Описание: Climate change and variability are usually caused by natural factors and processes like solar radiation, tectonic movements, etc. However, climate changes are also affected by human activities and interference. Scientists and environmentalists are conducting researches and studies to investigate and evaluate the effects of climate change on environment. The chapters in this book are an assimilation of topics such as water sustainability and climate change, effect of climate change on agriculture, remote sensing techniques for assessing the impact of climate change, etc. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.

Описание: New technologies and assessment methods create improved opportunities to monitor and predict the onset of natural disasters in the era of global warming. Researchers continue to evaluate the changes in weather patterns in order to better understand natural phenomena.Extreme Weather and Impacts of Climate Change on Water Resources in the Dobrogea Region presents a descriptive environmental resource focused on a Romanian region affected by the changing climate. In discussing methods of assessment, monitoring, and prediction, the research included in this publication is an essential resource for policymakers, academicians, researchers, advanced-level students, technology developers, and government officials who wish to expand their research exposure to pertinent topics related to flooding and droughts due to climate change.

Описание: Chapter 1 examines the state of the science related to extreme weather events. It will provide an opportunity to examine the role of climate change and other weather and climate factors in causing and exacerbating extreme weather events, to discuss economic and other societal impacts of extreme weather, to explore the state of forecasting and prediction of extreme weather with a focus on how to communicate uncertainty, and to identify gaps in the science. Chapter 2 reports on the kinds of climate risk information standards and tools that communities need to reduce the risks and costs of climate change, including more extreme floods and wildfires.

In addition, frameworks that decision makers can use to prioritize limited budgetary resources for adaptation efforts are reviewed.Critical sectors are aggregated into five overarching infrastructure sectors: energy; transportation, including roads, bridges, rail, transit, and aviation; drinking water and wastewater; water storage and flood protection; and navigation, including ports and harbors. Each sector is reviewed with respect to the potential impacts of climate change pertinent to that sector, current sector fragility or resilience to such impacts, adaptation readiness, and dependency on or contribution to other sectors. The book continues with a proposed step-by-step prioritization process, which includes several questions that may be considered depending on the context, and examples of case-specific prioritization frameworks used by other organizations. A proposal for necessary future research concludes the publication.All policy makers and engineers involved in infrastructure planning and design, from the federal level to local stakeholders, will find the summaries of impacts and the suggested prioritization framework as helpful guides in accommodating projected future weather and climate extremes for their locale.

Описание: The science of climate change is a complex subject that balances the physical record and scientific fact with politics, policy, and ethics - and is of particular importance to the geosciences. This thoughtfully crafted new text and accompanying media encourage non-science majors to practice critical thinking, analysis, and discourse about climate change themes. Taking a cross-disciplinary approach, acclaimed educator and researcher, David Kitchen, examines not only the physical science, but the social, economic, political, energy, and environmental issues surrounding climate change. His goal: to turn knowledge into action, equipping students with the knowledge and critical skills to make informed decisions, separate facts from fiction, and participate in the public debate.

During the last 100 years warming has been observed in all continents with an average increase of 0. 6 0. 2 C (man SD) in the course of the 20th century. T e greatest temperature changes occurred at middle and high latitudes in the northern hemispheres. T e trend towards warmer average surface temperatures for the period since 1976 is roughly three times that of the past 100 years as a whole. In the last decades warming seems to be attributable to human activities (man-made environmental changes) like land-use changes, deforestation, urbanisation and the reduction of wetlands. Global climate change is likely to be accompanied by an increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.
