Dust (red) from the Sahara sweeps west across the Atlantic Ocean. Sea salt (blue) rises into the atmosphere from winds over the North Atlantic and from a tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean. Organic and black carbon (green) from biomass burning is notable over the Amazon and Southeast Asia. Plumes of sulfate (white) from fossil fuel burning are particularly prominent over northeastern North America and East Asia. If present trends of dust emissions and fossil fuel burning continues in what we call the Anthropocene epoch, then we could experience high atmospheric CO2 levels leading to unusual warming rarely experienced in Earth's history. This book focuses on human influences on land, ocean, and the atmosphere, to determine if human activities are operating within or beyond the safe zones of our planet's biological, chemical, and physical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume highlights include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssessment of civic understanding of Earth and its future\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding the role of undergraduate geoscience research and community-driven research on the Anthropocene\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEffective communication of science to a broader audience that would include the public, the K-12 science community, or populations underrepresented in the sciences\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePublic outreach on climate education, geoscience alliance, and scientific reasoning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFuture Earth\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable practical guide for scientists from all disciplines including geoscientists, museum curators, science educators, and public policy makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiana Dalbotten\u003c\/b\u003e, National Center for Earth-Surface Dynamics, University of Minnesota, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGillian Roehrig\u003c\/b\u003e, STEM Education Center, University of Minnesota, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Hamilton\u003c\/b\u003e, Science Museum of Minnesota, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 June 2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerican Geophysical Union\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781118854303\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e144\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44377682411660,"sku":"9781118854303","price":107.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781118854303.jpg?v=1780155314","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781118854303","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
