Eddy Covariance
This highly practical handbook is an exhaustive treatment of eddy covariance measurement that will be of keen interest to scientists who are not necessarily specialists in micrometeorology. The chapters cover measuring fluxes using eddy covariance technique, from the tower installation and system dimensioning to data collection, correction and analysis. With a state-of-the-art perspective, the authors examine the latest techniques and address the most up-to-date methods for data processing and quality control. The chapters provide answers to data treatment problems including data filtering, footprint analysis, data gap filling, uncertainty evaluation, and flux separation, among others. The a...
Climate Change 2021 – The Physical Science Basis
The Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a comprehensive assessment of the physical science basis of climate change. It considers in situ and remote observations; paleoclimate information; understanding of climate drivers and physical, chemical, and biological processes and feedbacks; global and regional climate modelling; advances in methods of analyses; and insights from climate services. It assesses the current state of the climate; human influence on climate in all regions; future climate change including sea level rise; global warming effects including extremes; climate information for risk assessment and regional adaptation; limiting climate change by reaching net zero carbon dioxide emissions and reducing other greenhouse gas emissions; and benefits for air quality. The report serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with the latest policy-relevant information on climate change. Available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
False Alarm
An “essential” (Times UK) and “meticulously researched” (Forbes) book by “the skeptical environmentalist” argues that panic over climate change is causing more harm than good Hurricanes batter our coasts. Wildfires rage across the American West. Glaciers collapse in the Artic. Politicians, activists, and the media espouse a common message: climate change is destroying the planet, and we must take drastic action immediately to stop it. Children panic about their future, and adults wonder if it is even ethical to bring new life into the world. Enough, argues bestselling author Bjorn Lomborg. Climate change is real, but it's not the apocalyptic threat that we've been told it is. Projections of Earth's imminent demise are based on bad science and even worse economics. In panic, world leaders have committed to wildly expensive but largely ineffective policies that hamper growth and crowd out more pressing investments in human capital, from immunization to education. False Alarm will convince you that everything you think about climate change is wrong -- and points the way toward making the world a vastly better, if slightly warmer, place for us all.
Téves riasztás
Úgy tartja a mondás, hogy a mókust az különbözteti meg a patkánytól, hogy jobb a PR-ja. A természettudományokon belül az elmúlt évtizedekben valószínűleg a klímakutatás volt a mókus, hiszen egyetlen más tudományág sem tudott olyan hatékonyan beszivárogni a társadalmi közbeszédbe, és ezen belül a fiataljaink életébe, hogy még saját fóbiát is elnevezzenek róla: klímaszorongás. A médiának és megmondóembereinek, valamint a szakértők bizonyos körének hisztériakeltése, tudományosan kevéssé megalapozott állításai miatt mára az egyik legfenyegetőbb félelemmé a klímakatasztrófa vált. BJØRN LOMBORG két évtizede foglalkozik az éghajlat...

Klimapanik
Ein Buch über die Klimapolitik, das den Klimawandel nicht leugnet, aber die Maßnahmen zu dessen Eindämmung kritisch hinterfragt. Hitzewellen, Dürren und Starkregen in Deutschland, Wirbelstürme, Waldbrände und schmelzende Gletscher im Rest der Welt. Die Reaktion von Politikern, Aktivisten und die Medien besteht in einer einzigen, gemeinsam vorgetragen und dramatisch zugespitzten Botschaft: Der Klimawandel zerstört den Planeten, und wir müssen sofort drastische Maßnahmen ergreifen, um ihn zu stoppen. Diese Hysterie ist nicht nur übertrieben, sondern sie ist auch nicht hilfreich, so argumentiert der Naturwissenschaftler und »skeptische Umweltschützer« Bjorn Lomborg. Ja, der Klimawa...
Falsa alarma
Inmersos en noticias de huracanes azotando las costas, de un aumento del nivel del mar que amenaza con hacer desaparecer a países enteros y de incendios forestales arrasando extensas zonas del planeta, no es de extrañar que la lucha contra el calentamiento global se haya convertido en una de las prioridades de los gobiernos de todo el mundo. En los últimos diez años, hemos pasado de discutir sobre si el cambio climático es real a apostar sobre cuánto tardará en extinguirse la vida en la Tierra. Los niños viven angustiados ante semejante relato de su futuro y los adultos se preguntan incluso si es ético traer más vidas al mundo. Bjorn Lomborg cree que nos convendría analizar más d...

Ecological Informatics
Ecological Informatics promotes interdisciplinary research between ecology and computer science on elucidation of principles of information processing in ecosystems, ecological sustainability by informed decision making, and bio-inspired computation. The 2nd edition of the book consolidates the scope, concepts, and techniques of this newly emerging discipline by a new preface and additional chapters on cellular automata, qualitative reasoning, hybrid evolutionary algorithms and artificial neural networks. It illustrates numerous applications of Ecological Informatics for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, image recognition at micro- and macro-scale as well as computer hardware design. Case studies focus on applications of artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, cellular automata, adaptive agents, fuzzy logic as well as qualitative reasoning. The 2nd edition of the book includes an index with novel evolutionary algorithms for the discovery of multiple nonlinear functions and rule sets as well as parameter optimisation in complex ecological data.
