The Role of Tropics in Climate Change

Global Case Studies

The Role of Tropics in Climate Change: Global Case Studies presents structured case studies from equatorial regions from across the globe to better understand the role they play in climate change on both a geological and environmental level. It consists of data generated from various environments, such as glacial, fluvial, marine, and terrestrial, to reconstruct the paleoclimate and offers context for evaluating today’s climate in relation to the tropics.

The tropics play an essential role in the dynamic process of global climate change and are often considered a cause or trigger for climate change. Coverage of tropical regions including Thailand, Cambodia, Taiwan, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, South America, Sri Lanka, Japan, India, Malaysia, and Myanmar sheds light on the role of tropics in the changing climate over the geological past. The practical case studies provided in The Role of Tropics in Climate Change offer researchers in both climate science and geology with important context and practical data for understanding the role tropics play in climate change and vice versa.

Key features:

• Presents case studies from various tropical regions covering historical and environmental archives to provide context for the relationship between climate change and tropics
• Examines different equatorial regions including Thailand, Cambodia, Taiwan, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, South America, Sri Lanka, Japan, India, Malaysia, and Myanmar
• Investigates how tropical regions play a role as a modulator of global climate change
