Introduction to aerosol modelling : from theory to code / Edited by David Topping, Michael Bane
Hoboken, NJ : John Wiley & Sons, 2022
xiii, 349 p. ; 25 cm.
"Aerosol science is one that straddles many disciplines. There is a natural tendency for the aerosol scientist to therefore work at the interface of the traditional academic subjects of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and computing. The impacts that aerosol particles have on the climate, air-quality and thus human health, are linked to their evolving chemical and physical characteristics. Likewise, the chemical and physical characteristic of aerosol particles reflect their sources and subsequent processes they have been subject to. Computational models are not only essential for constructing evidence based understanding of important aerosol processes, but also to predict change and potential impact. Seminal publications provide an extensive overview on the history and basis of core theoretical frameworks that aerosol models are based on. However there is little on how we can translate such theory into code. Whilst we focus on atmospheric aerosol in this book, the theory and tools developed are based on core aerosol physics that translate across multiple disciplines. Likewise, demonstrating a programming solution to common numerical operations is valuable to a large number of scientific disciplines. You may be reading this book as an undergraduate, postgraduate, seasoned researcher in the private/public sector or as someone who wishes to better understand the pathways to aerosol model development. Wherever you position yourself, it is hoped that the tools you will learn through this book will provide you with the basis to develop your own platforms and to ensure the next generation of aerosol modelers are equipped with foundational skills to address future challenges in aerosol science.

Planet aqua : brethinking our home in the universe / Jeremy Rifkin
Hoboken : Polity, 2024
ix, 308 p. ; 24 cm.
"What would happen if we were to awaken one day and suddenly realize that the world we live in appeared eerily alien, as if we'd been teleported to some other distant world? That frightening prospect is now. Our planetary hydrosphere, which animates all of life on Earth, is rebelling in the wake of a global warming climate, spurring biblical spring floods, devastating summer droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires and powerful autumn hurricanes and typhoons, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and society. For too long we have misjudged the very nature of our existence and to what we owe our lifeline. We have come to believe that we live on a land planet when the reality is that we live on a water planet, and now the Earth's hydrosphere is rewilding in the throes of a changing climate, taking our species and our fellow creatures into a mass extinction event as it searches for a new equilibrium. Jeremy Rifkin calls on us to rethink our place in the universe and realize that we live on Planet Aqua. He takes us on a new journey into the future where we will need to reassess every aspect of the way we live - how we engage nature, govern society, conceptualize economic life, educate our children, and even orient ourselves in time and space. The next stage in the human journey is to rebrand our home Planet Aqua and learn how to readapt to the waters of life."
