This comprehensive resource discusses climatic factors and processes that impact natural and artificial systems, as well as the relationship between climate change and both natural and man-made hazards. The book includes case studies and original maps to provide real-life examples of climate change and land use over regions around the globe.
In addition, the book presents future perspectives on mitigation and adaptation of the climate change impact.
- Summarizes current research on land use and climate change
- Provides future perspectives on climate change using climate models
- Includes case studies to provide real-life examples from various countries
- Incorporates high level graphics, images, and maps to support reviews and case studies
Academic and research scientists across Environmental Sciences. Climate centers; natural resource and land management professionals; academia in geography, agriculture and spatial planning
