Books in the Advances in Global Change Research series

Our views and understanding of variations in climate, geomorphological processes and the interrelationships that exist between climatic changes and land surface changes, both now and in the past, have developed greatly over the last decade.

The proposed book is not only a tribute to the work of Bruckner (and indeed also a personal tribute, since Bruckner wrote his book at the Institute of Geography of the University of Bern), but references to Bruckner's book are also a conceptual tool in the proposed book, though used sparingly and thoughtfully.

This book provides a detailed overview on methods used for the dating of past torrential activity on fans and cones and fosters the discussion on the impact of past and potential future climate change on torrential processes. The limits of each dating method in case of excessive natural and human interventions on fans and cones are shown.

Volume 2 of a three-volume final report thoroughly describes, synthesizes and analyzes the results of the four-year Integrated Research Project CIRCE - Climate Change and Impact Research: Mediterranean Environment, funded by the EU 6th Framework Programme.

Beginning with an overview of data and concepts developed in the EU-project HABIT-CHANGE, this book addresses the need for sharing knowledge and experience in the field of biodiversity conservation and climate change.

Micro-Behavioral Economics of Global Warming

No other book can offer such a powerful tool to understand the basics of remote sensing for precipitation, to make use of existing products and to have a glimpse of the near future missions and instruments.
