dc.descriptionThis book provides the first expert and comprehensive account of the implications that global warming and sea-level rise will have on the ecosystems and socio- economic structure in the marine and coastal regions of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas, Bermuda and the Northeast Coast of South America. Coverage is given to such topics as modelling future climatic change, physical process and effects, ecological effects, and socio-economic effects including the impact on human health. Climatic change in the Intra-Americas sea uniquely brings together authoritative accounts from oceanographers, meteorologists, ecologists and social scientists as part of a project covered by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO It is designed for all those sociologists, scientists, students, politicians and policy makers who increasingly need to know about the detailed effects of climatic change on people and places. The first full study of climatic change impact in the Intra-Americas Sea, the book contains broad and integrated coverage on both natural and man-made environments, and features: an unique chapter on exploratory PC-based modelling: of socio-economic impacts on climatic change.en_US
