Public ISBD No review available on this record. Title : CASSIOPEE : Concepts for Advanced Small Satellites to Improve Observation and Preservation of Europe's Environment Material Type: ISU Team Project reports Publisher: Illkirch-Graffenstaden [France] : International Space University Publication Date: 2001 Size: 30 cm General note: Includes bibliographical references Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Artificial satellites in remote sensing--Air Pollution--Europe ; Greenhouse gases--Environmental aspects ; Microspacecraft Abstract: Student report During the last twenty years, environmental concerns have spread from the domestic to the international arena. Environmental issues are currently at the forefront of international discussions and deliberations.[...] Recently the increasing global levels of greenhouse gases (GHG) and its effects on global warming have been the focus of many international debates.[...] The rapid development in micro-technology has made possible micro-satellites. A micro-satellite generally has a mass of less than 100 kg, and uses more capable subsystems which are lighter and less power consuming. The micro-satellite industry is relatively young and not proven. However, the opportunity exists to significantly improve environmental monitoring.

Climate change 2001 / John Theodore Houghton / Cambridge University Press (2001)

Public ISBD No review available on this record. Title : Climate change 2001 : the scientific basis Material Type: books Authors: John Theodore Houghton, Editor ; Y. Ding, Editor ; D. J. Griggs, Editor Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication Date: 2001 Size: 28 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-01495-3 General note: Includes bibliographical references and index Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Climatic changes ; Greenhouse gases--Environmental aspects Abstract: "Climate change 2001: the scientific basis" is the most comprehensive and up-to-date scientific assessment of past, present and future climate change. The report: - Analyses an enormous body of observations of all parts of the climate system. - Catalogues increasing concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases. - Assesses our understanding of the processes and feedbacks which govern the climate system. - Projects scenarios of future climate change using a wide range of models of future emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols. - Makes a detailed study of whether a human influence on climate can be identified. - Suggests gaps in information and understanding that remain in our knowledge of climate change and how these might be addressed. Simply put, this latest assessment of the IPCC will again form the standard scientific reference for all those concerned with climate change and its consequences, including students and researchers in environmental science, meteorology, climatology, biology, ecology and atmospheric chemistry, and policy makers in governments and industry worldwide.

Climate change science and policy / Stephen Henry Schneider / Island Press (2010)

Public ISBD No review available on this record. Title : Climate change science and policy Material Type: books Authors: Stephen Henry Schneider, Author Publisher: Island Press Publication Date: 2010 Pagination: xx, 522 p. Layout: ill., maps Size: 26 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-597-26566-9 General note: Includes bibliographical references and index. Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Climatic changes--Government policy ; Environmental policy--International cooperation ; Greenhouse gases--Environmental aspects Class number: QC981.8.C5 Abstract: In many ways, this volume supersedes the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Many important developments too recent to be treated by the 2007 IPCC documents are covered here. This book considers not only the IPCC report, but also results of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Bali in December 2007, as well as even more recent research data. Overall, Climate Change Science and Policy paints a direr picture of the effects of climate change than do the IPCC reports. It reveals that climate change has progressed faster than the IPCC reports anticipated and that the outlook for the future is bleaker than the IPCC reported. --from publisher description Record link: http://isulibrary.isunet.edu/opac/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=8263 Climate change science and policy [books] / Stephen Henry Schneider, Author . - [S.l.] : Island Press, 2010 . - xx, 522 p. : ill., maps ; 26 cm.
