Within the context of mitigation, this book covers prediction-prevention-preparedness for global warming/climate change as existing and progressive processes that create or abet slow developing or rapidly occurring hazards that endanger society such as sea level rise, extreme weather events, threats to food/water security, and the spread of infectious diseases. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,$x2191-5547 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aSystem safety 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aWater quality 606 $aWater$xPollution 606 $aAir$xPollution 606 $aPollution 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aSecurity Science and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31080 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aWater Quality/Water Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/212000 606 $aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35010 606 $aTerrestrial Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35030 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aSystem safety. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aWater quality. 615 0$aWater$xPollution. 615 0$aAir$xPollution. 615 0$aPollution. 615 14$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aSecurity Science and Technology. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aWater Quality/Water Pollution. 615 24$aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution. 615 24$aTerrestrial Pollution. 676 $a363.346 700 $aSiegel$b Frederic R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0508645 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254117603321 996 $aMitigation of Dangers from Natural and Anthropogenic Hazards$92509408 997 $aUNINA
