   Extractions: TA: Natalie Kehrwald ( kehrwald@geo.umass.edu , Hasbrouck 236) TA: Jeanne Thibeault ( jeanniet@geo.umass.edu , Morrill 4 South 264) The objectives of this course are to gain a basic understanding of the interrelationships among the earth's major physical and biological systems and to gain an appreciation of past and potential future global environmental changes. The role of humans in propagating and mitigating global change will also be examined. We will discuss changes in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere and biosphere, and the impacts of human actions. Aspects of the forecasted global warming as well as other important issues will be discussed in detail.

5. GECP Research-Africa
   Describes GECP research programs in Africa.  
   http://www.gecp.virginia.edu/resch/africa.htm
   
   Extractions: Africa has been identified as one of the initial focus regions for GECP research. The landscape of Africa is changing in response to a number of demographic, socioeconomic, and climatic forces. Changes in land cover and land use coupled with variability in climate directly affect the structure and function of African ecosystems and the goods and services these ecosystems supply, as well as impacting the composition of the regional and global atmosphere. GECP-Africa is focused on understanding these changes, their feedbacks, and their link to sustainability. The GECP-Africa approach is to combine satellite remote sensing, numerical modeling, and field-based process studies in an effort to improve understanding of the natural and anthropogenic systems in Africa and the processes of change at work in African regions. A major objective of the GECP effort is to develop some predictive capability with regard to these changes on both a regional and global scale. There are currently four components to GECP Africa : A brochure describing GECP-Africa is available upon request to the Global Environmental Change Program.

The programme Welcome to the Global Environmental Change Programme, the largest ever social science research initiative in the UK on any issue. The main feature of this web site is a set of three documents. These summarise, in an accessible form, the most important insights to have emerged from our research. The documents, which can be accessed by clicking on the images below, are organised around the following themes: You can read the preface to the three documents here . There are also PDF versions of the three documents and you can also view a short video documentary on each of the three themes. This site is also an archive of more detailed information about the Programme, with full search facilities. This includes: one page summaries of each of the 150 empirical research projects and Fellowships details of over 1000 publications that have been produced as a result of the research Programme responses to Government consultations and Parliamentary inquiries and a host of other material.

   Extractions: Home page Previous Next Producing greener, consuming smarter ... The programme Economic and engineering studies have shown that there is great potential for environmental improvement in industry at low or negative cost" Is economic growth always based on the exploitation of nature or can growth resolve environmental problems? What tensions lie between the economy and the environment and what are the consequences for environmental policy? Thirty years ago there was growing concern that economic growth would lead to the over-exploitation of natural resources. Scientists projecting current trends into the future warned that there could be a dramatic environmental breakdown because economic development would reach resource limits. Such predictions have been proven wrong, mainly because they underestimated the effects of technological change. In the 1980s, the notion of 'ecological modernisation' turned the above argument on its head. It suggested that economic development and environmental protection can reinforce each other. Increased wealth would not necessarily lead to more pollution, ran the argument, because efficiency gains can offset the effects of growth, and simultaneously reduce production costs. The relationship between growth and environment is still hotly debated. Economic and engineering studies have shown that there is great potential for environmental improvement in industry at low or negative cost. New processes and products can significantly reduce pollution, safer substances can substitute for toxic or dangerous materials, transportation can be reduced and information can sometimes replace material goods. Developing countries will be able to reduce or avoid pollution at an earlier stage, rather than following the dirty 'northern' path of industrialisation. Technology transfer and new technologies can lay the path to a cleaner style of development.

    Extractions: CIESIN Thematic Guides Welcome to the CIESIN thematic guide on ozone depletion issues. The purpose of this guide is to help you find selected key documents that pertain to the issue of ozone depletion: causes, human and environmental effects, and policy responses. The 1985 report of the discovery of an "ozone hole" over Antarctica focused attention on the idea that humans can have a significant impact on the global environment. This discovery, along with evidence that ozone is being lost at nearly all latitudes outside the tropics, has prompted much research into the causes of ozone depletion and the biological effects of increased ultraviolet radiation exposure. The potential effects on humans and the environment have led to international resolutions designed to gradually phase out production of ozone-depleting substances. As a result, the scientific and industrial communities have collaborated to find safe and economical replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the manmade chemicals implicated in ozone loss. This guide contains an Overview that provides general background on key concepts and issues related to ozone depletion. In addition, four subsections explore selected topics in greater detail:
