Climate change and air quality are two of the most pressing issues facing Mankind. Atmospheric Science for Environmental Scientists gives undergraduate and graduate students and professionals working in the science and policy of pollution, climate change and air quality a broad and up-to-date account of our understanding of the processes that occur in the atmosphere, how these are changing as Man’s relentless use of natural resources continues and what effects these changes are having on the Earth’s climate and the quality of the air we breath.

Written by an international team of experts, “Atmospheric Science for Environmental Scientists” gives an excellent overview of our current understanding of the state of the Earth’s atmosphere and how it is changing. It is an invaluable resource for students, teachers and professionals.
