What's New at Earthscape

What's New at Earthscape
>
>
> The earth continues its warming trend. Temperatures at the
> Earth's surface increased by an estimated 1o F (0.6o C) over
> the 20th century. The 1990s were the hottest decade of the
> century and 1998, 2001, and 2002 were three of the hottest
> years ever recorded. Projections of future warming suggest a
> global increase of 2.5o F (1.4o C) to 10.4o F (5.8o C) by
> 2100, with warming in the United States expected to be even
> higher. This warming, along with the associated changes in
> precipitation and sea-level rise will have important
> consequences for the U.S. and the global environment and economy.
>
> Columbia Earthscape's March update focuses on global climate
> change and continues to deepen the collection by presenting a
> diverse range of policy perspectives on this critical
> environmental issue as well as journals and scientific papers
> documenting and interpreting the phenomenon.
>
> Earthscape adds the full collection of reports addressing
> global climate change published by The Pew Center on Global
> Climate Change
> since its
> inception in 1998. The Pew Center on Global Climate Change is
> producing important analysis of key climate issues. Over the
> past five years, the Pew Center has issued 45 reports from
> top-tier researchers on key climate topics such as economic
> and environmental impacts and practical domestic and
> international policy solutions. The Center's mission is to
> provide credible information, straight answers, and innovative
> solutions in the effort to address global climate change.
>
> The North American Environmental Law And Policy Series
> presents
> some of the most salient recent trends and developments in
> environmental law and policy in Canada, Mexico and the United
> States, including official documents related to the novel
> citizen submission procedure empowering individuals from the
> NAFTA countries to allege that a Party to the agreement is
> failing to effectively enforce its environmental laws.
>
> Redefining Progress
> approaches
> environmental policy from a social justice perspective and
> works with a broad array of partners to shift the economy and
> public policy debate towards sustainability. This month's
> update includes the entire collection of Redefining Progress's
> publications from 1997 to 2004.
>
> Earthscape adds to the existing collection of publications
> from The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research
> . The
> Tyndall Centre brings together scientists, economists,
> engineers and social scientists, who together, are working to
> develop sustainable responses to climate change through
> trans-disciplinary research and dialogue on both a national
> and international level - not just within the research
> community, but also with business leaders, policy advisors,
> the media and the public in general.
>
> The International Research Institute for Climate Prediction
> or IRI's
> mission is to enhance society's capability to understand,
> anticipate and manage the impacts of seasonal climate
> fluctuations, in order to improve human welfare and the
> environment, especially in developing countries. This month
> Earthscape adds the Climate Information Digest
> , a monthly
> summary of global climate events and their impacts, seasonal
> climate outlook and forecast evaluation, from January 2002 to
> February 2005.
