Desertification: Environmental Degradation in and Around Arid Lands
ISBN: 9780367021030 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The United Nations Water Conference (in Argentina in March 1977) and the United Nations Conference to Combat Desertification (in Kenya in August 1977) reflect the worldwide attention that recent global food shortages and growing populations have drawn to the destruction of arable and potentially arable land. This collection of articles focuses on a primary form of such destruction: desertification—the creation of desert-like conditions in arid or semiarid regions either by changes in climate patterns or by human mismanagement, or both. The contributors—representing a range of...

The Role of Regional Organizations in the Context of Climate Change
ISBN: 9783642850288 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The possible impacts of global warming on transboundary resources such as water and fish and the ability of regional organizations to deal with those impacts are closely examined. Using a historical approach, the ways in which regional organizations have responded to changes in the location and amount of resources are assessed. The book closes in suggesting that policymakers review the possible roles for regional organization in issues related to environmental change. If the climate changes, resources are likely to shift at local and regional levels, possibly leading to interstate conflicts.

Currents of Change: Impacts of El Niño and La Niña on Climate and Society
ISBN: 9780521786720 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Headlines around the world about severe droughts, hurricanes, and floods caused by El Nino and La Nina appear every few years. El Nino is the second most important climate process after the changing seasons; its effects are widely known, but the equally serious impact of La Nina is only now beginning to be appreciated. Fully revised, Currents of Change clearly explains what El Nino and La Nina are and how they can be forecast. Examining for the first time the major El Nino of 1997-1998, Michael Glantz explains what we can learn from past events, how we can better manage climate-sensitive...

Climate Variability, Climate Change and Fisheries
ISBN: 9780521017824 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As we approach the end of the twentieth century, public and scientific attention is focusing increasingly on the detection and assessment of changes in our environment. This unique volume addresses the potential implications of global warming for fisheries and the societies which depend on them. Using a ?forecasting by analogy? approach, which draws upon experiences from the recent past in coping with regional fluctuations in the abundance or availability of living marine resources, it is shown how we might be able to assess our ability to respond to the consequences of future environmental...

Drought Follows the Plow
ISBN: 9780521477215 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. We are now in the "Age of Environmental Enlightenment" and global warming is seen as a major threat to the well-being of the world's communities. Today many researchers speculate that with global warming of the atmosphere there will be an increase in drought-related crop failures in areas already subject to drought. They contend that dry areas will get drier and wet areas wetter. Yet observations show that people are moving into regions that are relatively less fruitful with respect to agriculture productivity than the lands from which they emigrated. This book challenges the view that future...

El Niño Ready Nations and Disaster Risk Reduction: 19 Countries in Perspective
ISBN: 9783030865054 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. El Niño can have drastic effects on livelihoods in affected regions. As the climate changes, there will also be changes in El Nino behavior and therefor in its impacts around the globe on human activities such as agriculture, water resources and weather extremes. The country-specific studies covered in this book are undertaken by experts on climate, water and weather-related fields in the countries being studied. Furthermore, aspects from other disciplines, for example from social sciences have been drawn upon in order to cover crosscutting themes which are identified: depicting...
