Abstract

Une expérience d’une ampleur sans précédent est en train de se réaliser sous nos yeux ; elle est involontaire et non maîtrisée mais elle concerne la planète toute entière : la composition de l’atmosphère a subi, subit encore et subira des modifications qui devraient entraîner des changements importants du climat. Si le thème est d’actualité, les déclarations des uns et des autres ne permettent pas toujours d’y voir clair. Le but de ce livre est de fournir les éléments scientifiques nécessaires à une compréhension personnelle du sujet. Qu’est ce que l’effet de serre ? Quels sont les grands principes qui régissent le climat de la planète ? Comment la machine climatique fonction ne-telle et comment l’activité humaine la perturbe-telle ? La Terre se réchauffe-t-elle vraiment ? Comment situer l’évolution récente du climat par rapport au passé ? Le réchauffement est-il dû à l’activité humaine ? Pourquoi certains scientifiques ont-ils des avis divergents ? À quoi s’attendre au cours de ce siècle ? Qu’est-ce que la lutte contre l’effet de serre ? Quelles seront les conséquences les plus probables du réchauffement prévisible ? Ce livre tente de répondre à ces questions en distinguant le certain, le probable et le moins sûr, sans éluder les difficultés mais en s’efforçant de rester très accessible.

Abstract

Raymond S. Bradley provides his readers with a comprehensive and up-to-date review of all of the important methods used in paleoclimatic reconstruction, dating and paleoclimate modeling. Two comprehensive chapters on dating methods provide the foundation for all paleoclimatic studies and are followed by up-to-date coverage of ice core research, continental geological and biological records, pollen analysis, radiocarbon dating, tree rings and historical records. New methods using alkenones in marine sediments and coral studies are also described. Paleoclimatology, Second Edition, is an e

Abstract

Natural Environmental Change offers a concise introduction to this key topic in the study of the environment, geography, and earth science. Illustrated throughout, each chapter provides a broad spectrum of international case studies and further reading guides. Introductory chapters examine the theories of environmental change and provide a summary of Earth history. The records of environmnetal change are then explained, as revealed by data from various archives such as ocean sediment, ice core, terrestrial deposits such as glacial moraines and lake sediments, tree rings, and historica

Abstract

While ecology has received little systematic attention within art history, its visibility and significance has grown in relation to the threats of climate change and environmental destruction. By engaging artists? widespread aesthetic and political engagement with environmental conditions and processes around the globe?and looking at cutting-edge theoretical, political, and cultural developments in the Global South and North?Decolonizing Nature offers a significant, original contribution to the intersecting fields of art history, ecology, visual culture, geography, and environmental politics. Art historian T. J. Demos, author of Return to the Postcolony: Specters of Colonialism in Contemporary Art (2013), considers the creative proposals of artists and activists for ways of life that bring together ecological sustainability, climate justice, and radical democracy, at a time when such creative proposals are urgently needed.

Abstract

The oceans are an integral and important part of the climate system. The Oceans and Climate introduces the multi-disciplinary controls on air-sea interaction - physical, chemical and biological - and shows how these interact. It demonstrates how the ocean contributes to, and is affected by, climate processes on timescales from seasonal to millennial and longer. Past, present and future relationships between the ocean and climate are discussed. The new edition of this successful textbook has been completely updated throughout, with extensive new material on thermohaline processes in the ocean and their link to both abrupt climate change and longer-term climate change. It will prove an ideal course and reference book for undergraduate and graduate students studying earth and environmental sciences, oceanography, meteorology and climatology. The book will also be useful for students and teachers of geography, physics, chemistry and biology.
