Hitze, wie wir sie aus fernen Urlaubsregionen kannten, sintflutartiger Starkregen, verheerende Stürme: Ist das schon Klimawandel - oder immer noch "nur" Wetter? Die Physikerin Friederike Otto hat die Attribution Science mitentwickelt. Mittels dieser revolutionären Methode kann sie genau berechnen, wann der Klimawandel im Spiel ist. War eine Katastrophe wie Harvey menschengemacht? Ist eine Dürreperiode Folge der globalen Erwärmung oder nur ein heißer Sommer, wie es ihn schon immer gab.

Beneath the shimmering surface of our oceans lies a hidden metropolis, a riot of color and life known as a coral reef. These vibrant underwater cities are teeming with an astonishing diversity of creatures, from darting fish with iridescent scales to gentle giants gliding through the currents. But this dazzling world faces an existential threat. Climate change, the specter haunting our planet, casts a long shadow over these coral havens. Rising temperatures trigger a phenomenon known as bleaching. The vibrant corals, in a desperate act of survival, expel the colorful algae that live within ...

Are we at risk of crossing planetary tipping points? Are we at risk of pushing the planet toward a trajectory where it could unstoppably drift away from a state that can support life as know it? Climate Extremes: At the Abyss? explores these questions, presenting expert perspectives and ongoing scientific research on the rapidly changing Earth system and the rising risk of triggering rapid, non-linear, and even self-reinforcing "vicious cycle" feedbacks in critical planetary systems like the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, ocean currents (including the Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...

More than half a billion years ago, our world was completely covered by glaciers, a "Snowball Earth" that persisted for millions of years. Incredibly, this unimaginable cold led to the remarkable diversification of life on earth known as the Cambrian explosion. With a geologist's eye and a knack for storytelling, Graham Shields explores when and how such inhospitable conditions enabled animals to evolve, radiate, and diversify into our earliest ancestors.

Si l’on parle régulièrement des océans dans le contexte écologique, nous abordons rarement les grandes profondeurs que l’on connaît moins bien que la galaxie ! Ainsi, le vaisseau ROV SuBastian qui est descendu à 2 900 mètres en mars, a découvert des centaines de nouvelles espèces dont on ignorait l’existence. Dans cet ouvrage, Théo Drieu et Manon Bérardi (Balades mentales) encouragent l’exploration de ce monde inconnu en en dévoilant des facettes qui dépassent notre imagination. Leurs textes pleins d’humour embarquent le lecteur à la rencontre des écosystèmes et de nouvelles lois de la chimie et de la physique.

The proposal that the impact of humanity on the planet has left a distinct footprint, even on the scale of geological time, has recently gained much ground. Global climate change, shifting global cycles of the weather, widespread pollution, radioactive fallout, plastic accumulation, species invasions, the mass extinction of species-these are just some of the many indicators that we will leave a lasting record in rock, the scientific basis for recognizing new time intervals in Earth's history. The Anthropocene, as the proposed new epoch has been named, is regularly in the news.

In the golden age of dinosaur discoveries, paleontologists are frequently learning about new dinosaurs and new facts about already-known species. At least 14 dinosaurs made the headlines in 2014 alone. Blending fiction with fact, Top 10 Dinosaurs of 2014 reimagines the way 10 of the newly described Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs lived in their natural habitats.

Beyond what we already know about "food miles" and eating locally, the global food system is a major contributor to climate change, producing as much as one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. How we farm, what we eat, and how our food gets to the table all have an impact. And our government and the food industry are willfully ignoring the issue rather than addressing it. In Anna Lapp's controversial new book, she predicts that unless we radically shift the trends of what food we're eating and how we're producing it, food-system-related greenhouse gas emissions will go up and up and up.

Some see dust as dull stuff, useless at best, and sneeze-inducing at worst. But in the hands of writer Hannah Holmes, dust becomes a dazzling and mysterious force. As Holmes says, dust is a messenger, and air is its medium. And by the end of this fascinating journey through The Secret Life of Dust, we cannot help but agree.

In Dragons in the Snow, Power delves into the research and science behind avalanche forecasting and rescue, weaving in the art of backcountry skiing as well as dramatic tales of avalanche accidents, rescues, and recoveries. And he paints compelling portraits of the men and women who have made the study of avalanches their life's work. The tales told by these avalanche forecasters, as well as the stories of the backcountry riders who may "wake the dragon" make for not just a compelling listen, but also a powerful tool for raising avalanche awareness.
