  • Late Quaternary Climate Change and Human Adaptation in Arid China

    Edited by D.B. Madsen, F. Chen, X. Gao ...
    Series Book 9 - Developments in Quaternary Science
    Due to political pressures, prior to the 1990s little was known about the nature of human foraging adaptations in the deserts, grasslands, and mountains of north western China during the last glacial period. Even less was known about the transition to agriculture that followed. Now open to foreign visitation, there is now an increasing understanding of the foraging strategies which led both to the ...

  • Climate and the Oceans

    by Geoffrey K. Vallis ...
    Series series Princeton Primers in Climate
    The oceans exert a vital moderating influence on the Earth's climate system. They provide inertia to the global climate, essentially acting as the pacemaker of climate variability and change, and they provide heat to high latitudes, keeping them habitable. Climate and the Oceans offers a short, self-contained introduction to the subject. This illustrated primer begins by briefly describing the ... Read more

  • Climate Change Biology

    by Lee Hannah ...
    Climate change biology is a new discipline, born of the recognition that human-induced climate change is resulting in wholesale shifts in the distributions of species and the timing of biological events. The evidence for biological upheaval in response to climate change is immense. Migratory species are arriving earlier in the year. Flowers are blooming earlier. Ranges of plants, mammals and ...

  • Review and Integration of Biosphere-Atmosphere Modelling of Reactive Trace Gases and Volatile Aerosols

    Edited by Benjamin Loubet, Raia Silvia Massad ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    When considering biosphere–atmosphere exchange of trace gases and volatile aerosols, significant advances have been made both from an experimental and modelling point of view and on several scales.
