Mountain Environments in Changing Climates

Once regarded as hostile and economically non-viable regions, mountains have in the latter part of the century attracted major economic investments for tourism, hydro-power, and communication routes. This book presents important interdisciplinary work on the physical and human ecology of mountain environments. International experts address topics related to the impacts of climate change on mountain environments and socio-economic systems, and offer an understanding of the fundamental processes involved, their observation and their prediction.Beniston, Martin is the author of 'Mountain Environments in Changing Climates' with ISBN 9780415102247 and ISBN 0415102243.
