Download or read book Storminess and Environmental Change written by Nazzareno Diodato and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes recent developments in the modeling of hydro-climatological processes in time and space. The topic brings together a wide range of disciplines, such as climatology, hydrology, geomorphology and ecology, with examples of problems and related modeling approaches. Parsimonious hydro-climatological models hold the potential to simulate the combined effects of rainfall intensity and distribution patterns in the absence of precipitation records for short time intervals (e.g. daily to sub-hourly) and over large areas (e.g. regional to continental). In this book, we show how the principle of parsimony can be followed without sacrificing depth in seeking to understand a variety of landscape and surface processes that include hydrologic phenomena. Geographically speaking, the focus of the book is on Mediterranean environments. In this region, which is characterized by a complex morphology, soil erosion by water is a major cause of landscape degradation and the fragility of ecosystems is abundantly documented. By exploring interactions between erosive storms and land with the help of modeling solutions created at a variety of scales, the book investigates in detail the climatic implications for the Mediterranean landscape in an effort to bridge historical and contemporary research, which makes it unique in its approach. The book provides a valuable resource for environmental scientists, while also providing an important basis for graduate and postgraduate students interested in research on hydrological cycles and environmental changes.
Download or read book The Future of Climate Action in the South Mediterranean Region written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ClimaSouth project, funded by the European Union, supports climate change mitigation and adaptation in 9 South Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine and Tunisia. The overall objective is to assist partner countries transition towards low carbon economies, while building climate resilience and exploiting opportunities for economic development and employment in the region. This is pursued by strengthening the capacity of policy makers in the region to effectively engage in the global climate change framework, and by enhancing the institutional capacity for strategic planning in the areas of climate change mitigation, adaptation and financing. The project also promotes south - south cooperation and information sharing on climate change issues within the region, as well as closer dialogue and partnership with the European Union.

Download or read book Career Guidance and Livelihood Planning across the Mediterranean written by Ronald G. Sultana and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no other challenge preoccupies governments and citizens in the Mediterranean region than the mass unemployment of young people, many of who have invested in higher education in the hope that ability and effort lead to fulfilling lives. Transitions to independent adulthood are, however, frustratingly long drawn-out, and often jeopardised by labour markets that are neither youth-friendly nor meritocratic. While such challenges require structural responses at the macro-economic level, career education and guidance have an important role to play in addressing both the public and private good, and in furthering the social justice agenda. This volume provides a state-of-the-art review of career education and guidance in Southern Europe and the Middle East and North Africa Region, presenting a multi-faceted portrayal of the situation in each country as well as overviews of cross-cutting themes that are especially relevant to context, such as women’s career development in the Arab states, job placement support for refugees, and the impact of faith on livelihood planning. “This book is a major achievement, focusing on a pivotal part of the world.” – Tony Watts, Cambridge, UK “This book challenges career guidance to truly think in a contextual, localised, plural and dialogical way. In providing an opportunity for the South to speak on its own terms it helps renew the field through different ways of thinking and doing career guidance.” – Marcelo Afonso Ribeiro, University of São Paulo, Brazil “This wonderful new book furnishes a way forward in helping people and communities establish practices that will support our natural striving for work that is decent, dignified, and meaningful.” – David L. Blustein, Boston College, USA “This book is packed with fresh ideas based on lucid arguments that draw from a substantial evidence base. This work is essential reading.” – Gideon Arulmani, The Promise Foundation, Bangalore, India “This publication is a must-read for every individual involved in policy, research and practice activities in the career guidance field.” – Rènette du Toit, Independent Research Services, South Africa

This book was released on 1980 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local weather phenomena are described, and localized forecasting rules are given, for each of seven geographical areas of the Mediterranean Basin. As drawn for this study, the areas boundaries generally define the areas of occurrence of the various weather conditions and events that are found from one location to another across the region. For the operational forecaster's ease of reference, each text section addresses a particular geographical area and provides the following information for that area: an overview of local geography and seasonal, weather patterns; discussions of weather phenomena common to the area; and a series of forecasting rules cross-referenced to the phenomena discussed. Area locator maps, charts of typical weather conditions and events, satellite images, and rules-index tables are provided to enhance the operational usefulness of the information for the on-site user.
