商品描述

This book explores how human civilization has contributed to changes in the Anthropocene, an era that marks a fundamental change in the way mankind has interacted with the Earth system. It examines the 21st century in the context of human development of water infrastructures, climate change impacts on freshwater resources, groundwater depletion, rising population, land use change, extreme events (droughts, floods, and wildfires). The implications of climate change impacts on environmental assets and the global water cycle are also highlighted. The book takes a pragmatically trans-disciplinary and holistic approach to the discussion of these issues, and the Earth system in the Anthropocene, drawing from a plethora of case studies. The capabilities of machine learning tools in satellite hydrology applications have been demonstrated as well as the feasibility of remote sensing data and innovative geospatial tools in environmental assessment. The book further showcases the multiple strengths and potential of new multi-disciplinary satellite radar programmes and geodetic missions, to measure and characterize extreme events, and their links to global climate, as well as in remote sensing of the environment. The aim is to provide innovative tools and a scientific framework that underpin our fundamental understanding of environmental systems, and the complexities of socio-hydrological systems in the Anthropocene. Policy issues have also been raised as an important aspect that can strengthen the management and administration of water resources, particularly in emerging economies where observational data is often lacking, limited, or difficult to access. It also highlights the lessons learned from freshwater hotspots (e.g., Lake Chad and Lake Urmia) where prolonged droughts and human activities have led to a permanent loss of surface water. It identifies the role of institutions and stakeholders in driving policies that underpins water management and climate changeadaptation. The book articulates the novel applications of remote sensing tools as part of a monitoring framework that can alert stakeholders and the public sector to the dangers of mismanagement of freshwater in these hotspots and help facilitate water governance approaches. The book fills a critical gap in the multi-disciplinary aspect of planetary science, particularly in understanding the impacts of climate change and human actions on freshwater resources, as well as the stability of the Earth system.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了人類文明如何促成了人類世(Anthropocene)的變化,這個時代標誌著人類與地球系統互動方式的根本改變。它在水資源基礎設施的發展、人類對氣候變化對淡水資源的影響、地下水枯竭、人口增長、土地使用變化以及極端事件(如乾旱、洪水和野火)的背景下,檢視21世紀。書中還強調了氣候變化對環境資產和全球水循環的影響。本書採取務實的跨學科和整體性方法來討論這些問題,以及人類世中的地球系統,並引用了大量的案例研究。書中展示了機器學習工具在衛星水文應用中的能力,以及遙感數據和創新地理空間工具在環境評估中的可行性。本書進一步展示了新多學科衛星雷達計畫和大地測量任務的多重優勢和潛力,以測量和特徵化極端事件及其與全球氣候的聯繫,以及在環境遙感中的應用。其目的是提供創新的工具和科學框架,以支持我們對環境系統的基本理解,以及人類世中社會水文系統的複雜性。政策問題也被提出,作為加強水資源管理和行政的重要方面,特別是在觀測數據往往缺乏、有限或難以獲取的新興經濟體中。書中還強調了從淡水熱點(例如乍得湖和烏爾米亞湖)中學到的教訓,這些地區因長期乾旱和人類活動導致了表面水的永久性喪失。它確定了機構和利益相關者在推動水資源管理和氣候變化適應政策中的角色。本書闡述了遙感工具的新應用,作為一個監測框架的一部分,可以提醒利益相關者和公共部門注意這些熱點中淡水管理不善的危險,並幫助促進水治理方法。本書填補了行星科學多學科方面的關鍵空白,特別是在理解氣候變化和人類行為對淡水資源的影響以及地球系統的穩定性方面。

作者簡介

Dr. Christopher Ndehedehe is a senior lecturer at the School of Environment and Science, Griffith University, where he concurrently serves as an Australian Research Council (ARC) DECRA (Discovery Early Career Researcher Award) fellow (2023-2026). He joined Griffith University in June 2018 under its Areas of Strategic Investment as a Research Fellow in Griffith's Australia's Rivers Institute. This was after the completion of an outstanding Ph.D. thesis, which received the vice-chancellor's commendation in early 2018 at Curtin University, Western Australia. Christopher is a leading expert in satellite hydrology and environmental geo-informatics with a strong international reputation and experience in remote sensing of water resources. This is exemplified in his pioneering cutting-edge cross-disciplinary research in environmental remote sensing and satellite hydrology that connects climate, freshwater resources, and the environment.
