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.
