This book provides effective statistical analyses in benthic foraminiferal communities patterns and show solutions for sea-land processes and alterations caused by climate changes and other local (and global) environmental concerns. Our goal is to provide, through these chapters, the monitoring and forecasting of environmental impacts with accurate data. We identify global regions most subject to industrial pollution, contamination and sewage, identifying potential sites prone to accumulate organic matter, which effects erosion, deposition, ocean temperature and pH changes (warming, cooling,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This book provides effective statistical analyses in benthic foraminiferal communities patterns and show solutions for sea-land processes and alterations caused by climate changes and other local (and global) environmental concerns. Our goal is to provide, through these chapters, the monitoring and forecasting of environmental impacts with accurate data. We identify global regions most subject to industrial pollution, contamination and sewage, identifying potential sites prone to accumulate organic matter, which effects erosion, deposition, ocean temperature and pH changes (warming, cooling, acidification), climate and sea-level changes. Benthic habitats, specifically foraminiferal (single celled microorganisms found in the water column and sediment) contribute to our understanding of local and global climate change that effect at risk communities. Derived through the accuracy of oceanographic climate science, allow us to predict with the intention to alleviate potential loss in coastal areas, which are, the most vulnerable to ocean warming, cooling, acidification, and sea-level rise impacts. We unravel the mystery of the Environmental Impacts and Climate Change, helping communities prepare, adjust, adapt, and minimize effects or remediate loss. We show how to pinpoint the most vulnerable and specific sites for economic and social damage and loss, using foraminifera, an inexpensive and easily handled proxy valuable for monitoring coastal and marine environmental stressors.

The implications of those problems and the ability to forecast patterns on land are primary issues we address by studying marine sediment of beaches, estuaries, bays and deep water worldwide. Ecology, biology, life history, and taxonomy of modern Foraminifera allows us to examine the current and historical record of environmental change effects, and predict implications for future sea-level rise, and ocean patterns.
The prediction of responses of interacting systems to these problems, and development of strategies is needed to inform leadership with the knowledge and data to effectively implement policy, making this book a very informative and significant contribution for researchers and decision makers.

Patricia P.B. Eichler EcoLogicProject¿s Chief Scientist, Academic Advisor and Cofounder; Professor Eichler is a multi-linguist and mentors undergraduate, masters and PhD students at private and public universities and schools internationally. She gives students a positive and welcoming experience to help them thrive in their science training. This includes the opportunity to boost their careers as co-authors within her extensive publications in books, journals, articles, and press releases. Professor ¿Doctor for Life¿ Eichler is among the world¿s foremost scientists in the biological oceanographic environment, with specialized experience in coastal processes, communities dynamics and biodiversity, sediment transport and estuarine dynamics. Christofer Paul Barker Cofounder and Operations Coordinator, Christofer is passionate about EcoLogicProject¿s mentorship and consultancy ability to accurately forecast climate change effects, and provide disaster mitigation and remediation solutions. His dedication to environmental sustainability and vision of bringing fact based climate science forward has coalesced into collaboration with Dr. Patricia Eichler and her international oceanic climatological research. Land-ocean-atmosphere interactions and mechanisms research allows him to also contribute as editor in numerous science publications, and provide scientific technical support for the public, students and client¿s services and needs. His consultancy services include eco-stewardship solutions for viable sustainable nontoxic alternatives, leading to The EcoLogicProject Partnership.
