John E. Hay – författare

Science of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes presents an evidence-based view of the most important ways in which the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is affecting both our atmosphere and the oceans. The book provides compelling reasons why concerted action is required to slow the rate at which the atmosphere and oceans are changing. It not only covers longer-term changes in extremes and their causes, but also considers the drivers and attribution of extreme events, including relevant methods and techniques.

Consequences of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes provides comprehensive coverage of the concepts, terminology, and methods used to assess the consequences of weather, climate and ocean extremes. It goes on to assess the direct and wider impacts and risks resulting from these extremes, for both the present day and the foreseeable future. The broader implications of these findings are also considered.The book will help professionals gain an authoritative, evidence-based, and practice-relevant understanding of the way in which weather, climate and ocean extremes represent significant risks to both human and natural systems, now and in the future. It not only highlights recent advances in understanding and practice but also identifies the need and opportunities for further progress.Members of the Royal Meteorological Society are eligible for a 35% discount on all Developments in Weather and Climate Science series titles.

Reducing the Risks of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes presents evidence-based and practical guidance on appropriate ways to manage the rapidly increasing impacts and risks associated with extreme weather, climate and ocean events. This book specifically addresses the needs and challenges laid out in the author’s two earlier volumes: Science of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes, 2022, and Consequences of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes, 2025.The book emphasizes the importance of proactive risk management at local, national, and global levels, drawing on lessons learned from past experiences to inform effective strategies. It explores the complexities of managing the consequences of these extremes, highlighting the role of communication, engagement, and inclusiveness in fosteringresilience within communities. Additionally, the text addresses the necessity of monitoring and evaluating climate risk management initiatives to ensure their effectiveness and adaptability. By synthesizing insights across various scales, this author aims to empower readers to navigate the challenges posed by climate variability and change.This book serves as a vital resource for researchers and practitioners committed to reducing risks and enhancing resilience in the face of an increasingly unpredictable climate.Members of the Royal Meteorological Society are eligible for a 35% discount on all Developments in Weather and Climate Science series titles.

This book discusses the tourism-climate system and provides a sound basis for those interested in tourism management and climate change mitigation, adaptation and policy. In the first three chapters, the book provides a general overview of the relationships between tourism and climate change and illustrates the complexity in four case studies that are relevant to the wide audience of tourism stakeholders. In the following seven chapters detailed discussion of the tourism and climate systems, greenhouse gas accounting for tourism, mitigation, climate risk management and comprehensive tourism-climate policies are provided. This book compiles and critically analyses the latest knowledge in this field of research and seeks to make it accessible to tourism practitioners and other stakeholders involved in tourism or climate change.
