Short description Changing Environments examines how and why environments change as a result of natural and human mediated processes and why some changes are currently becoming significant. It includes consideration of (a) the time and spatial scales of change that are relevant to our interaction with environments (b) the effects on environments that arise from human use of resources of energy, land, water and the atmosphere (c) the role of use and limitations of quantitative methods for analysing environmental changes.
