    Abstract: This book highlights the likely impacts of climate change in terms of global and national water securities, how different countries are attempting to address these complex problems and to what extent they are likely to succeed. A major global concern at present, especially after the social and economic havoc that has been caused by COVID-19 in only one year, is how we can return to earlier levels of economic development patterns and then further improve the process so that sustainable development goals are reached to the extent possible by 2030, in both developed and developing countries. Mankind is now facing two existential problems over the next several decades. These are climate change and whether the world will have access to enough water to meet all its food, energy, environment and health needs. Much of expected climate change impacts can be seen through the lens of extreme hydrological events, like droughts, floods and other extreme hydrometeorological events.

    Climate Change and Agrometeorology (2023)

    Details
    Keywords: Agriculture. ; Bioclimatology. ; Climatology. ; Human ecology Study and teaching. ; Agriculture. ; Climate Change Ecology. ; Climate Sciences. ; Environmental Studies.
    Description / Table of Contents: Preface -- About the Authors -- Chapter 1 Agricultural Meteorology: A Preview -- Chapter 2 Atmospheric Temperature -- Chapter 3 Atmospheric Pressure and Solar Radiation -- Chapter 4 Atmospheric Humidity -- Chapter 5 Microclimate and Climatic Normals -- Chapter 6 Weather Disasters and Management, Air Pollution and Role of Meteorology -- Chapter 7 Weather Forecasting -- Chapter 8 Climate Change Impact on Plants -- Chapter 9 Climate Change Effect on Fruit Production -- Chapter 10 Climate change Effect on Forests.
    Abstract: The monograph focuses on agricultural meteorology and climate change and its impacts on different crops. Comprising of chapters from experts, the book discusses and provides first-hand information to the long term shifts in weather patterns and temperature impacting soil, water and crops. Each chapter focuses in detail on the impact of plant- water – soil nexus and climate change on agriculture and food security. Covering the basic concepts about the temperature, pressure and humidity correlation with the increased demands of food, the book explores in detail the impact of adverse climatic conditions like drought, floods, increasing levels of carbon dioxide emissions and other simultaneous effects like soil fertility depletion on the cropping systems and overall crop productivity. The book touches the challenges of climate change, adaptive methods, mitigation strategies, with careful explanation of governance, plans and policies required to provide guidelines to stake holders so they can best prepare for the negative climate change impacts. While touching the agricultural challenges faced globally due to climate change, the book serves as a reference book for students, researchers and policy makers, involved in horticulture, agriculture and environmental sciences and climate change.

    Chemical characteristics and origin of H chondrite regolith breccias (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Petrologic data and contents of Ag, Bi, Cd, Co, Cs, Ga, In, Rb, Se, Te, Tl and Zn-trace elements spanning the volatility/mobility range-in light and dark portions of H chondrite regolith breccias and L chondrite fragmental breccias are reported. The chemical/petrologic characteristics of H chondrite regolith breccias differ from those of nonbrecciated chondrites or fragmental breccias. Petrologic characteristics and at least some trace element contents of H chondrite regolith breccias reflect primary processes; contents of the most volatile/mobile elements may reflect either primary or secondary processing, possibly within layered H chondrite parent object(s). Chemical/petrologic differences existed in different regions of the parent(s). Regoligh formation and gardening and meteoroid compaction were not so severe as to alter compositions markedly.

    Thermal metamorphism of primitive meteorites. XI - The enstatite meteorites: Origin and evolution of a parent body (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The neutron activation data for Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Co, Cs, Cu, Ga, In, Rb, Se, Te, Tl, and Zn were obtained in samples of Abee heated to 1000-1400 C at low pressures. In addition, these elements were reported in nine enstatite achondrites and in the silicate part of the Mt. Egerton stony-iron. The data show trace element losses above 1000 C by diffusion-controlled processes with apparent activation energies of 8 to 55 kcal/mol; these data together with abundances of aubrites, Mt. Egerton, and E4-6 chondrites, and isotopic results link all enstatite meteorites to a common parent body. The data also indicate that aubrites and the Mt. Egerton material reflect fractional crystallization of a magma produced from enstatite chondrite-like parent material (E6) and the late introduction of chalcophiles and mobile elements transported by an FeS-Fe eutectic from an E4-6 region undergoing open-system metamorphism.

    Trace element contents of selected Antarctic meteorites. I - Weathering effects and ALH A77005, A77257, A77278 and A 77299 (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Data is examined for volatile/mobile Ag, As, Au, Bi, Cd, Co, Cs, Cu, Ga, In, Rb, Sb, Se, Te, Tl and Zn in exterior and/or interior samples of four Antarctic meteorites from the Allan Hills (ALH): A77005 (unique achondrite); A77257 (ureilite); A77278 (L3); A77299 (H3). Exterior samples reflect contamination and/or leaching by weathering but trace element (ppm-ppt) contents in interior samples seem reasonable for representatives of these rare meteoritic types. The A77005 achondrite is shown to be related to shergottites; other samples extend compositional ranges previously known for their groups or types. With suitable precautions, Antarctic meteorite finds yield trace element data as reliable as those obtained from previously known falls.

    Petrogenesis of light and dark portions of the Leighton gas-rich chondritic breccia (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Individual dark fractions of the Leighton chondritic breccia are all enriched in volatile/mobile trace elements. Concentrations of the most highly volatile/mobile elements correlate with degree of equilibration, as expressed by compositional variability for silicates. Individual light clasts in the same meteorite are equilibrated and generally volatile-poor, except for enrichments in Rb and Cs. These alkali elements may have been redistributed by feldspar formation during metamorphism. Enrichments of other trace elements in dark portions may have been caused by mobilization during metamorphism in the parent body interior and deposition in the cooler surface layers. An alternative model involves accretional mixing of a diverse compositional population of primitive H group materials to form dark materials. Subsequent integration of light and dark materials was accomplished by impacts into a regolith.

    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Data are reported for volatile/mobile Ag, As, Au, Bi, Cd, Co, Cs, Cu, Ga, In, Rb, Sb, Se, Te, T1 and Zn in exterior and/or interior samples of four Antarctic meteorites: 77005 (unique achondrite); 77257 (unreilite); 77278 (L3); 77299 (H3).
