The book encompasses a variety of subjects related to climate science and the approaches used to mitigate its effects. Specifically, it delves into topics such as urbanization, coping mechanisms, water resources, watershed management, land use patterns, atmospheric deposition, agriculture, and carbon footprint. These subjects are of great importance to researchers in the field, as they provide a solid foundation for understanding the challenges that need to be addressed. The articles featured in the book are designed to synthesize data from experiments, observations, and theoretical concepts in order to gain a deeper understanding of climate change and its consequences.
