Описание: How is a changing climate affecting hurricanes, and how are these changes intersecting with our changing exposure and vulnerability in ways that affect tropical cyclone risk? Crucially, how should this understanding be incorporated into risk management practice? This book takes a cross-sectoral look at how damaging tropical cyclone characteristics are changing and presents novel approaches to integrate science with risk assessment. In this new era of tropical cyclone impacts, understanding effective risk management practice in a changing climate is more important than ever. This book details the outcomes of new research focusing on climate risk related to hurricanes in a changing climate. Topics include characteristics of tropical cyclone risk, perspectives on hurricane risk management strategies in the built environment, and implications for commercial risk. Inspired by the Symposium on Hurricane Risk in a Changing Climate, this book brings together leading international academics and researchers, and provides a source reference for both risk managers and climate scientists for research on the interface between tropical cyclones, climate, and risk. 8 chapters are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

Описание:
This title, first published in 1973, covers the period of 1959 to 1968. The study suggests that government policies had very little effect on the employment structures of the sub-regions at this time, despite government intervention and policy objectives in Great Britain to reduce levels of unemployment in the depressed regions and curb congestion in the Midland and South East England conurbations. Instead, regional employment structures seemed to be determined by what was happening to industries at a national level.
This study will be of interest to economists, planners, regional scientists and geographers, as well as students in these fields.
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

Описание: Mangroves are basically salt tolerant forest ecosystems found mainly in tropical and sub-tropical inter-tidal regions. Till about 1960s, mangroves were largely viewed as “economically unproductive areas” and were therefore destroyed for reclaiming land for various economic and commercial activities. Gradually, with the passage of time, the economic and ecological benefits of mangroves have become visible and their importance is now well appreciated. Today, mangroves are observed in about 30 countries in tropical subtropical regions covering an area of about 99,300 Sq.Km. However, during the past 50 years, over 50% of the mangrove cover has been lost, mainly because of the increased pressure of human activities like shrimp farming and agriculture, forestry, salt extraction, urban development, tourist development and infrastructure. Also, dam on rivers, contamination of sea waters caused by heavy metals, oil spills, pesticides and other products etc. have been found to be responsible for the decline of mangroves. Although the temperature effect on growth and species diversity is not known, sea-level rise may pose a serious threat to these ecosystems The present book addresses all these important issues in separate chapters with some interesting case studies whose data may serve as pathfinder for future researches in the sphere of the influence of climate change on mangrove ecosystem. The role of mangroves in the sector of bioremediation is a unique feather in the crown of this coastal and brackishwater vegetation that may be taken up by the coastal industries in order to maintain the health of ambient environment. This book seeks to discover and to assess the vulnerability of climate change on mangrove flora and fauna, their role in carbon sequestration and some interesting case studies by some groups of dedicated researchers that may serve as the basis of future climate related policies.
