Description
Over the last decade, the study of cycles as a model for the earth's changing climate has become a new science. Earth Systems
Science is the basis for understanding all aspects of anthropogenic global change, such as chemically forced global climate
change. The work is aimed at those students interested in the emerging scientific discipline.Earth Systems Science
is an integrated discipline that has been rapidly developing over the last two decades. New information is included in this updated edition
so that the text remains relevant.
This volume contains five new chapters, but of special importance is the inclusion of an expanded
set of student exercises.
The two senior authors are leading scientists in their fields and have been awarded numerous prizes for their
research efforts.
Audience
Advanced/Senior undergraduates and graduates in Atmospheric and Meteorological Sciences, Chemistry, Oceanography and Astronomy (for the Earth System Science courses), and some Engineering disciplines.
