Produktinformationen zu „Climate Change (PDF)“
This book is designed for first- and second-year university
students (and their instructors) in earth science, environmental
science, and physical geography degree programmes worldwide. The
summaries at the end of each section constitute essential reading
for policy makers and planners. It provides a simple but masterly
account, with a minimum of equations, of how the Earth's
climate system works, of the physical processes that have given
rise to the long sequence of glacial and interglacial periods of
the Quaternary, and that will continue to cause the climate to
evolve. Its straightforward and elegant description, with an
abundance of well chosen illustrations, focuses on different time
scales, and includes the most recent research in climate science by
the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC). It shows how it is human behaviour that will determine
whether or not the present century is a turning point to a new
climate, unprecedented on Earth in the last several million
years.

Autoren-Porträt von Marie-Antoinette Mélières, Chloé Maréchal
Marie-Antoinette Mélières, Docteur d'Etatin physics, taught basic physics and, later, climate and
environmental science at Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble 1
and at the University of Savoie. Her research has covered various
areas ranging from molecular spectroscopy and atmospheric physics
to environmental and climate science. In 1995 she established the
newsletter Global Change, published by the French National
Committee on Climate Change, under the authority of the Academy of
Sciences. The Committee is the French branch of the four
international programs IGBP, WCRP, IHDP and Diversitas. She
continued to edit this publication until 2008.
Chloé Maréchal, PhD, geochemist, is Maître
de Conférences in the Observatoire des Sciences de
l'Univers at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, where she
teaches Earth Sciences at first university degree level and at
Masters level. In her research into the biogeochemical cycles of
copper and zinc in the Earth's outer layers, she established a
protocol for using isotopes of these elements by plasma-source mass
spectrometry and investigated their isotopic fractionation in
marine sediments, as well as in soils affected by human activity.
She also worked on the geochemical cycle of boron, using its
isotopic signal in marine biogenic carbonates as tool in
paleo-oceanographic reconstructions.
