Publisher Synopsis
"This edited volume brings together 32 papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Dubrovnik, Croatia in 2011. ... The book would be relevant in the national security/ homeland security discussion because it examines a potential root cause of threats to national security. ... Ferando and Klaic, along with their fellow scientists, have provided valuable evidence that substantiates how climate change affects not only on the environment, but also our future security." (Romeo Lavarias, Natural Hazards Observer, Vol. 34 (5), 2015) Read more...
