The environment

The ocean plays a central role in determining the climate of the earth.

This book is the outcome of a NAill Advanced Study Institute on the contemporary glo- bal carbon cycle, held in n Ciocco, Italy, September 8-20, 1991.

Methane plays many important roles in the earth's environment.

Key biogeochemical events in the ocean take place in less than a second, are studied in experiments lasting a few hours, and determine cycles that last over seasons or even years.

One of major challenges facing Earth's science in the nextdecade and beyondis the development of an accurate longterm observational data set to study global change.

This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concerned with the principles and applications of environmental management.

Since the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis began its study of water quality modeling and management in 1977, it has been interested in the relations between uncertainty and the problems of model calibration and prediction.

In March 1981 the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) published the results of a global energy study looking fifty years into the future: Energy in a Finite World: A Global Systems Analysis (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Ballinger Publishing Co.

The first summer study at IIASA brought together a cross-section of individ- uals from different disciplines and nationalities.
