Encyclopedia of Modern Coral Reefs
Coral reefs are the largest landforms built by plants and animals. Their study therefore incorporates a wide range of disciplines. This encyclopedia approaches coral reefs from an earth science perspective, concentrating especially on modern reefs. Currently coral reefs are under high stress, most prominently from climate change with changes to water temperature, sea level and ocean acidification particularly damaging. Modern reefs have evolved through the massive environmental changes of the Quaternary with long periods of exposure during glacially lowered sea level periods and short periods of interglacial growth. The entries in this encyclopedia condense the large amount of work carried out since Charles Darwin first attempted to understand reef evolution. Leading authorities from many countries have contributed to the entries covering areas of geology, geography and ecology, providing comprehensive access to the most up-to-date research on the structure, form and processes operating on Quaternary coral reefs.

Lokal verankert--weltweit vernetzt
Der globale Wandel der Okosysteme kritisch beleuchtet. Im Mittelpunkt der einzelnen Beitrage des Geographentages stehen die vielfaltigen Verflechtungen und Abhangigkeiten von lokalen und globalen Strukturen. Das Thema des Geographentages 1999 in Hamburg setzt den Akzent auf Fragestellungen, die sich auf den globalen Wandel in seinen okologischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Formen beziehen. Dazu gehoren besonders die regionalen Auswirkungen globaler Umweltverande-rungen, neue Formen weltweiter wirtschaftlicher Verflechtungen als Folge der Globalisierung oder Umbruch- und Konfliktsituationen in den Entwicklungslandern nach dem Ende des Ost-West-Gegensatzes. Die einzelnen Sektionen der Tagung befassten sich mit folgenden Themen: "Kusten und Meere im globalen Wandel" - "Weltwirtschaft, Mobilitat und Hafenstadte" - "Die Zukunft der Entwicklungslander" und "Geographie zwischen dem 19. und 20. Jahrhundert".
