Abstract

Studies the science of analyzing, assessing and anticipating environmental change. This book considers issues such as: observational evidence, statistical analysis and dynamic modeling as well as visioning of not-implausible changes in the environment, the changing public perception of the environment, functions of the environment and its use.

Abstract

This book evolved from the 5th School of Environmental Research entitled žPersistent Pollution - Past, Present and Future , which has set a focus on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), heavy metals and aerosols. Research topics covered by the School included the  reconstruction of past changes based on the scientific analysis of natural archives such as ice cores and peat deposits,  evaluation of the present environmental state by the integration of measurements and modelling and the establishment of cause-effect-patterns,  assessment of possible environmental future scenarios including emission and climate change perspectives. Leading scientists in the field of Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry, Meteorology and Modelling, Environmental Chemistry and Physics, as well as Environmental Policy and Management have prepared manuscripts. The book consists of 19 contributions prepared by more than 40 authors. The structure of the book has been outlined according to the topics addressed by the School and includes synthesis chapters which look into the history and reconstruction of environmental pollution, address emission questions, provide a closer look on selected persistent pollutants, deal with transport and modelling aspects, shed light on some health issues related to persistent pollutants, and discuss emerging contaminants in the atmospheric and marine environment.

Abstract

1 HansvonStorchandRichardTol GKSS Research Centre, Max-Planck-Straße 1, 21502 Geesthacht, Germany These are the proceedings of the 4th GKSS School on Environmental - search, which took place on 2-11 November 2005 on the Island of Heligoland in the German Bight. 19 PhD students and postdocs from 10 countries came and dared to sail the 3 hours from Cuxhaven to the only rocky island of Germany, the island of Heligoland, in Novembers heavy storm season. The purpose of this 4th School, with the title Environmental Crises: S- ence and Policy  was to study the art and science of analyzing, assessing and anticipating environmental change. Among the issues considered are the observational evidence, statistical analysis and dynamic modeling as well as visioning of not-implausible changes in the environment, the changing public perceptionof the environment,functions of theenvironmentandits use. A - ries of four prominent cases, namely climate change, the emissions of gasoline lead into the atmosphere and water bodies, ?sheries policies and the mana- ment of marine oil pollution is reviewed. Obviously, many other cases could havebeenchosen,suchasWaldsterben,nuclearenergy,releaseofcarcinogenic substances, genetically modi?ed food, threat to biodiversity, import of alien species, just to mention a few. We had chosen cases which were close to the researchinterestsoftheorganizersHansvonStorchandRichardTolandtheir institutions, namely the Institute for Coastal Research of the GKSS Research Center in Geesthacht and the Centre for Marine and Atmospheric Sciences 1 (ZMAW) in Hamburg.
