Описание: This book presents a historical and ethnographic study of changing mangrove management in northern Vietnam over the past 100 years, grounded in a case study in the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam.
Описание: Oil and gas companies now recognize that industrial projects in the Canadian North can only succeed if Aboriginal communities are involved in decision-making processes. Where the Rivers Meet is an ethnographic account of Sahtu Dene involvement in the environmental assessment of the Mackenzie Gas Project, a massive pipeline that, if completed, would have unprecedented effects on Aboriginal communities in the North. The book reveals that while there has been some progress in establishing avenues for Dene participation in decision making, the ultimate assessment of such projects remains rooted in non-local beliefs about the nature of the environment, the commodification of land, and the inevitability of a hydrocarbon-based economy.
Описание: This book attempts to bridge the gap between the climate change research and decision-making communities by exploring the impacts of climate change on groundwater from a more applied perspective.

Описание: This book presents chapters, written by leading coastal scientists, which collectively depict the current understanding of the processes that shape barrier islands and barrier spits, with an emphasis on the response of these landforms to changing conditions. A majority of the world’s population lives along the coast at the dynamic intersection between terrestrial and marine ecosystems and landscapes. As narrow, low-lying landforms, barriers are especially vulnerable to changes in sea level, storminess, the geographic distribution of grass species, and the rate of sand supply—some barriers will undergo rapid changes in state (e.g., from landward migrating to disintegrating), on human time scales. Attempts by humans to prevent change can hasten the loss of these landforms, threatening their continued existence as well as the recreational, financial and ecosystem service benefits they provide. Understanding the processes and interactions that drive landscape response to climate change and human actions is essential to adaptation. As managers and governments struggle to plan for the future along low-lying coasts worldwide, and scientists conduct research that provides useful guidance, this volume offers a much-needed compilation for these groups, as well as a window into the science of barrier dynamics for anyone who is generally interested in the impacts of a changing world on coastal environments.

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
