Environmental Sustainability and Economy contains the latest
practical and theoretical concepts of sustainability science and
economic growth. It includes the latest research on sustainable
development, the impact of pollution due to economic activities,
energy policies and consumption influencing growth and environment,
waste management and recycling, circular economy, and climate
change impacts on both the environment and the economy. The 21st
century has seen the rise of complex and multi-dimensional pathways
between different aspects of sustainability. Due to globalization,
these relationships now work at varying spatiotemporal scales
resulting in global and regional dynamics. This book explores the
complex relationship between sustainable development and economic
growth, linking the environmental and social aspects with the
economic pillar of sustainable development. Utilizing global case
studies and interdisciplinary perspectives, Environmental
Sustainability and Economy provides a comprehensive account of
sustainable development and the economics of environmental
protection studies with a focus on the environmental, geographical,
economic, anthropogenic and social-ecological environment.
Global Climate Change presents both practical and theoretical
aspects of global climate change from across geological periods. It
addresses holistic issues related to climate change and its
contribution in triggering the temperature increase with a
multitude of impacts on natural processes. As a result, it helps to
identify the gaps between policies that have been put in place and
the continuously increasing emissions. The challenges presented
include habitability, biodiversity, natural resources, and human
health. It is organized into information on the past, present, and
future of climate change to lead to a more complete understanding
and therefore effective solutions. Placing an emphasis on recent
climate change research, Global Climate Change helps to bring
researchers and graduate students in climate science, environmental
science, and sustainability up to date on the science of climate
change so far and presents a baseline for how to move into the
future effectively.
Radar Remote Sensing: Applications and Challenges advances the
scientific understanding, development, and application of radar
remote sensing using monostatic, bistatic and multi-static radar
geometry. This multidisciplinary reference pulls together a
collection of the recent developments and applications of radar
remote sensing using different radar geometry and platforms at
local, regional and global levels. Radar Remote Sensing is for
researchers and practitioners with earth and environmental and
meteorological sciences, who are interested in radar remote sensing
in ground based scatterometer and SAR systems; air borne
scatterometer and SAR systems; space borne scatterometer and SAR
systems.
