  • Brave New Arctic

    The Untold Story of the Melting North

    by Mark C. Serreze ...
    Series series Science Essentials
    An insider account of how researchers unraveled the mystery of the thawing ArcticIn the 1990s, researchers in the Arctic noticed that floating summer sea ice had begun receding. This was accompanied by shifts in ocean circulation and unexpected changes in weather patterns throughout the world. The Arctic's perennially frozen ground, known as permafrost, was warming, and treeless tundra was being ... Read more

  • The Arctic Climate System

    by Mark C. Serreze, Roger G. Barry ...
    Series series Cambridge Atmospheric and Space Science Series
    This second edition brings this definitive book up to date with the many advances in our understanding of Arctic climate since the first edition was published in 2005. The book has also been extensively reorganized to weave issues of Arctic change throughout the text, rather than confining them to a single chapter. It is the first to provide an integrated assessment of the Arctic climate system, ... Read more

  • The Attacking Ocean

    The Past, Present, and Future of Rising Sea Levels

    by Brian Fagan ...
    The past fifteen thousand years-the entire span of human civilization-have witnessed dramatic sea level changes, which began with rapid global warming at the end of the Ice Age, when coastlines were more than seven hundred feet below modern levels. Over the next ten millennia, the oceans climbed in fits and starts. These rapid changes had little effect on those humans who experienced them, partly ... Read more

  • Climate Change: A Wicked Problem

    Complexity and Uncertainty at the Intersection of Science, Economics, Politics, and Human Behavior

    by Frank P. Incropera ...
    Under one cover, Frank P. Incropera provides a comprehensive, objective and critical assessment of all issues germane to the climate change debate: science, technology options, economic ramifications, cultural and behavioural issues, the influence of special interests and public policy, geopolitics and ethical dimensions. The underlying science is treated in depth, but in an approachable and ... Read more

  • Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum

    How Humans Took Control of Climate

    by William F. Ruddiman ...
    Series series Princeton Science Library
    The impact on climate from 200 years of industrial development is an everyday fact of life, but did humankind's active involvement in climate change really begin with the industrial revolution, as commonly believed? Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum has sparked lively scientific debate since it was first published--arguing that humans have actually been changing the climate for some 8,000 years--as a ... Read more

  • The Goldilocks Planet

    The 4 billion year story of Earth's climate

    by Jan Zalasiewicz, Mark Williams ...
    Climate change is a major topic of concern today, scientifically, socially, and politically. It will undoubtedly continue to be so for the foreseeable future, as predicted changes in global temperatures, rainfall, and sea level take place, and as human society adapts to these changes. In this remarkable new work, Jan Zalasiewicz and Mark Williams demonstrate how the Earth's climate has ... Read more

  • Nonlinear Climate Dynamics

    by Henk A. Dijkstra ...
    This book introduces stochastic dynamical systems theory in order to synthesize our current knowledge of climate variability. Nonlinear processes, such as advection, radiation and turbulent mixing, play a central role in climate variability. These processes can give rise to transition phenomena, associated with tipping or bifurcation points, once external conditions are changed. The theory of ... Read more

  • Schumann Resonance for Tyros

    Essentials of Global Electromagnetic Resonance in the Earth–Ionosphere Cavity

    by Alexander Nickolaenko, Masashi Hayakawa ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Schumann resonance has been studied for more than half a century. The field became popular among researchers of the terrestrial environment using natural sources of electromagnetic radiation—lightning strokes, primarily—and now many Schumann observatories have been established around the world. A huge number of publications can be found in the literature, the most recent collection of which was ... Read more
