The Mediterranean basin represents one of the most important
"hot spots" of climate change in the world, with recent trends
towards a hotter and drier climate being related to changes in
atmospheric circulation patterns. Such changes can have significant
impacts in the climate of this region but also on the natural
environment and several socioeconomic activities. Among these
patterns, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is one of the main
forcing factors in the region with impact on extreme events such as
droughts, severe precipitations or heat and cold waves, the
availability of water resources, the ecological dynamics, the
quality and quantity of crops, the migration and welfare of animal
populations, the fisheries dynamics, the triggering of landslides
and the air pollution and human health, among others.
The aim of "Hydrological, Socioeconomic and Ecological Impacts
of the North Atlantic Oscillation in the Mediterranean Region, " is
to serve as an updated reference text that covers the wide range of
evidences on the NAO impacts in the Mediterranean regions and from
a multidisciplinary perspective.
This volume constitutes a unique document to present the state
of the art of the numerous studies undertaken on the hydrological,
socioeconomic and ecological impact of the NAO, collecting the
expertise of researchers from several complementary earth science
fields (geography, hydrology, remote-sensing, climatology,
agriculture, energy), but that have been lacking a common
ground.
