This book offers a solutions-based approach to climate change problems which potentially impinge on human beings within the tropics. It largely comprises research articles with supplementary applications and illustrations. The effects of atmospheric phenomena, energy acquisition, wind power, CO2 sequestration, are linked with soils, aquatic life, reducing deforestation, rainwater harvesting and clay pot farming, climate, plant disease and food security to show that no area of life is untouched by the phenomenon of climate change. It discusses specific problem areas and provides an overview of…mehr
This book offers a solutions-based approach to climate change problems which potentially impinge on human beings within the tropics. It largely comprises research articles with supplementary applications and illustrations. The effects of atmospheric phenomena, energy acquisition, wind power, CO2 sequestration, are linked with soils, aquatic life, reducing deforestation, rainwater harvesting and clay pot farming, climate, plant disease and food security to show that no area of life is untouched by the phenomenon of climate change. It discusses specific problem areas and provides an overview of geotechnical and sustainable solutions to lessen the impact of climate.

Autorenporträt
Mark Anglin Harris is a Professor of Applied Climatology and Environmental Chemistry at the Northern Caribbean University (NCU), Jamaica, where he has been on the faculty since 2002. He earned his baccalaureate degree in geography and geology at the University of Windsor, Canada, in 1977, and received his PhD in environmental geoscience from the University of Adelaide in 2001. In 1992-1995 he tutored at the University of Adelaide, Australia, in Earth science & physical geography. His research has focused mainly on remediation of polluted land, water and air. His previous book, published in 2016 by Springer-Nature, is titled "Geobiotechnological Solutions to Anthropogenic Disturbances."
Professor Harris has been the senior author of approximately 30 research articles, having become, so far, the only multiple recipient of the NCU Distinguished Faculty Award for research or scholarship, having won it four times, in 2003, 2007, 2012 and 2016.
