Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This Open Access book explores the physical and societal consequences of climate events such as heatwaves, drought, heavy rainfall and rising sea levels, and how they can lead to social disruption. The impact of climate events extends beyond damage and casualties. Climate disruption may result in people losing trust in the government and each other, in communities falling apart, as well as in increasing poverty. Conversely, the social context partly determines how well people are able to cope with climate events. Those with a strong network or sufficient resources are generally less likely to encounter severe problems and more likely to recover from such disruptions. The book argues that Dutch climate adaptation policy currently pays too little attention to these social factors. The focus of Dutch policies and practices is on physical protection measures. Although these are essential, they are not sufficient. The authors argue that climate resilience in the Netherlands could improve if the government also invests in the country s social infrastructure, which enables people to look out for each other, increases mutual trust, and offers perspectives for action.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Around the world, many people live, work and recreate in river, estuarine and coastal areas, systems which are also important wildlife habitats. It is imperative to understand the physics of such systems. A key element here is morphodynamics: the mutual interaction and adjustment of landform topography and fluid dynamics involving the motion of sediment. The numerous interacting processes involved, such as large- and small-scale hydrodynamics, sediment transport dynamics, growth and decay of bed perturbations or larger bed forms, biological processes and human interferences make morphodynamics a challenging scientific issue. These proceedings bring together contributions from some 200 scientists from more than 20 countries and present and discuss the latest scientific research developments on this topic. In addition, five key-note papers are included that introduce the specific themes of the conference:- Relations between scales and long-term morphodynamics;- Biogeomorphology - Small-scale processes and grain sorting;- Morphodynamic free behaviour - Human interferences in morphodynamics The book provides an excellent overview of the state of the art knowledge on River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics and will be of interest to academics, engineers, planners, national and local authorities and all those involved in managing river, estuarine and coastal habitats. Presents an overview of the state of the art of knowledge on River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics. This book includes about 150 contribution on: longterm morphodynamics; biogeomorphology; small-scale processes and grain sorting; morphodynamic free behaviour, and human interferences in morphodynamics. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
