Carbon Sequestration for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Overview
This book provides an understanding of the role of human activities in accelerating change in global carbon cycling and summarizes current knowledge of the contemporary carbon budget.
Content and Approach
Starting from the geological history, this volume follows a multidisciplinary approach to analyze the role of human activities in perturbing carbon cycling by quantifying changes in different reservoirs and fluxes of carbon with emphasis on the anthropogenic activities, especially after the industrial revolution.
Mitigation Options
It covers the role of different mitigation options – natural ecological, engineered, and geoengineered processes as well as the emerging field of climate engineering in avoiding dangerous abrupt climate change.
Target Audience and Utility
Although the targeted audience is the educators, students, researchers, and scientific community, the simplified analysis and synthesis of current and up-to-date scientific literature makes the volume easier to understand and a tool policy makers can use to make informed policy decisions.
