Understanding Present and Past Arctic Environments: An Integrated Approach from Climate Change Perspectives

Understanding Pesent and Past Arctic Environments: An Integrated Approach from Climate Change Perspectives provides a fully comprehensive overview of the past, present, and future outlook for this incredibly diverse and important region. Through a series of contributed chapters, the book explores the changes to this environment, due to the effects of climate change. The book explores the current effects climate change has had on Arctic environments and ecosystems, our current understanding of the effects climate change is having, the effects climate change is having on the atmospheric and ocean processes in this region and a look to the future for this region should things not change, with a focus on what can be done, and how. The Arctic region is predicted to experience the earliest and most pronounced global warming response to human-induced climatic change, so a better understanding is vital. Though targeted mainly at advanced students and researchers in climate science, Understanding Present and Past Arctic Environments is accessible to all environmental scientists with an interest in the Arctic and a basic understanding of climate science. Presents a thorough understanding of the Arctic, it's past, present and futureProvides an integrated assessment of the Arctic climate system, recognizing that a true understanding of how the Arctic functions lies in appreciating the interactions and linkages among its various componentsBrings together many of the world's leading Arctic researchers, to describe this diverse environment and its ecology INDICE: 1.
