The Science of Our Changing Climate by Michael A Box

The Science of Our Changing Climate by Michael A Box

Compelling and comprehensive coverage of the science underpinning our understanding of our climate, and how it is changing. The text is accessible to undergraduate students, requiring only a basic understanding of algebra and physical science. Starting from the basics, it incorporates the latest results from the IPCC 6th Assessment Report.

'This book is a crystal formed from a total of over 50 years of teaching climate scienceNever have so many elements of climate and their interrelationship coalesced in such an easy-to-follow way with clear logic and precise interpretation: a book full of needed information for understanding climate variation and change from start to finish.' Qi S. Hu, University of Nebraska, Lincoln
'This excellent, highly readable introduction to the science underlying contemporary climate change is an instructor's dream. Well written, with clear language, quality graphics and images, and chapters adaptable to any climate change syllabus, it also features outstanding case studies illustrating the consequences of increased greenhouse gas emissions. This engaging book even appeals to the interested layperson.' Petra Zimmermann, Ball State University
'In The Science of Our Changing Climate, the authors, Michael and Gail Box, have condensed a lifetime of knowledge into a single piece of work. This engaging book goes beyond other textbooks on climate change, making it essential reading for undergraduate students studying topics such as environmental science and geography, and would be a welcome addition to the bookcase of anyone interested in global warming.' Matt Smith, University of Worcester

Michael Box recently retired as Associate Professor in Physics at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He has taught Atmospheric Science, and a number of advanced Physics courses. He has 100 publications, mostly in atmospheric science, with a particular focus on radiative transfer, remote sensing, and the radiative effects of aerosols. He is co-author of Physics of Radiation and Climate (CRC Press, 2016). He is a Fellow of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, and a member of AGU. His former graduate students can be found in scientific establishments in Europe and Australia. He currently teaches Adult Education courses in Sydney. Gail Box recently retired as Senior Lecturer in Physics at the University of New South Wales, Australia, where she taught a number of courses, including Atmospheric Science. She previously worked for BHP (Billiton). Her research focused on the environmental effects of atmospheric aerosols. In 2005 she founded the Australian (and New Zealand) Aerosol Workshop. She is co-author of Physics of Radiation and Climate (CRC Press, 2016). She is a member of AMOS, and the Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand. Her former graduate students can be found in scientific establishments in Europe, Australia and the USA.
