Perubahan iklim global mendorong Uni Eropa (UE) sebagai pasar tunggal terbesar untuk menginisiasi European Union on Deforestation free Regulation (EUDR), sebuah kebijakan yang mengharuskan komoditas impor, termasuk minyak sawit untuk memenuhi standar deforestation-free dan sistem ketertelusuran yang terverifikasi. Regulasi ini menimbulkan dampak dan tantangan bagi negara produsen, terutama Indo…
This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol's implementation within the context of international carbon trading in Kazakhstan, a country whose economy is heavily reliant on fossil fuel-based energy sectors. Since ratifying the Kyoto Protocol in 2009, Kazakhstan has adopted an Emissions Trading System (KazETS) as a strategic step to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and c…
Climate change has become an urgent global challenge, resulting in rising temperatures, sea level increase, and significant impacts on vulnerable countries, such as Bangladesh. Bangladesh faces immense pressure from climate change, leading to a surge in the number of climate refugees. As a densely populated country, this issue demands serious attention, with rural residents being trapped in the…
Climate change events such as El Nino, drought, increased hotspots, and forest and land fires are some of the problems that have plagued South Sumatra to this day. Every year, the land of South Sumatra also experiences land degradation resulting in critical land conditions that have an impact on the loss of land functions as carbon storage and microclimate regulators. In order to overcome clima…
Climate change is a change in air temperature or precipitation that has occurred in the world over the years. This is caused by several things such as deforestation or continuous logging of forests. Deforestation is a threat to the lives and livelihoods of indigenous peoples and traditional communities in the Amazon, even to the biodiversity in forests, and to the global climate. The Amazon for…
Perubahan iklim merupakan tantangan terbesar sebagai permasalahan global yang menjadi ancaman utama setiap negara di dunia saat ini. Peningkatan suhu udara rata-rata global sejak pertengahan abad ke-20 kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh meningkatnya konsentrasi gas rumah kaca akibat aktivitas manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi mahasiswa Pendidikan fisika universitas sriw…
Managed realignment has been a preferred coastal management strategy in England in the 21st century and has also been increasingly implemented elsewhere. Climate change and environmental and financial concerns have led to a shift from the traditional ‘hold-the-line’ approach of coastal protection towards more flexible soft engineering options. Managed realignment is a relatively new soft en…
Landslides in cold regions have different mechanisms from those in other areas, and comparatively few research efforts have been made in this field. Recently, because of climate change, some new trends concerning landslide occurrence and motion have appeared, severely impacting economic development and communities. This book collects key case studies from the cold regions all over the world, pr…
“Geospatial Technologies and Climate Change” is a scholarly compilation of seventeen chapters from researchers working on climate change related research in five countries of four continents. Geospatial technologies, synergetic applications of remote sensing and geographical information systems, offer versatile cross-scale tools to study climate change, the climate system’s changes over d…
This book deals with recent advances in our understanding and prediction of tropical cyclogenesis, intensification and movement as well as landfall processes like heavy rainfall, gale wind and storm surge based on the latest observational and numerical weather prediction (NWP) modeling platforms. It also includes tropical cyclone (TC) management issues like early warning systems, recent high im…
Unique among all creatures, further to the increase in its cranial volume from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens, the use of tools and cultural and scientific creativity, the genus Homo is distinguished by the mastery of fire, which since about two million years ago has become its blueprint. Through the Holocene and culminating in the Anthropocene, the burning of much of the terrestrial vegetat…
This book presents an update and revision of the book Water Shall Flow from the Rock - Hydrogeology and Climate in the Lands of the Bible by A. Issar, published by Springer-Verlag in 1990. The enormous quantity and quality of new data added since 1990 called for a thorough update. Another reason for this work is the better understanding achieved since the initial book was published about the ro…
This book describes thoroughly the North American Climate of the past 65 million years, with special emphasis on the last 21,000 years, as revealed by paleoclimatic observations and climate models. It analyzes weather observations over the past century and satellite measurements of the last few decades to develop a picture of more recent climatic trends. It explains how global climate models ar…
This book identifies lessons learned from natural hazard experiences to help communities plan for and adapt to climate change. Written by leading experts, the case studies examine diverse experiences, from severe storms to sea-level related hazards, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, floods, earthquakes and tsunami, in North America, Europe, Australasia, Asia, Africa and Small Island Developing S…
This updated and revised new edition of Assessing Climate Change deals with the full gamut of essential questions in relation to global warming and climate change, uniquely providing a balanced and impartial discussion of this controversial subject. It shows that most of what is “known”about the Sun, historical climates and projections for the future lacks foundation and leaves great room f…
The Holocene is unique when compared to earlier geological time in that humans begin to alter and manipulate the natural environment to their own needs. Domestication of crops and animals and the resultant intensification of agriculture lead to profound changes in the impact humans have on the environment. Conversely, as human populations began to increase geologic and climatic factors begin to…
Forests and vegetation emit biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) into the atmosphere which, once oxidized, can partition into the particle phase, forming secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). This thesis reports on a unique and comprehensive analysis of the impact of BVOC emissions on atmospheric aerosols and climate. A state-of-the-art global aerosol microphysics model is used to make the …
Perhaps just as perplexing as the biggest issues at the core of Earth science is the nature of communicating about nature itself. New Trends in Earth-Science Outreach and Engagement: The Nature of Communication examines the processes of communication necessary in bridging the chasm between climate change and natural hazard knowledge and public opinion and policy. At this junction of science and…
The northward migration of the African monsoon rains in summer, associated with the seasonal march of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) across the plains south of the Sahara, is the most critical asset for the livelihoods of indigenous peoples and local economies of the Sahel. It is essential that climate science (and its publicly available database) play a key role in characterizing t…
