Powerful solar explosions, such as flares and coronal mass ejections, greatly disturb the electromagnetic environment around the Earth and the atmosphere. They may even impact various social systems¿communications, positioning, electric power supply, aviation and activities in space. Such variations in the space environment, which can influence human activities, are called ¿space weather.¿ The space weather disaster caused by a solar explosion is a potential risk in modern society. To reduce and mitigate space weather impacts, it is essential to understand the structure and dynamics of the solar¿terrestrial environment and to predict the variations. This book comprehensively describes space weather, from the basics of related sciences to the possible social impacts. It was compiled based on a national research project on solar¿terrestrial environment prediction conducted in Japan recently. It consists of four parts: the linkage between space weather and society; the magnetosphere of the Earth and space weather prediction; solar storms and space weather prediction; and long-term prediction of solar cycle activity and climate impacts. Each chapter covers the basics and applications of each area, which helps readers gain a broad understanding of the subject matter throughout the book. In addition, readers are able to select and read the topics they are most interested in. It is especially valuable for undergraduate and graduate students and young researchers studying space weather and related topics, and is further helpful for experts in various industries related to space weather disasters. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The present version has been revised technically and linguistically by the authors in collaboration with a professional translator.

Biogéothérapie ¿ solutions à la crise climatique fondées sur la nature,la vie comme force géologique présente un mouvement de fermiers, descientifiques, un mouvement politique et diplomatique. Il s'appuie surquatre pratiques restauratrices : la gestion holistique des pâturages,l'agriculture sans labours avec plantes de couverture, le biochar, lareforestation à grande échelle. L'agroforesterie, l'approche marine «carbone bleu », les machines vivantes, la restauration de tourbières etd'autres solutions fondées sur la nature (NbS), des technologies àémissions négatives (NET), sont également brièvement présentées. Bras diplomatique d'un mouvement pour la restauration climatique, le «4 pour 1000 » est décrit. Il construit une vague pour défendrel'agriculture et l'élevage de régénération, pour des matériaux bio-sourcés négatifs en GES. La finance carbone, des leviers comme lescertificats d'extraction du dioxyde de carbone, est présentée, avec leurscontroverses. Biogéothérapie est un néologisme définissant un modèle dedéveloppement. Il mérite notre attention et notre enthousiasme :nouvelle économie du carbone, il inverse, littéralement, l'économieémettrice de dioxyde de carbone actuelle fondée sur l'extraction et lescarburants fossiles. Biogéothérapie est une posture pour la régénérationet la restauration de notre maison, la Terre, notre Biosphère dont nousdépendons pour vivre. Ces actions mènent à la Civilisation 280. Pharaonique, babylonien,vertigineux, les mots pour définir l'ampleur du défi climatique semblentsouvent trop faibles. Biogéothérapie décrit la longue marche vers ledéveloppement durable.

This book provides an important overview of how climate-driven natural hazards like river or pluvial floods, droughts, heat waves or forest fires, continue to play a central role across the globe in the 21st century. Urban resilience has become an important term in response to climate change. Resilience describes the ability of a system to absorb shocks and depends on the vulnerability and recovery time of a system. A shock affects a system to the extent that it becomes vulnerable to the event. This book focus examines how private property-owners might implement such measures or improve their individual coping and adaptive capacity to respond to future events. The book looks at the existence of various planning, legal, financial incentives and psychological factors designed to encourage individuals to take an active role in natural hazard risk management and through the presentation of theoretical discussions and empirical cases shows how urban resilience can be achieved. Inaddition, the book guides the reader through different conceptual frameworks by showing how urban regions are trying to reach urban resilience on privately-owned land. Each chapter focuses on different cultural, socio-economic and political backgrounds to demonstrate how different institutional frameworks have an impact.

This book discusses the challenges related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. It adds valuable strategies and insights into the development of new practices solving the identified social and economic problems related to ecosystem deterioration and anticipating other disasters related to climate change.

This book aims to contribute to the discourse on climate crisis by bringing together high-quality empirical research on adaptive approaches and sustainability case studies from across the world. The book is divided into six sections. The introductory section has two chapters which sets the ground of the book as it discusses the framing of climate crisis and the different approaches towards it. It also situates the book within the global discourse. The first chapter seeks the traditional approaches to bridge the gap in the new climate science, while the second chapter delivers the ultimate reasons for temperature change, global warming and its consequences (extreme weather events) in a comprehensive way. It is hoped that the book as a whole will provide a timely synthesis of a rapidly growing and important field of climate science but will also bring forward new and stimulating ideas that will shape a coherent and fruitful vision for future work for the community of Undergraduates, Postgraduates, Ph.D. Scholars and Researchers in the fields of environmental sciences, humanistic and social sciences and geography. In addition, policy and decision makers, environmentalists, NGOs, corporate sectors, social scientists, and government organizations will find this book to be of great value. We believe that a diverse group of academics, scientists, geographers, environmentalists, environmental regulators, social scientists, and sustainable scientists with a common interest within the earth environmental sciences and humanistic and social sciences will find this book to be a comprehensive source for reference. Also, we strongly deemed that it will also provide some support for various levels of organizations and administrations for developing and achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 in purview of climate change.
