Climate change has been a central concern over recent years, with
visible and highly publicized consequences such as melting Arctic
ice and mountain glaciers, rising sea levels, and the submersion of
low-lying coastal areas during mid-latitude and tropical cyclones.
This book presents a review of the spatial impacts of contemporary
climate change, with a focus on a systematic, multi-scalar
approach. Beyond the facts - rises in temperature, changes in the
spatial distribution of precipitation, melting of the marine and
terrestrial cryosphere, changes in hydrological regimes at high and
medium latitudes, etc. - it also analyzes the geopolitical
consequences in the Arctic and Central Asia, changes to
Mediterranean culture and to viticulture on a global scale, as well
as impacts on the distribution of life, for example, in the Amazon
rainforest, in large biomes on a global scale, and for birds.
