Climate Change, Community Response, and Resilience: Insight for Socio-Ecological Sustainability, Volume Six presents a fundamental theoretical framework for understanding how community resilience and risk assessment affect climate change adaptation behavior. This framework is based on a 26-chapter theoretical and empirical examination that includes pioneer projects from various regions that illustrate the relationship between theory and practice, reflect a paradigm shift in climate change, community response, and resilience, and focus on these important aspects from a sectoral perspective. Climate change, ecological consequences and resilience are then discussed in the final section.

Science of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes presents an evidence-based view of the most important ways in which the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is affecting both our atmosphere and the oceans. The book provides compelling reasons why concerted action is required to slow the rate at which the atmosphere and oceans are changing. It not only covers longer-term changes in extremes and their causes, but also considers the drivers and attribution of extreme events, including relevant methods and techniques.

Explores the deep connections between climate change and the evolution and extinction patterns of life on Earth Climate Change and Life covers the critical tectonic and biogeochemical cycles that drive climate and shape the modern world. It also compares the climate histories of Earth, Venus and Mars, and explores the limits of habitability in the Universe. This book is multidisciplinary and will instruct readers on the range of extremes in climate and biogeochemical cycling that shape life on Earth. Topics covered include the atmospheric and orbital controls of climate, how we measure past climate change, major evolutionary events, mass extinctions, the evolution of humans and their increasing impact on global climate, and future climate and the fate of global ecosystems. Climate Change and Life takes a long view on climate and evolution while also focusing on the defining moments in Earth history when critical thresholds and events occur. Scientists and students alike interested in climate change, earth and environmental sciences, and other areas related to climate change will find value in the concepts and examples presented in this book.Examines the link between climate change and extinctions in the geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphereExplores the concept of ecological resilience, the principal reason why the Earth has remained continuously inhabited by organisms for almost four billion yearsDiscusses how the ongoing influences of climate change will continue to shape a planet that will head toward extremes

Climate Observations: Data Quality Control and Time Series Homogenization pulls together the different phases of the production of high-quality climatic datasets, allowing interested readers to obtain a coherent picture on the complexity and importance of this task. There are several new methods of time series homogenization, each very complex and fast developing. The thematic discussion of the production of high quality climatic datasets provides the opportunity to reduce errors, including the careful installation of meteorological instruments, the application of strict observing rules and inspections, and the use of sophistically developed statistical software to detect and remove errors or biases. This book is intended for professionals working on climate data management at the national meteorological services, for the users of observed climatic data, and for students and researchers studying atmospheric and climate science.
