Lights in the Sky: Identifying and Understanding Astronomical and Meteorological Phenomena

Lights in the Sky: Identifying and Understanding Astronomical and Meteorological Phenomena by Michael Maunder
English | PDF (True) | 2007 | 233 Pages | ISBN : 1846285623 | 6.12 MB

Many lights and other objects in the sky go unrecognised, or at least are little understood by those observing them. Such things range from the commonplace like rainbows and meteors, to the distinctly unusual like the green flash and ball lightning. And there is still a residuum of objects that remain unidentified by the watcher – classed generally as ‘UFOs’, a description which today has connotations of the mysterious, even of extraterrestrial visitors.

The authors summarize the latest advances in chamber interoperability and standard protocols in order to provide the research community and the next generations of scientists with a unique technical reference guide for the use of simulation chambers. The volume will be of great interest to researchers and graduates working in the fields of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences.

Climate Risks to Water Security: Framing Effective Response in Asia and the Pacific

Climate Risks to Water Security: Framing Effective Response in Asia and the Pacific

Climate Risks to Water Security: Framing Effective Response in Asia and the Pacific by Hemant Ojha, Nicholas Schofield, Jeff Camkin
English | EPUB | 2023 | 315 Pages | ISBN : 3031166477 | 27.6 MB

In Asia and the Pacific, climate change is now a well-recognised risk to water security but responses to this risk are either under reported, or continue to be guided by the incremental or business as usual approaches. Water policy still tends to remain too narrow and fragmented, compared to the multi-sectoral and cross-scalar nature of risks to water security. What’s more, current water security debates tend to be framed in discipline specific or academic ways, failing to understand decision making and problem-solving contexts within which policy actors and partitioners have to operate on a daily basis. Much of the efforts to date has focussed on assessing and predicting the risks in the context of increasing levels of uncertainty. There is still limited analysis of emerging practices of risks assessment and mitigation in different contexts in Asia and the Pacific.

Climate Change and Microbiome Dynamics: Carbon Cycle Feedbacks

Climate Change and Microbiome Dynamics: Carbon Cycle Feedbacks by Javid Ahmad Parray
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 381 Pages | ISBN : 3031210786 | 37.3 MB

The book provides an overview relevant to various biological mechanisms that regulate carbon exchanges between the major components and their response to climate change. Climate change has a significant impact on people's lives, energy demand, food security, etc. The soil microbial ecology is vital for assessing terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles and climate feedback. However, the primary concern is the complexity of the soil microbial community and its severely affected functions due to the climate and other global changes. Global warming comprises an assessment of the dynamic interactions and feedback between microbes, plants, and their physical environment due to climate change.

Climate Policy Integration: A Comparative Analysis of Land Use Change and Energy Sectors in Indonesia and Mexico

Climate Policy Integration: A Comparative Analysis of Land Use Change and Energy Sectors in Indonesia and Mexico by Heiner von Lüpke
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 261 Pages | ISBN : 3031189264 | 11 MB

This book analyzes climate policy integration processes by investigating cause-effect relations in cases of integrating climate policy in energy and land-use sectors of Indonesia and Mexico, taking a novel comparative case study approach. The book identifies root causes for integration outside of the public administration, discussing decisive factors in the political economy of the energy and land-use sectors. Showing how policy windows may open for the successful integration of climate policies nevertheless, the book addresses the need to identify and properly use these windows to establish the administrative and institutional arrangements for effective climate policy implementation.
