This handbook brings together in a single reference work a rich blend of information about the various types of cosmic threats that are posed to human civilization by asteroids, comets, bolides, meteors, solar flares and coronal mass ejections, cosmic radiation and other types of threats that are only recently beginning to be understood and studied, such as investigation of the ?cracks? in the protective shield provided by the Van Allen belts and the geomagnetosphere, of matter-antimatter collisions, orbital debris and radiological or biological contamination. Some areas that are addressed involve areas about which there is a good deal of information that has been collected for many decades by multiple space missions run by many different space agencies, observatories and scientific researchers. Other areas involving research and studies that have only recently gotten underway are discussed by some of the world?s foremost experts in each of these areas, who provide up-to-date and scientifically verifiable information. Although much of the work in these various areas have been conducted by space agencies, an expanding range of work is also being carried out by observatories, by universities and other research centers, and even by private foundations and professional organizations. The purpose of this work is thus several-fold: to include the latest information and most systematic research from around the world in a single reference work; to note where there are significant gaps in knowledge where new research, spacecraft, observatories, or other initiatives are needed to fill in critical missing information; and to give the best possible information about preventative actions that might be taken against cosmic threats and identify various alternative strategies that are now under way or planned to cope with these various threats. 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aPaleontology  606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aPaleontology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G39000 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aPaleontology . 615 14$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aPaleontology. 676 $a629.1 702 $aAllahdadi$b Firooz$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPelton$b Joseph N$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337606503321 996 $aHandbook of Cosmic Hazards and Planetary Defense$91465932 997 $aUNINA
