Today, climate-related processes and problems are referred to as
Global Change by nearly everyone including scientists, politicians,
and economists; citizens worldwide are anxious about the often ob
served disorientation of our environment under the influence of
man. Better information on the Earth's natural systems and their
possible alterations is necessary. The topic itself is so wide that
sound scien tific descriptions of it as a whole are rare. For the
non-specialist infor mation from relevant fields is not easy to
obtain; and often, the pro gnostic models presented are
contradictory and even for specialists difficult to evaluate.
Therefore, this book on Climate, Earth Processes and Earth History
by Richard Huggett fills an important gap. It discusses the great,
climate-related areas of the Earth's environment. The atmosphere,
the hydrosphere, the sediments as products of weathering and
geomorphic processes, the relief as landforms and soils, and the
biosphere are thoroughly treated as the prominent sub systems which
are greatly affected by climate. These subsystems not only control
the visual and internal aspects of our landscapes, but they are
themselves especially influenced by climatic changes which can be
due to either changes in the natural system or anthropogenic
changes. Thus, our landscapes will be subject to significant altera
tions, if climatic variations exceed certain thresholds. The plan
for the present book by Richard Huggett was originally discussed in
regard to the Springer Series on Physical Environment."
