Revised edition of: The weather observer's handbook: Cambridge University Press, 2012.

This freshly updated handbook provides a comprehensive, practical, and independent guide to all aspects of making weather observations, emphasising modern instruments and automatic weather stations. It is ideal for both amateur observers choosing their first weather instruments and for professional observers looking for up-to-date guidelines.

Organizational Response to Climate Change: Businesses, Governments

Non-governmental and civil society organizations have long been recognized as crucial players in climate politics. Today, thanks to the internet, social media, satellite, and more, climate activists are pioneering new organizational forms and strategies. Organizations like Fridays for Future, 350.org, and GetUp! have used social media and other digital platforms to mobilize millions of people. Many NGOs use digital tools to collect and analyze 'big data' on environmental factors, and to investigate and prosecute environmental crimes. Although the rise of digitally based advocacy organizations is well documented, we know less about how digital technologies are used in different aspects of climate activism, and with what effects. On this basis, we ask: how do NGOs use digital technology to campaign for climate action? What are the benefits and downsides of using technology to push for political change? To what extent does technology influence the goals activists strive for and their strategies.

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.

Routledge Handbooks in Applied Ethics

The Routledge Handbook of Applied Climate Change Ethics is a powerful reference source for the identification and exploration of the underlying ethical issues in climate change law and policy. Bridging theory with practice, it takes ethical engagement out of the classroom and into the halls of governance.

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.

Managing Their Consequences

Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes: Volume 8

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.

Modern Cosmology, Third Edition provides a detailed introduction to the field of cosmology. Beginning with the smooth, homogeneous universe described by a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric, this trusted resource includes careful treatments of dark energy, big bang nucleosynthesis, recombination, and dark matter. The reader is then introduced to perturbations about an FLRW universe: their evolution with the Einstein-Boltzmann equations, their primordial generation by inflation, and their observational consequences: the acoustic peaks in the CMB; the E/B decomposition in polarization; gravitational lensing of the CMB and large-scale structure; and the BAO standard ruler and redshift-space distortions in galaxy clustering. This revised third edition includes updates such as new sections on gravitational waves, line intensity mapping, and emergent analysis techniques; expanded sections of CMB secondaries; and revised figures and pedagogy. These revisions serve to enhance a comprehensive foundational text, as well as provide users with improvements that are aligned with recent advances in the field, as well as modern focuses in the classroom.

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

Projecting regional climate change over the next century remains challenging due to the chaotic nature of weather, but it is made more reliable through reconstructions of paleoweather in relation to climate change in atmospheric and ocean circulation, winds, waves, currents and precipitation. This primer presents a cross-disciplinary treatment of large-scale and synoptic climatology to the reconstruction of past climates under the umbrella of synoptic paleoclimatology, providing the theory and application of synoptic paleoclimatology to the study and prediction of future climate evolution. Climate proxy and data-model assimilation methodologies are described in detail, focusing on coasts, the surface ocean, glaciers and ice sheets. It also presents a state-of-the-art synthesis of regional climate history across the Southern Hemisphere, including tropical coral reefs, coasts, alpine glaciers and Antarctica. This book will be invaluable to advanced students, researchers and practitioners in climatology, paleoclimatology, meteorology, coastal geoscience, glaciology, oceanography, global change and climate-risk assessment.

Synoptic Paleoclimatology

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the environmental, economic, and health impacts of climate change already being felt by vulnerable countries. It features personal stories from local pastoralists, peasant farmers, youth activists, and vulnerable workers worldwide, highlighting the human side of climate change. The book presents the work that the Climate Vulnerability Forum (CVF) and its V20 Finance Ministers (CVF-V20, now 68 countries) have done to push for urgent global cooperation on the climate crisis. Detailed case studies from many CVF-V20 countries illustrate the need for adaptation and resilience and offer a blueprint for action that can be followed by others. The book offers invaluable insight for students of environmental studies and economics, Earth sciences, human and political geography, and political science, as well as for activists, policymakers, and concerned citizens. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Climate Change Through the Eyes of the Most Vulnerable

From Crisis to Action

Fossils and Earth Time: Evolution and Biostratigraphy presents an in-depth examination of both micro- and macrofossils, showcasing their evolution and biostratigraphy throughout the Phanerozoic Era.
