Consequences of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes

Grab attention with a clear, compelling look at how extreme weather, climate shifts and ocean changes reshape our world. Consequences of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes by John E. Hay combines rigorous science with real-world relevance to illuminate the cascading impacts of hurricanes, heatwaves, floods, droughts and sea-level rise.

Discover well-paced explanations of physical drivers and human consequences—from coastal flooding in small island states to heat stress in urban centers and shifting fisheries in the Arctic and tropics. This book bridges atmospheric science, oceanography and socio-economic analysis to show how extreme events propagate through infrastructure, agriculture, public health and economies at local, regional and global scales.

Packed with case studies, regional examples and forward-looking analysis, the narrative explains how communities, planners and policymakers can enhance resilience.
