The processes and consequences of climate change are extremely
heterogeneous, encompassing many different fields of study. Dr
David Rind in his career at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space
Studies and as a professor at Columbia University has had the
opportunity to explore many of these subjects with colleagues from
these diverse disciplines. It was therefore natural for the
Lectures in Climate Change series to begin with his colleagues
contributing lectures on their specific areas of expertise.This
first volume, entitled Our Warming Planet: Topics in Climate
Dynamics, encompasses topics such as natural and anthropogenic
climate forcing, climate modeling, radiation, clouds, atmospheric
dynamics/storms, hydrology, clouds, the cryosphere, paleoclimate,
sea level rise, agriculture, atmospheric chemistry, and climate
change education. Included with this publication are downloadable
PowerPoint slides of each lecture for students and teachers around
the world to be better able to understand various aspects of
climate change.The lectures on climate change processes and
consequences provide snapshots of the cutting-edge work being done
to understand what may well be the greatest challenge of our time,
in a form suitable for classroom presentation.
