Download or read book Sea Level Rise written by Bruce Douglas and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-10-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea Level Rise, History and Consequences includes a special emphasis on the evidence for historical sea level change; case studies are used to demonstrate the resulting consequences. A CD-ROM is included which contain tide gauge data and trends of relative sea level from the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level. The material on the CD-ROM is either in the form of text files, or web sites that can be opened by widely available web-browsers. Sea level is expected to rise as much as 60-100 centimeters over the next century due to greenhouse-induced global warming -- or at least that is what the some scientists predict. However, the concept of sea level is extremely complex, which makes the prediction of sea level rise anything but certain. The reviewers are in consensus in enthusiastically endorsing this comprehensive book and CD-ROM treatment. This book will be a comprehensive review of the subject using the data themselves (on CD-ROM) to illustrate the principles involved, rather than detailed mathematical treatments. The book should be readily accessible to upper division and first-year graduate students in the environmental sciences, geography, geology, and other interdisciplinary fields. Four pages (up to 16 pages) of color in the printed text. The book will have wide appeal. It will be read by geologists, geophysicists, climatologists, oceanographers, meteorologists, environmental scientists, geomorphologists, coastal engineers, and policy makers in all of these fields.

Download or read book Holocene Human Ecology in Northeastern North America written by George P. Nicholas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of human behavior have always been interested in the relationship between human populations and their environment. Decades of research not only have illuminated the backdrop against which culture is viewed, but have identi fied many of the conditions that influence or promote technological develop ment, social transformation, and economic reorganization. It has become in creaSingly evident, however, that if we are to explore more forcefully the linkages between culture and environment, a processual orientation is required. This is found in human ecology-the study of the relationship between people and the ecosystem of which they are a part. This book is a collection of papers about the recent and distant past by scientists and humanists involved in the study of human ecology in northeastern North America. The authors critically examine the systemic interface between people and their environment first by identifying the indicators of that rela tionship (e.g., historical documentation, archaeological site patterning, faunal remains), then by defining the processes by which change in one part of the ecosystem affects other parts (e.g., by conSidering how an ecotonal gradient affects biotic communities over time), and finally by explicating the behavioral implications thereof.
Download or read book Sea Level Variations of the United States 1854 1999 written by Chris Zervas and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this report, monthly mean sea level (MSL) variations are analyzed for 117 stations of the National Ocean Service's (NOS) National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) having between 25 and 146 years of data. Monthly MSL data up to the end of 1999 are used to calculate linear trends, and to obtain the average seasonal cycle, the residual time series, and the autoregressive coefficient of the residual with accurate estimates of standard errors. Months with extreme high or low residuals are defined and periods of broad regional correlations between station anomalies are observed. Since the derived trends include the local vertical land motion, they are spatially variable. Calculated MSL trends range from 9.85 mm/yr for Grand Isle, LA to -16.68 mm/yr for Skagway, AK and are consistent with previous station trends published by NOS. The appendices of this report include time series plots for each station of the monthly MSL with the seasonal cycle removed, the seasonal cycle, and the MSL residual after both the seasonal cycle and the trend are removed. The location and timing of any major earthquakes near stations in tectonically-active areas are noted, since an associated vertical offset or a change in MSL trend is possible. An inverse power relationship is derived empirically, relating the standard error for linear trends to the year range of MSL data. An estimated 50 to 60 years of data are required for obtaining linear MSL trends having a 1 mm/yr precision with a 95% statistical confidence interval. For a given length of data, the standard errors for trends at Pacific Ocean and western Gulf of Mexico stations tend to be greater than standard errors for trends at Atlantic coastal stations. MSL trends for the most recent 50-year period of 1950-1999 are compared with trends obtained from each station's entire data set. The trend for the past 50 years is significantly lower at only three out of sixty stations (Eastport, Portland, and Boston). At no station is the 1950-1999 trend significantly higher than the trend obtained from the station's entire data set. In an examination of 50-year MSL trends at sixteen of the longest term stations, it was found that for six Atlantic stations, the periods centered on years from 1930 to 1955 tend to have significantly higher trends than periods centered on years from 1965 to 1975. For San Francisco, trends for all 50-year periods centered from 1890 to 1915 are significantly lower than the overall trend and the trend since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake"--Executive Summary.
