    Description / Table of Contents: The Global Redesign Initiative was a global, multistakeholder dialogue on the future of international cooperation. Set up in the midst of the global financial crisis, its purpose was to stimulate thinking and debate about how the international community and its institutions and organizations in their widest sense can be adapted to contemporary challenges. The distillation of this process has helped the Forum's many communities to develop proposals that seek to highlight potential responses to the challenge of adapting to a new global business and social environment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die 70 Jahre umfassende Zeitspanne, welche in dieser Untersuchung mit der Österreich-Ungarischen Nordpolarexpedition von 1872/74 unter Carl Weyprecht beginnt, war von umfassenden Veränderungen im sozialen Leben, der sozialen Sicherheit, Hierarchie, wissenschaftlichen und technischen Entwicklungen sowie von politischen Grenzsituationen gekennzeichnet. Die Polarexpeditionen im "Heroic age" fanden ihren Höhepunkt im Wettlauf zu den Polen und wurden von der Öffentlichkeit entweder als nationaler Sieg oder nationale Niederlage wahrgenommen. Wissenschaftliche Bestrebungen traten in den Hintergrund ebenso der Blick auf die sozialen Bedingungen welche manchmal über Erfolg oder Misserfolg einer Expedition entschieden aber doch immer Einfluss auf das Befinden aller Beteiligten hatte. Sozialgeschichte, oder "Geschichte von unten", ist oft nur am Rande Gegenstand von wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen. Diese Dissertation beginnt diese Lücke zu füllen, indem teilweise unbekannte und unveröffentlichte Quellen, wie Tagebücher und Schiffsjournale, aber auch bereits publiziertes Material näher untersucht wurden. Die Schwerpunkte der Untersuchung waren folgende Expeditionen: Weyprecht (1872 - 1874), Drygalski (1901 - 1903), Filchner (1911 - 1912) und Wegener (1930 -1931). Neben diesen Expeditionen wurden auch andere in- und ausländische Expeditionen derselben Periode zum Vergleich herangezogen. Folgende unbekannte Quellen wurden beispielsweise bearbeitet: Die Tagebücher des Matrosen und Eislotsen Björvik, gefolgt von den Tagebüchern Dr. Gazerts, welche unbekannte Details der Drygalski-Expedition als auch der Filchner-Expedition aus der Sicht eines einfachen Expeditionsmitgliedes und eines wissenschaftlichen Mitgliedes enthüllen. Diese Informationen geben Auskunft über die Hierarchie und daraus resultierende interne Konflikte, welche den unterschiedlichen Verlauf beider Expeditionen erklärt. Es war ebenso möglich die finanzielle Absicherung wie Einkommen, Versicherungsgebaren und Vergünstigungen zu untersuchen, welche auf die Teilnahme und Karriere nach der Expedition Einfluss nehmen konnte. Neue Einsichten zur Auswahl der Teilnehmer konnten gewonnen werden, die nicht immer von den Fähigkeiten sondern von nationalen und persönlichen Faktoren abhängig sein konnten. Weitere Aspekte wurden untersucht, wie Gesundheit, Verpflegung, Selbstmord und Tod, was nicht immer vordergründig Einfluss während der Expedition ausübte sondern erst danach auf Mitglieder oder die Öffentlichkeit Auswirkungen zeigte. Weiters, und Bezug nehmend auf die vorher genannten Punkte, wird die Frage behandelt, welchen Einfluss die Führungsqualitäten auf das Befinden der Expeditionsmitglieder ausübten. Schlussendlich werden Ergebnisse aufgezeigt, wie sich soziale Gegebenheiten auf das Alltagsleben in polarer Umgebung auswirkten, was nicht nur ein Bild der damaligen Zeit reflektiert sondern auch auf heutige Expeditionen angewendet werden kann.

