Gender and Climate Change
Does gender matter in global climate change? This timely and provocative book takes readers on a guided tour of basic climate science, then holds up a gender lens to find out what has been overlooked in popular discussion, research, and policy debates. We see that, around the world, more women than men die in climate-related natural disasters; the history of science and war are intimately interwoven masculine occupations and preoccupations; and conservative men and their interests drive the climate change denial machine. We also see that climate policymakers who embrace big science approaches and solutions to climate change are predominantly male with an ideology of perpetual economic growth, and an agenda that marginalizes the interests of women and developing economies. The book uses vivid case studies to highlight the sometimes surprising differential, gendered impacts of climate changes.
Isfritt
Hva gjør forskere når de er ute i felten, hvordan måler de hvor tykk isen er på Grønland og hva har måkefanging å gjøre med klimaforskning? Her finner du 37 tekster som forteller om nordområdene og om hvordan man kommer frem til ny kunnskap om jorden og naturen. Naturvitenskapelig formidling finner vi i alle medier, og her har vi valgt ut noe av det beste som er skrevet i de siste par årene. Alle tekstene belyser temaet isfritt og viser at klimaforskning kan være mangfoldig og spennende. Seks av bidragene er nyskrevne, de andre er plukket fra aviser, magasiner og blogger for å vise bredden av det som formidles i Norge i dag. La våre forskere, studenter, journalister og forfatter...
Paleoclimatology
This two-volume book provides a comprehensive, detailed understanding of paleoclimatology beginning by describing the “proxy data” from which quantitative climate parameters are reconstructed and finally by developing a comprehensive Earth system model able to simulate past climates of the Earth. It compiles contributions from specialists in each field who each have an in-depth knowledge of their particular area of expertise. The first volume is devoted to “Finding, dating and interpreting the evidence”. It describes the different geo-chronological technical methods used in paleoclimatology. Different fields of geosciences such as: stratigraphy, magnetism, dendrochronology, sedimento...
The Encyclopedia of Global Warming Science and Technology
This encyclopedia covers a vast range of topics, concepts, issues and processes on the subject of global warming such as atmospheric chemistry, paleoclimatology, biogeography, oceanography, geophysics, glaciology, soil science, and more.
Climate Change [3 volumes]
This three-volume set presents entries and primary sources that will impress on readers that what we do—or don't do—today regarding climate change will dramatically influence what life on this planet will be like for untold numbers of generations. How are the behaviors of birds, butterflies, and other migratory animals connected to climate change? What does the term "thermal inertia" mean, and what does this geophysical effect have on predicting what the planet's future will be like? What is the context for the effects we are seeing on various forms of animal life, from migrating birds to polar bears to mosquitoes that transmit Zika and other diseases? Climate Change: An Encyclopedia of ...
Gender, Peace and Security
This volume explores the implementation of key gender policies in international peace and security, following the adoption of UN Security Council resolution 1325 in October 2000, the first thematic resolution on Women, Peace and Security. How should we understand women’s participation in peace processes and in peace operations? And what forms of gendered security dynamics are present in armed conflict and international interventions? These questions represent central themes of protection and participation that the international community has to address in order to implement UNSCR 1325. Thus far, the implementation has often employed varying approaches related to gender mainstreaming, a thi...
