This topical Research Handbook examines the legal intersections of climate change, oceans and coasts across multiple scales and sectors, covering different geographies and regions. With expert contributions from Europe, Australasia, the Pacific, North America and Asia, it includes insightful chapters on issues ranging across the impacts of climate change on marine and coastal environments. It assesses institutional responses to climate change in ocean and marine governance regimes, adaptation to climate impacts on ocean and coastal systems and communities, and climate change mitigation in marine and coastal environments. Through a plurality of voices, disciplinary and geographical perspectives, this Research Handbook explores cross-cutting themes of institutional complexity, fragmentation, scale and design trade-offs

"Concerns have arisen in recent decades about the impact of climate change on human mobility. Many people affected by climate change are forced or otherwise decide to migrate within or across international borders. Despite its clear importance, many questions remain open regarding the nature of the climate-migration nexus and its implications for laws and institutions. In the face of such uncertainty, this Research Handbook offers a...picture of laws and institutions relevant to climate migration and the multiple, often contradictory perspectives on the topic. [The contributors] provide a cross section of the various debates on what laws do, can do and should do in relation to the impacts of climate change on migration. A first part analyses the relations between climate change and migration. A second part explores how existing laws and institutions address the climate-migration nexus. In the final part, the chapters discuss possible ways forward."--

Presents the 18 contributions and summaries of group discussions at the June 1997 Workshop on Indices and Indicators for Climate Extremes held in Asheville, North Carolina. They respond to the realization that global warming or other climate extremes, by unbalance biosphere cycles and causing massive public health problems, would almost certainly reduce average values. Thus there might indeed be cause for alarm. The topics include why US insurers care, data quality and monitoring issues of damaging weather conditions in the US, the use of indices to identify changes in climatic extremes, changes in climate extremes over the Australian region and New Zealand during the 20th century, changes in the probability of heavy precipitation, and a conceptual framework for changes of extremes of the hydrological cycle with climate change. The proceedings are also published as Climate Change vol. 42, no. 1 (1999). They are not indexed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Het thema van dit boek is het ontstaan, de ontwikkeling en het verdwijnen van oceanische eilanden. Uitgangspunt hierbij is de theorie van de platentektoniek. In tien rijk geïllustreerde hoofdstukken worden op heldere wijze de ontdekking, exploratie, morfologie, geologie, biologie en bevolking van oceanische eilanden behandeld. Hoewel de nadruk ligt op de geologie, is het boek voor een brede groep geïnteresseerden interessant, vanwege de geïntegreerde manier waarop bovenstaande onderwerpen aan de lezer gepresenteerd worden. Behalve door de goed geschreven tekst valt het boek op door de kwaliteit van de illustraties. De vele (lucht-)foto's van eenzaam gelegen koraaleilandjes vormen een passende begeleiding bij de tekst. Het is een kwalitatief hoogstaand boek, dat bij uitstek geschikt is voor informatieve doeleinden op MO- en HBO-nivo.
