Описание: Mike Hulme provides a unique insider`s account of climate change and the diverse ways in which it is understood. He uses different standpoints from science, economics, faith, psychology, communication, sociology, politics and development to explain why we disagree about this important phenomenon.
Extreme Hydroclimatic Events in a Changing Environment reviews multi-variate hazards in a non-stationary environment. It covers both short and long term predictions from earth observations along with long-term climate dynamics, and models. It provides a detailed overview of remotely sensed observations, current and future satellite missions useful for hydrologic studies and water resources engineering, a review of hydroclimatic hazards. Given these tools, readers can improve their abilities to monitor, model, and predict these extremes with remote sensing.
Extreme Hydroclimatic Events in a Changing Environment additionally covers multi-variate hazards, like landslides, in case studies that analyze the combination of natural hazards and their impact on the natural and built environment using real examples. Additionally, it ties hydroclimatic hazards into the Sendai Framework, providing another set of tools for reducing disaster impacts.
Emphasizes recent and future satellite missions to study, monitor, and forecast hydroclimatic hazards
Each chapter includes a chapter summary with key concepts presented in the form of Q&A with answers provided at the end of the book
Provides a complete overview and differentiation of remotely sensed products useful for monitoring extreme hydroclimatic and related events
Provides real-life examples and applications of integrating remote sensing products to study complex multi-hydroclimatic hazards
