Elements in Climate Change and Cities

Reflects the scientific, technical, operational, and social dimensions of forward-looking research and action in the fields of planning, urban design, and architecture. It is a manifesto for the transformation of cities in response to climate change. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Planning, Urban Design, and Architecture for Climate Action

Organizational Response to Climate Change: Businesses, Governments

This Element explores NGOs' use of digital technology in climate activism, focusing on the benefits and downsides of using technology to push for political change. It explores how social media and satellites are used to mobilize people and analyze environmental data, highlighting the influence of technology on activists' goals and strategies.

Climate Activism, Digital Technologies, and Organizational Change

This reference work&nbsp;gathers all of the latest technologies, information, definitions and explanations of spacecraft life support systems, while providing in-depth coverage of the current knowledge of the business of keeping astronauts alive during their missions. It is intended that this MRW be the go-to reference work not only for aerospace engineers, but also for graduate and undergraduate aerospace engineers and space scientists. The area of spacecraft life support is&nbsp;comprised of&nbsp;dozens of specialties and sub-specialties within the fields of engineering, biophysics, and medicine. As space agencies around the world pursue cutting-edge life support technologies, much more information and data is accumulated.&nbsp;When humans move out into the solar system to stay for long durations, the most immediate challenge will be the provision of reliable and robust life support systems in locations devoid of food, air, and water. These life support systems must provide these commodities in each phase of spaceflight, including intra-vehicular activity (IVA) and extra-vehicular activity (EVA). Systems supporting human life must also fulfill myriad requirements: exceptional reliability in the space environment, allowing maintenance and component replacement in space; reduced resupply mass of consumables and spares; the ability to utilize local planetary&nbsp;resources for self sufficiency; and minimized mass power and volume requirements. &nbsp;These requirements will assume ever greater importance as bolder missions are envisioned and more sophisticated life support systems are required. For example, the next decade could see human missions to Mars and a return to the Moon. In the not-so-distant future, there is the prospect of Mars One and the creation of a permanent extraterrestrial colony. It may appear that a suitable environment can be created simply by reproducing terrestrial environmental conditions within a vehicle. In reality, it is first necessary to define the environmental characteristics humans require and match these requirements with the myriad design constraints. This is no easy task, because implementing these environmental parameters within a spacecraft can be challenging, while balancing the various requirements and constraints can test the abilities of even the most gifted aerospace engineer. Yet it is a crucial field of study and the experts contributing to this volume are on the very front lines.

Handbook of Life Support Systems for Spacecraft and Extraterrestrial Habitats

SpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences

This monograph presents a proposal for interdisciplinary and international research that uses varve as an essential tool. The discovery and subsequent palaeoenvironmental studies of the annually laminated sediments of Lake Suigetsu (Japan) revealed the directionality of a new discipline in the traditional field of historical science. The historical evidence of environmental changes and natural disasters provided by annually laminated sediments promote an integration of human and natural histories on a common time scale. To explore the impact of climatic changes and natural disasters on civilized society in the present and past, we simply open this door and enter a new phase in world history. The high resolution data about environmental history like climate, sea level, vegetation changes and natural disasters under the most reliable varve chronology will be discussed in relation to the development of human history and the rise and fall of civilizations. The book shows the direction of a new world history and new cosmology of the future civilization in relation to the environmental changes.

What Annually Laminated Sediments Reveal About the History of Environment and Civilization

A one-of-a-kind illustrated guide to clouds, cloud formations, and the artists who painted themThe mystery of clouds has captivated scientists and artists alike. This unique book shows you how to use the meteorological techniques of nephology to identify these elusive and transmutable shapes. It curates, classifies, and measures every species-including those recently discovered-considering the height, size, texture, arrangement, modifications, and movement of their many shifting forms. Clouds blends a lively and engaging narrative by one of today's leading meteorologists with an essay on historic cloud art, and includes a wealth of breathtaking cloud studies by some of the greatest artists ever to look skyward. Presents a "taxonomic" approach to identification, applying the basic laws of geometry to quantify and measure clouds and cloud formationsShowcases artists who painted clouds from a scientific viewpoint, such as John Constable, Frederic Edwin Church, J.M.W. Turner, and Caspar David FriedrichTells the stories of the physicists and painters who have attempted to record the many different incarnations of cloudsExplains the physics of clouds, from the basic constituents of Earth's atmosphere to cloud formation and dissipation, the colors and shades of clouds, the development of precipitation, and the timescale evolution of cloudsDiscusses the classification and naming of cloudsServes as a user-friendly reference guide to low, midlevel, and high cloud speciesIncludes charts, infographics, and a glossary of terms

Developments in Weather and Climate Science

Managing the Consequences of Weather, Climate, and Ocean Extremes in Our Warming World examines the impacts of weather and climate extremes and evaluates the steps that might be done to mitigate the negative effects of these extremes. The information is targeted and given in a cohesive and complete manner due to the author's broad and in-depth subject area expertise. The book complements the previously published volume Science of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes and will help professionals gain an authoritative, evidence-based, and practice-relevant understanding of the significant risks to the future performance of the human and natural systems they are managing.

Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes: Volume 8

A History of Scientific Reconstructions of the Past and Future

Climate by Proxy

This book examines how cities address environmental concerns, identifying key the strategies used and suggesting solutions for future action. It is invaluable reading for students, researchers, and policymakers in environmental sustainability, climate change, urban studies and planning, and public policy.
