商品描述
This book offers a solutions-based approach to climate change problems which potentially impinge on human beings within the tropics. It largely comprises research articles with supplementary applications and illustrations. The effects of atmospheric phenomena, energy acquisition, wind power, CO2 sequestration, are linked with soils, aquatic life, reducing deforestation, rainwater harvesting and clay pot farming, climate, plant disease and food security to show that no area of life is untouched by the phenomenon of climate change. It discusses specific problem areas and provides an overview of geotechnical and sustainable solutions to lessen the impact of climate.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了一種以解決方案為基礎的方法來應對可能影響熱帶人類的氣候變化問題。內容主要由研究文章組成,並附有應用案例和插圖。大氣現象、能源獲取、風能、二氧化碳(CO₂)封存的影響,與土壤、水生生物、減少森林砍伐、雨水收集和陶土農業、氣候、植物疾病及糧食安全等相關聯,顯示氣候變化現象無處不在,影響著生活的各個領域。本書討論了特定的問題領域,並提供了地質技術和可持續解決方案的概述,以減輕氣候的影響。
作者簡介
Mark Anglin Harris is a Professor of Applied Climatology and Environmental Chemistry at the Northern Caribbean University (NCU), Jamaica, where he has been on the faculty since 2002. He earned his baccalaureate degree in geography and geology at the University of Windsor, Canada, in 1977, and received his PhD in environmental geoscience from the University of Adelaide in 2001. In 1992-1995 he tutored at the University of Adelaide, Australia, in Earth science & physical geography. His research has focused mainly on remediation of polluted land, water and air. His previous book, published in 2016 by Springer-Nature, is titled "Geobiotechnological Solutions to Anthropogenic Disturbances."
Professor Harris has been the senior author of approximately 30 research articles, having become, so far, the only multiple recipient of the NCU Distinguished Faculty Award for research or scholarship, having won it four times, in 2003, 2007, 2012 and 2016.
