Sommario/riassunto

The 2nd Edition of Carbonate Reservoirs aims to educate graduate students and industry professionals on the complexities of porosity evolution in carbonate reservoirs. In the intervening 12 years since the first edition, there have been numerous studies of value published that need to be recognized and incorporated in the topics discussed. A chapter on the impact of global tectonics and biological evolution on the carbonate system has been added to emphasize the effects of global earth processes and the changing nature of life on earth through Phanerozoic time on all aspec

Nota di contenuto

Chapter 1 – The vulnerability of coastal zones towards climate change and sea level rise -- Chapter 2 – Adaptation tools and strategies -- Chapter 3 – Case studies in collaborative action-research projects on climate adaptation in New Brunswick.

Sommario/riassunto

The book provides a concise and interdisciplinary outlook on the impacts of climate change on coastal areas and how coastal



communities adapt to them. The first chapter analyses how sea level rise, changing ocean conditions, or increased climate variability and the socio-environmental context of the coastal zone leads to vulnerable communities. The second chapter addresses adaptation strategies and tools, and gives some examples of their application around the world. The third chapter describes participative action research projects undertaken in New Brunswick and how this community based approach has enabled communities to increase their climate resilience.
