Polar Seas Oceanography
Rapid development of Earth observation satellite using remote sensing techniques enables observations of the oceanic processes by sea and airborne study to be carried out over vast areas in a short time. This first book written by Russian and Norwegian scientists is an analysis of studies of the Kara Sea and presents a unique catalogue of environmental and pollution data of the joint Norwegian and Russian oceanographic expedition studies of the Kara Sea spanning three decades.
The Aral Sea Environment

Radioactivity and Pollution in the Nordic Seas and Arctic
This book describes a new tool called the Generic Model System for simulations and assessment of potential radioactive spreading in the Arctic regions. It considers the present and future potential for spreading of radionuclear pollution from sources such as from the major Russian processing plants as well as from European sources such as the UK Sellafield plant. The book combines the expertise of professionals from the radionuclear and climate-change sciences.
Spatial Impacts of Climate Change
Climate change has been a central concern over recent years, with visible and highly publicized consequences such as melting Arctic ice and mountain glaciers, rising sea levels, and the submersion of low-lying coastal areas during mid-latitude and tropical cyclones. This book presents a review of the spatial impacts of contemporary climate change, with a focus on a systematic, multi-scalar approach. Beyond the facts – rises in temperature, changes in the spatial distribution of precipitation, melting of the marine and terrestrial cryosphere, changes in hydrological regimes at high and medium latitudes, etc. – it also analyzes the geopolitical consequences in the Arctic and Central Asia, changes to Mediterranean culture and to viticulture on a global scale, as well as impacts on the distribution of life, for example, in the Amazon rainforest, in large biomes on a global scale, and for birds.
Transboundary Water Resources Management
Based on an international symposium addressing a key issue in global development, this reference includes both the latest methodologies for and practical examples of effective management of transboundary water resources. Its multidisciplinary approach combines hydrology and environmental science with economic and political approaches, in line with new UNESCO and EU recommendations, which have been formulated and implemented with the active involvement of all three editors. By providing a theoretical framework as well as abundant case studies from southern Europe, Africa, Asia and South America, this handbook provides hydrologists, geologists, engineers and decision-makers with all the knowledge they need for their daily work.
Remote Sensing of the Asian Seas
A wide variety of marginal basins, ranging from polar to equatorial regions, and a few sizeable enclosed basins, can all be included among the Asian Seas. The Arctic Ocean shelf seas off Siberia; the sheltered basins along the Pacific Ocean’s western rim; the coastal seas of the northernmost Indian Ocean, including the semi-enclosed Red Sea and Persian Gulf; the Caspian Sea, the remnants of the Aral Sea and a score of brackish or freshwater lakes, such as Lake Balkhash and Lake Baykal; all exhibit a multiplicity of environmental features and processes. Understanding the peculiarities of such a large and varied collection of marine and coastal types requires integrated observation systems, ...

Les impacts spatiaux du changement climatique
Depuis quelques années, le changement climatique est au centre des préoccupations avec des conséquences visibles et fortement médiatisées comme la fonte de la banquise arctique, la fonte des glaciers de montagne, l’élévation du niveau de la mer ou la submersion des littoraux bas lors des tempêtes des latitudes moyennes et des cyclones tropicaux. Cet ouvrage expose une revue des impacts spatiaux du changement climatique contemporain en privilégiant une approche multiscalaire et systémique. Au-delà des faits (élévation de la température, modification de la distribution spatiale des précipitations, fonte de la cryosphère marine et terrestre, modifications des régimes hydrologiques aux hautes et moyennes latitudes, etc.), il analyse également les conséquences géopolitiques en Arctique et en Asie centrale, les changements sur les cultures méditerranéennes et sur la viticulture à l’échelle mondiale, ainsi que les impacts sur la distribution du vivant (forêt amazonienne, grands biomes à l’échelle mondiale, oiseaux, etc.).