    Description / Table of Contents: Measurement Methods in Atmospheric Sciences provides a comprehensive overview of in-situ and remote sensing measurement techniques for probing the Earth's atmosphere. The methods presented in this book span the entire range from classical meteorology via atmospheric chemistry and micrometeorological flux determination to Earth observation from space. Standard instruments for meteorological and air quality monitoring methods, as well as specialized instrumentation predominantly used in scientific experiments, are covered. The presented techniques run from simple mechanical sensors to highly sophisticated electronic devices. Special emphasis is placed on the rapidly evolving field of remote sensing techniques. Here, active ground-based remote sending techniques such as SODAR and LIDAR find a detailed coverage. The book conveys the basic principles of the various observational and monitoring methods, enabling the user to identify the most appropriate method. An introductory chapter covers general principles (e.g. inversion of measured data, available platforms, statistical properties of data, data acquisition). Later chapters each treat methods for measuring a specific property (e.g. humidity, wind speed, wind direction). Long chapters provide an introductory tabular list of the methods treated. More than 100 figures and 400 references, mostly to the recent scientific literature, aid the reader in reading up on the details of the various methods at hand. Recommendations at the end of each major chapter provide additional hints on the use of some instruments in order to facilitate the selection of the proper instrument for a successful measurement. A large number of national and international standards, providing precise guidelines for measuring and acquiring reliable, reproducible and comparable data sets are listed in the appendix. A dedicated index allows easy access to this valuable information. The book is of interest to undergraduate and graduate students in meteorology, physical geography, ecology, environmental sciences and related disciplines as well as to scientists in the process of planning atmospheric measurements in field campaigns or working with data already acquired. Practitioners in environmental agencies and similar institutions will benefit from instrument descriptions and the extended lists in the appendix.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ecological resilience provides a theoretical foundation for understanding how complex systems adapt to and recover from localized disturbances like hurricanes, fires, pest outbreaks, and floods, as well as large-scale perturbations such as climate change. This book collects important articles on the subject of ecological resilience.This title presents the evolution of resilience theory in seminal papers and commentary. Ecological resilience provides a theoretical foundation for understanding how complex systems adapt to and recover from localized disturbances like hurricanes, fires, pest outbreaks, and floods, as well as large-scale perturbations such as climate change. Ecologists have developed resilience theory over the past three decades in an effort to explain surprising and nonlinear dynamics of complex adaptive systems. Resilience theory is especially important to environmental scientists for its role in underpinning adaptive management approaches to ecosystem and resource management. "Foundations of Ecological Resilience" is a collection of the most important articles on the subject of ecological resilience - those writings that have defined and developed basic concepts in the field and help explain its importance and meaning for scientists and researchers.The book's three sections cover articles that have shaped or defined the concepts and theories of resilience, including key papers that broke new conceptual ground and contributed novel ideas to the field; examples that demonstrate ecological resilience in a range of ecosystems; and, articles that present practical methods for understanding and managing nonlinear ecosystem dynamics. "Foundations of Ecological Resilience" is an important contribution to our collective understanding of resilience and an invaluable resource for students and scholars in ecology, wildlife ecology, conservation biology, sustainability, environmental science, public policy, and related fields.

    Description / Table of Contents: The 1st edition of the flora contained treatments of 1112 species representing 80 families of vascular plants found in the Yukon Territory. Also included were species that occurred nearby and might be found in the Territory in the future. Since the publication of Flora of the Yukon Territory in 1991, a number of minor errors were discovered and they have been corrected here. An additional 46 taxa, some of which were suggested might be found or were not previously anticipated, keyed, or described, have been described, keyed, and mapped in taxonomic sequence in the addendum accompanying the Second Edition. This important work brings the knowledge of the vascular plants of the Yukon Territory up to date. It will be invaluable not only to botanical scientists, students, and travelers, but also to those concerned with biodiversity, rare and endangered species, resource management, wildlife management, and environmental planning. This book will be of interest to those who live and travel in the Yukon Territory, and also to those in surrounding regions and around the world.

