Описание: Deserts and desert margins cover nearly half the land area of the globe, are superb repositories of information on past climatic events, and are highly sensitive to possible future climate change. Understanding how deserts responded to past climatic changes can provide useful guidelines for future management of these unique environments.
Expanded and updated with new findings and new features
New chapter on Global Climate providing a self-contained treatment of climate forcing, feedbacks, and climate sensitivity
New chapter on Atmospheric Organic Aerosols and new treatment of the statistical method of Positive Matrix Factorization
Updated treatments of physical meteorology, atmospheric nucleation, aerosol-cloud relationships, chemistry of biogenic hydrocarbons
Each topic developed from the fundamental science to the point of application to real-world problems
New problems at an introductory level to aid in classroom teaching

Описание: California is synonymous with opportunity, prosperity, and natural beauty, but climate change will certainly influence the state's future. Changes will affect the economy, natural resources, public health, agriculture, and the livelihoods of its residents. But how big is the risk? How will Californians adapt? What will it cost? This book is the first to ask and attempt to answer these and other questions so central to the long-term health of the state. While California is undeniably unique and diverse, the challenges it faces will be mirrored everywhere. This succinct and authoritative review of the latest evidence suggests feasible changes that can sustain prosperity, mitigate adverse impacts of climate change, and stimulate research and policy dialog across the globe. The authors argue that the sooner society recognizes the reality of climate change risk, the more effectively we can begin adaptation to limit costs to present and future generations. They show that climate risk presents a new opportunity for innovation, supporting aspirations for prosperity in a lower carbon, climate altered future where we can continue economic progress without endangering the environment and ourselves.
