Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is affecting us all with increasing temperatures and more frequent occurrences of extreme weather events. The last 7 years have all featured in the top 10 warmest years on record, and numerical models predict that this trend will continue unless we act with effective mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Climate change is currently altering all biomes of the world, from tropical rainforests to the Arctic. The warming climate leads to changed weather patterns, and these changes influence species, communities, and ecosystems.
The nature of climate change and its impacts involve a broad range of disciplines. Addressing the challenges posed by climate change requires a new paradigm of interdisciplinary collaboration which incorporates techniques, tools, and insights from the social and natural sciences.
The Special Issue aims to publish papers related to climate science and sustainability from a multidisciplinary perspective. The scope of this SI is to promote interdisciplinary research on the main topics related to climate change. Papers from environmental sciences, geography, geology, hydrology, climatology, biology, physics, mathematics, economics, and sociology are welcome. The key topics are:
- Geospatial analysis of climate change;
- Climate change adaptation and mitigation;
- Climate and society;
- Sustainability and climate change policies;
- Climate modeling;
- Case studies related to climate, climate change, and sustainability;
- Remote sensing, sustainability, and climate change;
- Review articles of main topics in climate change science;
- Sustainable Development Goals;
- Rural/urban sustainability;
- Precipitation and climate change;
- Sustainable energy and climate.
