About the Book

Global Change and Future Earth is derived from the work of several programs of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). It demonstrates how multi- and inter-disciplinary research outputs from the geoscience community can be applied to tackle the physical and societal impacts of climate change and contribute to the Future Earth programme of the International Council for Science. The volume brings together an international team of eminent researchers to provide authoritative reviews on the wide-ranging ramifications of climate change spanning eight key themes: planetary issues; geodetic issues; the Earth's fluid environment; regions of the Earth; urban environments; food security; and risk, safety and security; and climate change and global change. Covering the challenges faced by urban and rural areas, and in both developed and developing counties, this volume provides an important resource for a global audience of graduate students and researchers from a broad range of disciplines, as well as policy advisors and practitioners.

About the Author :
Tom Beer is the Chair of the IUGG Commission on Climatic and Environmental Change (CCEC). He is an expert on environmental risk management, including greenhouse gas and air quality issues and their application to transport and health. Past positions include being President of the Australia-New Zealand chapter of the Society for Risk Analysis and President of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). He was part of the team that won the CSIRO chairman's medal in 2000. Having been a panel member and lead author he was sent a certificate of appreciation by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) when they were awarded half the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. Jianping Li is a professor at the State Key Laboratory of Earth Surface Processes and Resource Ecology and the College of Global Change and Earth System Sciences (GCESS). He is also vice-chair of the IUGG Union Commission on Climatic and Environmental Change (CEC) and Executive Secretary General of the International Commission of Climate (ICCL). His research interests include climatic dynamics and predictability, monsoon, and annular modes. He is also co-editor of the title Dynamics and Predictability of Large-Scale, High-Impact Weather and Climate Event (Cambridge, 2016). Keith Alverson is Director of the UNEP Environment International Environmental Technology Centre in Osaka, Japan. In the past he has served as Coordinator of the Freshwater, Land and Climate Branch of the Ecosystems Division of UN Environment in Nairobi, Kenya; Head of Ocean Observations and Services Section at the intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO in Paris, France; and Executive Director of the Past Global Changes Project in Bern, Switzerland. He is an elected at-large member of the executive committee of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, Executive Secretary of the IUGG Union Commission on Climatic and Environmental Change, and past president of the International Commission of Climate.