    Description / Table of Contents: Появившиеся в последние десятилетия новые данные (множественные радиометрические определения возраста памятников, в том числе их ряды, для памятников голоценового каменного века Северо-Восточной Азии), а также новые геоархеологические объекты (например, палеолитическая Янская стоянка - самый северный памятник раннего верхнего палеолита мира), позволяют обратиться к рассмотрению проблем хронометрии последовательностей культурноисторического развития Северо-Востока Азии в позднем неоплейстоцене и голоцене, в эпохи, предшествовавшие формированию современной этнической карты этих территорий. Наибольшее внимание в предлагаемой работе уделено проблемам радиоуглеродной хронологии и хроностратиграфии памятников верхнего палеолита, документирующих на настоящий момент древнейшие достоверные этапы расселения человека на Северо-Востоке Азии. Для археологов, специалистов в области четвертичной геологии, геоморфологов, палеогеографов.

    Description / Table of Contents: В книге рассматриваются два природных объекта, определяющие многие особенности природы России - климат и вечная мерзлота. Представлена сложная многоплановая связь вечной мерзлоты ( ее температуры, распространения, криогенных процессов) с климатом, динамика мерзлоты под влиянием неоднократных изменений климата на протяжении последних этапов геологической истории Земли и в наше время. Изложены современные представления об изменениях климата и его причинах (естественного и антропогенного характера), периодичности колебаний. Исследуется реакция вечной мерзлоты на изменения климата - естественные (колебательные, с разными периодами колебаний) и антропогенные, включая техногенное воздействие (направленного характера). Книга написана для широкого круга специалистов - географов, геологов, инженеров, преподавателей, студентов, чья профессиональная деятельность связана с районами распространения вечной мерзлоты, а также для всех тех, кто интересуется науками о Земле.
    Description / Table of Contents: Translation of the abstract: The book deals with two natural objects that determine many of the features of Russia's nature - climate and permafrost. The complex multifaceted relationship of permafrost (its temperature, distribution, cryogenic processes) with climate is presented, the dynamics of permafrost under the influence of repeated climate changes during the last stages of the geological history of the Earth and in our time. Present-day ideas about climate change and its causes (natural and anthropogenic) and periodicity of fluctuations are presented. The reaction of permafrost to climate change - natural (oscillatory, with different periods of fluctuations) and anthropogenic, including technogenic impact (directional nature) is being studied. The book is written for a wide range of specialists - geographers, geologists, engineers, teachers, students whose professional activities are related to permafrost areas, as well as for all those who are interested in the Earth sciences.

    Description / Table of Contents: Auf dieser Reise wurde eine Reihe von automatisch messenden Plattformen erfolgreich getestet und eingesetzt. Diese Plattformen dienen zur Erfassung des Energie- und Materialaustausches zwischen Ozean und Atmosphäre und sind für den Einsatz auf Handels- und Forschungsschiffen (Voluntary Observing Ships VOS) geplant. Die meteorologischen Messungen dienten in erster Linie, der Aerosol-Untersuchung mit Fernerkundungsmethoden. Ziel der Untersuchungen ist die Erfassung der meridionalen Verteilung des Aerosols in der Troposphäre, des Gradienten und von Aerosol-Wolken. Ein Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) wurde eingesetzt, um die saisonalen Strömungsverhältnisse im Ozean zu erfassen und zu analysieren.Zusätzlich sollen diese Messungen als Referenz für die verankerten Systeme am Äquator auf 23°W dienen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Seit dem letzten glazialen Maximum erfuhr der westantarktische Eisschild (WAIS) dramatische Volumenänderungen innerhalb kurzer Zeiträume. Der WAIS hat dasPotenzial, den globalen Meeresspiegel um 3 - 5 m ansteigen zu lassen. Untersuchungen, die diese Variationen mit denen in der geologischen Vergangenheit vergleichen und somit Parameter für Vorhersagemodelle ableiten lassen, sind daher dringend erforderlich. Mit dieser vordringlichen Fragestellung vor Augen begann der FS Polarstern-Fahrtabschnitt ANT-XXVI/3 am 29. Januar 2010 in Wellington (Neuseeland) und endete am 5. April 2010 in Punta Arenas (Chile). Die Expedition hatte primär geophysikalische und geologische Forschungsziele, die die vorglaziale und glaziale Entwicklung der Westantarktis entschlüsseln helfen sollen. Des weiteren wurden ozeanographische, geodätische, biogeochemische und plankton-biologische Projekte sowie ein Programm zur Beobachtung von Meeressäugern und Vögeln durchgeführt.

