In rare instances, authors and editors can meet the needs of both groups. It is such a case with Climate Change in the Midwest. . . The contributors are among the best in their field. . . .

By providing state-of-the-art spatially disaggregated information regarding the historical, current, and possible future climate within the region, the contributors assess the risks and susceptibility of the critical socio-economic and environmental systems. Key sectors discussed are agriculture, human health, water, energy and infrastructure, and the vulnerabilities that may be amplified under current climate trajectories. The book also considers the challenges and opportunities to develop local and regional strategies for addressing the risks posed by climate change in the context of developing an integrative policy for the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of contents\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Climate Change Impacts, Risks, Vulnerability and Adaptation: An Introduction ....... 9\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 The Midwestern USA: Socio-Economic Context and Physical Climate .................... 19\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 Vulnerability and Adaptability of Agricultural Systems in the Southeast USA to\u003cbr\u003eClimate Variability and Climate Change .......................................................................... 64\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 Uncertainty and Hysteresis in Adapting to Global Climate Change .......................... 76\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 Climate - Agriculture Vulnerability Assessment for the Midwestern United States .. 86\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 Potential Future Impacts of Climate on Row Crop Production in the Great Lakes\u003cbr\u003eRegion ............................................................................................................................. 101\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 Vulnerability of Soil Carbon Reservoirs in the Midwest to Climate Change .......... 114\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 Michigan's Tart Cherry Industry: Vulnerability to Climate Variability and Change\u003cbr\u003e........................................................................................................................................ 129\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 Climate Change Vulnerability and Impacts on Human Health ................................ 147\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 Intra-Urban Variations in Vulnerability Associated with Extreme Heat Events in\u003cbr\u003eRelationship to a Changing Climate ............................................................................... 164\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 Historical and Projected Changes in Human Heat Stress in the Midwestern USA 177\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12 Vulnerability of the Electricity and Water Sectors to Climate Change in the Midwest\u003cbr\u003e........................................................................................................................................ 192\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13 The Drought Risk Management Paradigm in the Context of Climate Change ...... 212\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14 Local Adaptation to Changing Flood Vulnerability in the Midwest ...................... 226\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15 The Response of Great Lakes Water Levels and Potential Impacts of Future Climate\u003cbr\u003eScenarios ......................................................................................................................... 240\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16 Vulnerability of the Energy System to Extreme Wind Speeds and Icing ............... 252\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17 Climate Change Impacts, Risks, Vulnerability and Adaptation in the Midwestern\u003cbr\u003eUnited States: What Next? .............................................................................................. 271\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523559944472,"sku":"9780253006820","price":19.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/climate-change-in-the-midwest-impacts-risks-vulnerability-and-adaptation-hardback-9780253006820","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
