IGBP Newsletter 'Global Change' No 77, July 2011
Timber! Fall of Rome etched in rings?
Top funders are calling on the international research programmes to refocus efforts to deliver knowledge that supports action and adaptation to regional environmental change. The International Council for Science – IGBP’s sponsor – is challenging the four global-environmental-change programmes to better integrate social science research and provide policy-relevant knowledge in the service of global sustainability.
Articles in this issue focus on a range of topic including influence of climate on history, the International Nitrogen Initiative, and tracking groundwater depletion. The regulars include news from the IGBP and global-change communities.
