Earth system science : from biogeochemical cycles to global change /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Over the last decade, the study of cycles as a model for the earth's changing climate has become a new science. Earth Systems Science is the basis for understanding all aspects of anthropogenic global change, such as chemically forced global climate change. The work is aimed at those students i...
