Contamination of Marine Ecosystems in Polar Regions: Basics and Applications provides an illustrative account of ecology and ecotoxicology of the Arctic and Antarctic Regions, both suffering from multiple stresses with environmental consequences for the marine ecosystems. This book is based on the author’s lectures and research over the past 10 years and guides the reader through the emerging problems of the contamination in broad, topical ecological perspectives. For instance, the distribution of persistent organic pollutants in marine trophic webs, the transfer from abiotic compartments to organisms, the human chemical impacts, the effects of global change on the contaminant distribution, the consequences of tourism in warming polar oceans are discussed and case studies are presented.Contaminat... of Marine Ecosystems in Polar Regions: Basics and Applications is structured into two parts: the first part will provide the reader with basics of geography, polar climate, ecosystem structure, contaminant properties, transport to polar regions, marine biology and ecology; the second part presents case studies to argue the topics described in the Part 1 from an ecological perspective.

From Catchment to Coast in Japan: The Past, the Present, and the Future of Japanese Water Resources and Human Activities addresses seven broad questions relating to water resource management in Japan: What water reforms have occurred in Japan over the past 100 years? What is the current condition of Japan related to regional and rural communities, major water-related assets, and salinity and water quality? How have the water reforms to date influenced policy and management? How do traditional and modern water resources differ from Western countries? What challenges face Japan over the next and beyond 30 years, particularly due to climate change?, and more.Other questions answered include: What are possible policy and management responses to climate change and other future challenges? What can be done to improve decision-making processes given the general lack of trust in the governments, agencies, and their current processes? What is the way ahead for policy and management reforms in Japan?, and much more.
