Editors:
- Understanding the causes and effects of climate change is probably one of the most crucial scientific challenges of our time. This book provides an updated overview of the processes determining the influence of solar forcing on climate. It discusses in particular the most recent developments regarding the role of aerosols in the climate system, and the new insights that could be gained from the investigation of terrestrial climate analogues.
- Scientists from different disciplines such as solar, atmospheric, and climate physics and chemistry have gathered to provide a state-of-the art collection of most recent findings and views as to solar-terrestrial relationships. These do provide a worthy inspiration source and a solid scientific basis for future developments and research.
- For the first time, the role played by natural and anthropogenic aerosols in the Earth climate system is reviewed in the context of solar-terrestrial relationships, and their potential role in offsetting global warming is discussed.
