Produktbeschreibung

The Earth is continually changing in both its natural and social senses. Global environmental change looks at physical and biological processes and social processes across a range of spatial and temporal scales. "Changing Environments" examines how and why environments change as a result of natural and human-mediated processes and why some changes are becoming significant. It includes consideration of; the time and spatial scales of change that are relevant to our interaction with environments; the effects on environments that arise from human use of resources of energy, land, water and the atmosphere; the role of technology and economics in shaping human actions on our environments; and the use and limitations of quantitative models for analysing environmental change.