    Description / Table of Contents: This much revised and expanded edition provides a valuable and detailed summary of the many uses of diatoms in a wide range of applications in the environmental and earth sciences. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of diatoms in analyzing ecological problems related to climate change, acidification, eutrophication, and other pollution issues. The chapters are divided into sections for easy reference, with separate sections covering indicators in different aquatic environments. A final section explores diatom use in other fields of study such as forensics, oil and gas exploration, nanotechnology, and archeology. Sixteen new chapters have been added since the first edition including introductory chapters on diatom biology and the numerical approaches used by diatomists. The extensive glossary has also been expanded and now includes over 1000 detailed entries, which will help non-specialists to use the book effectively

    Description / Table of Contents: Glaciers & Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In this new edition, the text, references and illustrations have been thoroughly updated to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the nature, origin and behaviour of glaciers and the geological and geomorphological evidence for their past history on earth. The first part of the book investigates the processes involved in forming glacier ice, the natureof glacier-climate relationships, the mechanisms of glacier flow and the interactions of glaciers with other natural systems such as rivers, lakes and oceans. In the second part, the emphasis moves to landforms and sediment, the interpretation of the earth's glacial legacy and the reconstruction of glacial depositional environments and palaeoglaciology.

    Description / Table of Contents: Outside Russia very little is known about the terrestrial ecology, vegetation, biogeographical patterns, and biodiversity of the enormously extensive ecosystems of Yakutia, Siberia. These systems are very special in that they function on top of huge layers of permafrost and are exposed to very severe and extreme weather conditions, the range between winter and summer temperatures being more than 100 degrees C. The soils are generally poor, and human use of the vegetation is usually extensive. Main vegetation zones are taiga and tundra, but Yakutia also supports a special land and vegetation form, caused by permafrost, the alas: more or less extensive grasslands around roundish lakes in taiga. All these vegetation types will be described and their ecology and ecophysiological characteristics will be dealt with. Because of the size of Yakutia, covering several climatic zones, and its extreme position on ecological gradients, Yakutia contains very interesting biogeographical patterns, which also will be described. Our analyses are drawn from many years of research in Yakutia and from a vast body of ecological and other literature in Russian publications and in unpublished local reports. The anthropogenic influence on the ecosystems will be dealt with. This includes the main activities of human interference with nature: forestry, extensive reindeer herding, cattle and horse grazing, etc. Also fire and other prominent ecological factors are dealt with. A very important point is also the very high degree of naturalness that is still extant in Yakutia`s main vegetation zones.

    Description / Table of Contents: Reviews the key concepts of the development discourse. This book contains essays each of which examines one concept from a historical and anthropological point of view and highlights its particular bias.In this classic collection, some of the world's most eminent critics of development review the key concepts of the development discourse. Each essay examines one concept from a historical and anthropological point of view and highlights its particular bias. Exposing their historical obsolescence and intellectual sterility, the authors call for a bidding farewell to the whole Eurocentric development idea. This is urgently needed, they argue, in order to liberate people's minds - in both North and South - for bold responses to the environmental and ethical challenges now confronting humanity. The combined result forms a must-read invitation to experts, grassroots movements and students of development to recognize the tainted glasses they put on whenever they participate in the development discourse.
