Greenhouse Effect, Sea Level and Drought

This book discusses climate change's effects on sea levels and drought, based on findings from a NATO workshop. Greenhouse Effect, Sea Level and Drought offers valuable insights into environmental management.

The book Greenhouse Effect, Sea Level and Drought explores critical environmental issues stemming from climate change, focusing on the interconnection between rising sea levels, drought conditions, and the greenhouse effect. It delves into the scientific research conducted during the NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, in March 1989, where experts gathered to discuss the implications of these phenomena on global ecosystems and human societies. The proceedings capture the insights and findings of various researchers in the field of geohydrology and environmental management, shedding light on the challenges posed by climate change.

In Greenhouse Effect, Sea Level and Drought, the authors present a comprehensive overview of the environmental changes observed over the past decades, linking them to human activities and natural processes. The text emphasizes the importance of understanding periglacial loess deposits and coastal erosion, which are critical to predicting future scenarios. It also highlights the collaborative efforts between institutions such as the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and NATO, showcasing the role of interdisciplinary research in addressing global environmental issues.

The book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and students interested in climate science and environmental management. By compiling the findings from the NATO workshop, Greenhouse Effect, Sea Level and Drought aims to inform ongoing discussions about sustainable practices and mitigation strategies to cope with the pressing challenges of climate change and its impact on sea levels and drought occurrences.
