How does your cell phone know where you are right now? How is our planet changing due to geodynamic processes and ongoing climate change? How can these changes be precisely measured from space in order to obtain reliable information about the melting of ice sheets or the threat to coastal regions from rising sea levels? This popular science book provides answers to these and many other socially relevant questions. It is aimed at interested nonprofessionals who want to learn more about our fascinating planet, but also at experts in natural sciences. You are taken on an exciting journey through time from the first surveys in ancient times to the satellite era, which is providing us with a global view of our home planet. Illustrative examples demonstrate how deeply global positioning and navigation with satellites pervade our daily life, and what fundamental contributions geodesy makes to understanding the Earth system and determining the effects of climate change. With interview contributions by Gunter Hein, Harald Lesch and Stefan Rahmstorf. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Mission Erde by Detlef Angermann et al., published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). Content and language were subsequently revised by the authors. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

The Climate Crisis - An Introductory Guide to Climate Change (Paperback): David Archer, Stefan Rahmstorf The Climate Crisis - An Introductory Guide to Climate Change (Paperback)

R1,174 Discovery Miles 11 740 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

An incredible wealth of scientific data on global warming has been collected in the last few decades. The history of the Earth's climate has been probed by drilling into polar ice sheets and sediment layers of the oceans' vast depths, and great advances have been made in computer modelling of our climate. This book provides a concise and accessible overview of what we know about ongoing climate change and its impacts, and what we can do to confront the climate crisis. Using clear and simple graphics in full colour, it lucidly highlights information contained in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and brings the subject completely up-to-date with current science and policy. The book makes essential scientific information on this critical topic accessible to a broad audience. Obtaining sound information is the first step in preventing a serious, long-lasting degradation of our planet's climate, helping to ensure our future survival.

Woher weiß Ihr Handy, wo Sie gerade unterwegs sind? Wie verändert sich unser Planet aufgrund von geodynamischen Prozessen und dem fortschreitenden Klimawandel? Wie können diese Veränderungen präzise aus dem Weltraum vermessen werden, um verlässliche Aussagen etwa über das Abschmelzen der Eisschilde oder die Bedrohung von Küstenregionen durch den steigenden Meeresspiegel zu erhalten? Das vorliegende Sachbuch gibt Antworten auf diese gesellschaftlich relevanten Fragen. Es richtet sich an interessierte Laien, die mehr über unseren faszinierenden Planeten erfahren wollen, aber auch an Fachexperten naturwissenschaftlicher Disziplinen. Sie werden mitgenommen auf eine spannende Zeitreise von den ersten Vermessungen in der Antike bis in das Zeitalter der Satelliten, die uns die weltweite Bestimmung von extrem genauen Positionen und eine globale Sicht auf unseren Heimatplaneten ermöglichen. Anhand anschaulicher Beispiele wird vermittelt, wie tief die globale Positionierung und Navigation mit Satelliten unseren Alltag durchdrungen haben, und welche fundamentalen Beiträge die Geodäsie als die Wissenschaft von der Vermessung der Erde zum Verständnis des Erdsystems und zur Bestimmung der Auswirkungen des Klimawandels liefert. Mit Interviewbeiträgen von Günter Hein, Harald Lesch und Stefan Rahmstorf
