Through numerous color figures and tables, this book presents the most up-to-date knowledge on climate and environmental change in China. It documents the evidence and attribution of climate and environmental changes in the past few decades and discusses the impacts of climate change on environments, economy, and society. The book further provides projections of climate change and its impacts in the future. Finally, it offers the climate change mitigation and adaption technologies with strategic options which will be of interest for policy makers, researchers and the general public as well.

This book introduces systematically the cryospheric science, covering the formation, development, evolution, and research methods of each component of the cryosphere, the interaction between the cryosphere and the other spheres of the climate system and the anthroposphere, and the hot topics of social and economic sustainable development and geopolitics. The authors are world-renowned experts and scientists working in the related fields. They have a deep understanding and accurate grasp of the basic theory, evolution mechanism, and international frontiers of the cryosphere, as well as rich teaching experience, which makes this book suitable also as textbook for graduate students. It is also the first book that introduces the knowledge of cryospheric science systematically. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the book also introduces field work and experimental analysis. It should be of interests for the scholars and graduate student working in the fields of geography, hydrology, geology, geomorphology, atmosphere, ecology, environment, oceanography, and regional economic and social sustainable development.

This book is devoted to the study of cryohydrology in hydrological research in cold regions through theoretical aspects, field observations, remote sensing and GIS, hydrological model, and impacts on regional and global scales. Understanding cryohydrology is a prerequisite to the hydrological processes in cold regions. The book aims to serve as a guide for understanding and developing cryohydrology by observation and modeling. It is motivated by recent rapid advances in cryospheric science including the discipline trees, in addition to the impact of cryospheric changes on different scales. Chapters are carefully developed to cover (1)development of cryohydrology, (2) research methods, (3) ablation, runoff generation and routing, (4) meltwater runoff, (5) hydrochemistry, (6) river sediment, (7) roles in watershed, and (8) impact on global water cycle. It addresses the above issues with a holistic and systematic approach that utilizes observation to simulation. The book is written for scholars working in hydrological research fields as well as stakeholders engaging in environmental sustainability in cold regions.

On basis of synthesis assessment, through comprehensive integration, it focuses on four aspects: climate change and ecological environment evolution, future climate change and risk prediction, technical measures and action results for adaptation and mitigation, and development path with climate resilience.
