Books in the Environmental Sciences series

The book includes important contributions that discuss state-of-the-art techniques and technologies for monitoring lentic and lotic water environments. It includes contributions that deepen and integrate the knowledge of the impacts and pressures of surrounding environments in the monitoring techniques of aquatic environments. Furthermore, the book presents studies relating to the management of inland waters and related indicators to identify the most common pollution problems.

This book provides important and valuable insights into the genesis of tropical cyclones. It is based on scientific findings from the performance of satellite data processing and a series of scientific marine expeditions to the tropics.

With almost 1,000 references to publications and reports, this book covers the complete literature of the subject and provides a systematic review of climate change in almost all of its aspects.

The author begins by describing the history of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and many other conferences, and their dire predictions on global temperatures, rainfall, weather and climate, while highlighting confusion and sensationalism media reports.
