Sie kennen vielleicht das Gefühl: Sie lesen eine Aussage zum Klimawandel und eine Minute später das genaue Gegenteil. Was ist nun wahr? Wie kann ich als Laie oder Fachfremder mitdiskutieren und Argumente finden, ohne selbst Fake News zu verbreiten? Man findet Bücher, die den Klimawandel erklären, und solche, die ihm äußerst kritisch gegenüberstehen. Die Klimawandel FAQs bieten Ihnen erstmals eine systematische, umfassende und wertende Gegenüberstellung beider Seiten - Ablehnung des Klimawandels ebenso wie Klimaforschung - und geben passend abgestufte Werkzeuge an die Hand. Wir erklären, wie man Denkfehler und Manipulationstechniken erkennen, ihnen begegnen und seine Meinung vertreten kann, und beantworten dabei folgende Fragen: - Gibt es überhaupt eine globale Erwärmung? - Ist die Erwärmung natürlich oder wird sie vom Menschen verursacht? - Wäre die Erwärmung nicht eigentlich ganz praktisch?

Mid-Latitude Slope Deposits (Cover Beds), Second Edition focuses on widespread deposits and discusses their properties, genesis and age in subdued mountains of Central Europe, where to date most research on the matter has been conducted. The ecological consequences of such slope deposits on soils, slope water dynamics, and slope failures are addressed. Finally, transfer of the cover-bed concept to other mid-latitude regions is attempted for the reconstruction of landscape evolution. This unique compilation, covering several decades of a facies-oriented approach to slope-deposit research delivers deep insights into the wide field of research on cover beds and encourages researchers all over the world. This is a valuable resource for students, academics and researchers in geomorphology, quaternary sciences, pedology, hydrology, and sedimentology.

Slope deposits are common in any inclined relief. So-called cover beds may veil entire landscapes, in which case they are commonly overlooked or confused with soil horizons. This book focuses on these widespread deposits and discusses their properties, genesis, and age mainly in subdued mountains of Central Europe, where to date most research on the matter has been conducted. The ecological consequences of such slope deposits on soils, slope water dynamics, and slope failures are addressed. Finally, transfer of the cover-bed concept to other mid-latitude regions is attempted for the reconstruction of landscape evolution.

This unique compilation, covering several decades of a facies-oriented approach to slope-deposit research, delivers deep insight into the wide field of research on cover beds and encourages researchers all over the world to take an in-depth look at the critical zone as to its possible stratified nature.
