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

Data Assimilation for the Geosciences: From Theory to Application, Second Edition brings together all of the mathematical and statistical background knowledge needed to formulate data assimilation systems into one place. It includes practical exercises enabling readers to apply theory in both a theoretical formulation as well as teach them how to code the theory with toy problems to verify their understanding. It also demonstrates how data assimilation systems are implemented in larger scale fluid dynamical problems related to land surface, the atmosphere, ocean and other geophysical situations. The second edition of Data Assimilation for the Geosciences has been revised with up to date research that is going on in data assimilation, as well as how to apply the techniques. The new edition features an introduction of how machine learning and artificial intelligence are interfacing and aiding data assimilation. In addition to appealing to students and researchers across the geosciences, this now also appeals to new students and scientists in the field of data assimilation as it will now have even more information on the techniques, research, and applications, consolidated into one source.
