Description
Explaining the what, the how and the why of climate science, this multidisciplinary new book provides a review of research from the last decade, illustrated with cutting-edge data and observations. A key focus is the development of analysis tools that can be used to demonstrate options for mitigating and adapting to increasing climate risks. Emphasis is given to the importance of Earth system feedback mechanisms and the role of the biosphere. The book explains advances in modelling, process understanding and observations, and the development of consistent and coherent studies of past, present and 'possible' climates. This highly illustrated, data-rich book is written by leading scientists involved in QUEST, a major UK-led research programme. It forms a concise and up-to-date reference for academic researchers or students in the fields of climatology, Earth system science and ecology, and also a vital resource for professionals and policymakers working on any aspect of global change. Written with input from ongoing dialogues between scientists and policy stakeholders, addressing questions of societal and policy relevance in an informed yet accessible way Online resources provide researchers and policymakers with practical, engaging extra materials on this key topic Much of the data shown in figures is accessible to readers through the QUEST Earth System Data Initiative, providing researchers in related fields with a valuable research resource
