| Summary |
This book is an interdisciplinary and accessible guide to environmental physics. It allows readers to gain a more complete understanding of physical process and their interaction with ecological ones underpin important environmental issues. The book covers a wide range of topics within environmental physics, including: natural and anthropogenic canopies, including forests, urban or wavy terrains; the fundamentals of heat transfer; atmospheric flow dynamics; global carbon budget; climate change; and the relevance of biochar as a global carbon sink. Including solved exercises, numerous illustrations and tables, as well as an entire chapter focused on applications, book is of interest to researchers, students and industrial engineers alike |
