Stable Isotopes in Tree Rings : Inferring Physiological, Climatic and Environ…
This Open Access volume highlights how tree ring stable isotopes have been used to address a range of environmental issues from paleoclimatology to forest management, and anthropogenic impacts on forest growth. It will further evaluate weaknesses and strengths of isotope applications in tree rings. In contrast to older tree ring studies, which predominantly applied a pure statistical approach t…

Beyond climate breakdown :envisioning new stories of radical hope
"Despite enormous scientific and media attention focused on the topic, real progress against climate change has been frustratingly slow. Why? Peter Friederici claims that this failure is largely due to narrative--specifically, to the existence of numerous compelling narratives of denial that are closely tied to our political, economic, religious, and psychological belief systems. By analyzing h…

Hydrological Hazard : Analysis and Prevention
Due to the considerable impacts of hydrological hazards on water resources, natural environments, and human activities, as well as on human health and safety, climate variability and climate change have become key issues for the research community. In fact, a warmer climate, with its heightened climate variability, will increase the risk of hydrological extreme phenomena, such as droughts and f…

Statistical Analysis and Stochastic Modelling of Hydrological Extremes
Hydrological extremes have become a major concern because of their devastating consequences and their increased risk as a result of climate change and the growing concentration of people and infrastructure in high-risk zones. The analysis of hydrological extremes is challenging due to their rarity and small sample size, and the interconnections between different types of extremes and becomes fu…
