The Mediterranean region contains a diverse and interesting climate ranging from areas with permanent glaciers to areas of subtropical, semiarid regions. The region is potentially sensitive to climate change and its progress has environmental, social, and economic implications within and beyond the region.
Produced by the Mediterranean Climate Variability and Predictability Research Networking Project, this book reviews the evolution of the Mediterranean climate over the past two millennia with projections further into the twenty-first century as well as examining in detail various aspects of the Mediterranean regions climate including evolution, atmospheric variables, and oceanic and land elements.
Integrated with this, the book also considers the social and economic problems or vulnerabilities associated with the region. Written and reviewed by multiple researchers to ensure a high level of information presented clearly, Mediterranean Climate Variables will be an invaluable source of information for geologists, oceanographers, and anyone interested in learning more about the Mediterranean climate.

Recent international reports from the global environmental change (GEC) communities, like the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP, 2007), Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007), and Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA, 2005) paint a disturbing picture of global environments.
Not only are regional declines in biodiversity, ecological resilience and ecological services (Costanza et al., 1997) now well established, but these are also becoming increasingly conflated with accelerating climate change, demographic pressures, land use change and resource depletion. The result is an explosion of multiple stressed ecosystems and ecological services with our conventional understanding of ‘causes’ of change increasingly questioned (e.g., Lambin et al., 2001).
The GEC community is tasked with improving our understanding of human-environment interactions in order that science can inform the most appropriate public policies.
