"Creating Resilient Transportation Systems: Policy, Planning and Implementation demonstrates how the transportation sector is a leading producer of carbon emissions that result in climate change and extreme weather disruptions and disasters. In the book, Renne, Wolshon, Murray-Tuite, Pande and Kim demonstrate how to minimize the transportation impacts associated with these urban disasters, with an ultimate goal of returning them to at least status quo in the shortest feasible time."--

South Florida continues to attract new residents despite its susceptibility to sea-level rise. This book explores the views of real estate agent with respect to how prospective homebuyers assess the risk of flooding. It reports on their observations as to whether house prices are stagnant or falling in coastal areas vulnerable to flooding, and their conclusions after working with prospective homebuyers as to whether coastal south Florida is a good place to find a home or, alternatively, a risky investment in a place that will eventually be submerged by rising seas. The book reports on a 2020 survey of real estate agents and concludes that it is not clear that the housing market has integrated flood risk either into reduced demand for housing or in reduced prices for houses susceptible to flooding. These conclusions have important implications for understanding how the risks of climate change and sea-level rise are reflected in the housing market both now and in the near-term future. .

"This undergraduate level textbook, based on Eli Tziperman's "Global Warming 101" course at Harvard--a quantitative introduction to the science of global warming. From the greenhouse effect to the consequences of the rise of greenhouse gases, the book discusses a range of topics including sea level rise, ocean acidification, heat waves, droughts, glacier melting, changes to hurricanes, and more. Taking a modular approach to the subject, each semi-independent chapter attempts to explain the physical or chemical mechanisms behind an observed or anticipated change in the climate system, and to demonstrate the statistical (or other) tools used to understand and predict these changes. Much of the study of climate change is based on large-scale, complex "Earth System Models" that attempt to simulate the oceans, atmosphere, land surface, cryosphere and biosphere. However, this book is based on the belief that every one of the relevant subjects can be understood using a pared-down framework, employing a straightforward statistical analysis, a few simple ordinary differential equations, or a set of basic chemical reactions. The approach to the subject is suitable for readers who have taken elementary (first year) undergraduate-level calculus and are aware of basic concepts in statistics; but, the book otherwise assumes no prior college-level exposure to Earth or climate science. To guide readers through analyzing, plotting and understanding problems relevant to the material covered, each chapter concludes with a "Workshop" based on a Jupyter python notebook and an accompanying small data set. The notebook exercises and corresponding datasets are available for download on a supplementary website, and the solutions will be made available to adopting instructors"--

Waarom hebben we seizoenen en wanneer beginnen ze? 
Welke wolken en welke sterrenbeelden zijn typerend voor welk seizoen? 
Hoe vind je de planeten? 
Blijven onweersbuien hangen boven rivieren? 
Hoe zwaar is een wolk en waarom is de onderkant plat? 
Wat doet een sterke zonkracht? 
Verandert het hooikoortsseizoen? 
Welke rol spelen hemelobjecten vroeger en nu? 

Meteoroloog Helga van Leur en wetenschapsjournalist Govert Schilling nemen je in dit boek mee door de seizoenen. Ze verklaren de alledaagse én bijzondere weer- en sterrenkundige verschijnselen van elk jaargetijde. Met deskundige en heldere uitleg en volledig geïllustreerd met prachtige foto's biedt dit lees- en kijkboek van lente tot winter een fascinerende blik op hemel en aarde.
