内容説明

Changes in global climate between now and the middle of the 21st century are likely to be dominated by the influence of global warming, an inevitable consequence of which will be the rise of sea levels. This book is the first in a series recording the results of studies on the impact of climate changes on the ecologic systems and socio-economic structures of each of the main regional sea areas. The text contains expert contributions from an international team organized under the auspices of UNEP (United Nations Environmental Program).

目次

  • The Mediterranean Sea and climate change
  • future climate of the Mediterranean basin with particular emphasis on changes in precipitation
  • sea level response to climate change and tectonics
  • hydrological and water resources impact of climate change
  • implications of climatic change on land degradation in the Mediterranean
  • implications of climatic change on the socio-economic activities in the Mediterranean coastal zones
  • vegetation and land-use in the Mediterranean basin by the year 2050
  • aspects of the response of the Mediterranean Sea to long term trends in atmospheric forcing
  • predictions of relative coastal sea-level change in the Mediterranean based on archaeological, historical and tide gauge data

内容説明

This is the second volume in a series of books recording the results of studies on the impact of climate change on the ecologic systems and socio-economic structures of the Mediterranean region. Incorporating five entirely new case studies (Rhodes, Kastela Bay, Malta, the Syrian coast, and the Cres/Losinj Islands), an international team of experts organized by the United Nations Environment Programme has produced a comparative analysis of eleven case studies which offer a broad overview of likely future climatic change impacts on the Mediterranean coastline.

目次

Introduction The case studies - Methodology Basic facts about the areas covered by the case studies Comparative analysis of the main findings - Potential impacts of expected climatic changes on natural systems and socio-economic activities Actions suggested to avoid, mitigate and adapt to the expected impacts The use and impact of the case studies Conclusions References Index
