Environmental Studies and Climate Change

Ranbir Chander Sobti, former Vice-Chancellor Panjab University, Chandigarh &Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (Central University), Lucknow is a scientist, an able administrator and dynamic institution builder.He has published more than 300 papers in the journals of national and international repute such as Mutation Research, Carcinogenesis. Achieves of Toxicology, Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics, Molecular Cell Biochemistry, PLOS I to name a few. He has also published more than 50 books by international publishers such as Springers, Academic Press, CRC, Elsevier, and others.He is a Fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Sciences India, Indian National Science Academy, National Academy of Medical Sciences, National Academy of Agricultural Sciences Canadian Academy of Cardiovascular Diseases and few others. He was the General President of Indian Science Congress for the 102nd session held at University of Jammu in 2013. Dr.Sobti is the recipient of many prestigious awards like, the INSA Young Scientist Medal, UGC Career Award, Punjab Rattan Award, JC Bose Oration and Sriram Oration Awards and of Life Time Achievement Awards of the Punjab Academy of Sciences, Zoological Society of India, and the Environment Academy of India, besides many other medals and awards of national and International levels.

"Global climate change is a complex issue that relies on scientific data and an understanding of how human behavior affects resource use. In this volume, expert researchers who work in the multidisciplinary field of environmental studies investigate the causes and consequences of climate change. The book concludes with a section explaining how anthropogenic climate change is disrupting ecosystems globally and contributing to an increase in public health issues. This book supplies accurate and compelling case studies that are supported by an abundance of current primary references. Useful charts, diagrams, and tables accompany each chapter. A good resource for environmental science and environmental policy book collections."--B. R. Shmaefsky, Lone Star College - Kingwood, Choice Jan 24
