Description

Understanding Present 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 changes to this environment that are attributed 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. The Arctic region is predicted to experience the earliest and most pronounced global warming response to human-induced climatic change, thus a better understanding is vital.

Key Features

  • Presents a thorough understanding of the Arctic, it’s past, present and future
  • Provides an integrated assessment of the Arctic climate system, recognizing that a true understanding of its functions lies in appreciating the interactions and linkages among its various components
  • Brings together many of the world's leading Arctic researchers to describe this diverse environment and its ecology

Readership

Atmospheric Scientists, Climate scientists, Ocean scientists at post graduate level and above. General environmental sciences
