, die zu Lösungsvorschlägen im Rahmen des Climate Engineering führt, mit welchen das Klima pro-aktiv beeinflusst werden kann.
This book contributes to the on-going debates on climate change by focusing on the SDGs and exploring linkages between environmental change and food security as well as the relevance and need to consider the management of natural resources, especially water, soil and forest.
This volume provides an overview of the climate change adaptation objectives set, actions taken, and challenges faced by several countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
Der Zusammenhang zwischen liberaler Demokratie als Staats- und Lebensform, politischer und ökologischer Bildung und einer angemessenen Einrichtung und Neuausrichtung menschlicher Naturverhältnisse im Lichte des Klimawandels ist nicht zuletzt auf Grund der Bewegung „Fridays for Future“ ein Thema, das in der aktuellen öffentlichen Selbstverständigung dauerpräsent ist.
Dieses Lehrbuch behandelt alle wichtigen Aspekte zu Gebirgsgletschern, von ihrer Entstehung über ihre Bedeutung als Wasserspeicher bis hin zu ihrer Bedrohung durch die aktuelle Klimaerwärmung.
Überschwemmungen, Artensterben, Völkerwanderungen, Dürren, Supertornados - der Klimawandel ist keine am Horizont drohende Gefahr mehr, sondern längst in unserem Alltag angekommen.
Die Veränderungen unseres Klimas sind allgegenwärtig spürbar, das allgemeine Verständnis der Prozesse dahinter aber mit Informationen überschwemmt und vielfach gefiltert.
Die Verwendung von Mathematik bei der Vorhersage von Wetter, und damit einer der größten Erfolge moderner Wissenschaft, wird in diesem Werk erstmalig anschaulich dargestellt.
This textbook is intended for both undergraduate and graduate courses in meteorology and atmospheric sciences, as well as for researchers working on theoretical and numerical aspects of weather and climate or on geophysical fluid dynamics.
Klimawandel ist ein Meta-Thema - seit Jahrzehnten auf der Agenda der Medien, global diskutiert, mit vielen Anschlusspunkten in politische, wirtschaftliche, kulturelle Fragen und Alltagsbelange.
This book gives an overview of various aspects of climate change by integrating global climate models, downscaling approaches, and hydrological models.
