Temperature and precipitation increase and decrease because of
natural causes. However, anthropogenic changes, such as an enhanced
greenhouse effect, may result in alterations in the regional
climate and in relative sea level. Serious changes in climate and
sea level-with adverse effects particularly along low-lying
coasts-would affect millions of people. Climate Change takes an
in-depth, worldwide look at coastal habitation with respect to
these natural and anthropogenic changes.
No universally applicable coastal model can be used to describe
climatic changes. This unique book provides individual discussions
of beaches and barrier islands, cliffs, deltas, tidal flats and
wetlands, reefs, and atolls. The impact of climatic change on
coastal ecology and agriculture is investigated, and human
responses to the effects of climatic change along the world's
coasts are included.
