Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book tackles an issue of major importance in interdisciplinary research - how to overcome the disparities in spatial and temporal scales used in different scientific disciplines. This topic is of particular importance now as the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, which is being led by the editor of the book, Tom Rosswall, is looking for joint contributions from physical and biological scientists. The book contains papers by atmospheric scientists, biologists, geomorphologists and marine scientists, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the Geosphere-Biosphere programme.
