Overview

The growing concerns regarding the consequences of climate change necessitate the publishing of an up to date, comprehensive work. This book and its approach was developed along the contents of a graduate level course, and tested over time. It provides a coherent treatment of the physics and chemistry of climate change, combining the two disciplines in a systematic fashion to make readers understand the key principles. It covers the theory of transport of chemical species as well as energy and looks at all relevant climate gases.
