This review reflects on both the intellectual and policy implications of globalenvironmentalchange. It explores opposing perspectives on the relationship between environmental and social change. These perspectives possess an ideological component
sometimes differentiated as environmentalism and ecologism. They also relate to a theoretical discourse about the nature of modern society and the sources of change.

A multinational program to study and preserve the environmental quality of large lakes on a global basis is proposed. Large lakes are both scientifically interesting and economically valuable, and provide the basis for a global-scale limnology

. The article concludes with a discussion of the political brittleness of this dominant science-led and global-scale formulation of the climate change problem and the need of a more reflexive politics.
By retracing the history of climate modeling and of several scientific controversies, the A. unmasks the tacit social and epistemic commitments implied by its specific practices. The specific scientific framing of global climate change has

The understanding of fundamental properties of and processes in soils has both agricultural and environmental benefits. On a global basis, soil science will continue to be viewed as primarily an applied agricultural science. Soil science also plays
a key role in understanding and modeling the transport of pollutants to ground water and to remediation of polluted urban environments. The AA. provide a few examples of how soil science has contributed to solutions of environmental problems
This review of the recent scientific literature on climate change focuses on one aspect of the issue which has come to the fore over the last three years, the role of atmospheric aerosols in contemporary cimate change. The emergence
of these particulates as a significant modifier of the atmospheric and climatic environment has, at the same time, offered new opportunities for detecting human-induced climate change in the observed record and also complicated the prediction of future climate change

This paper discusses globalenvironmental problems such a climate change and biodiversity conservation, and reviews policies to address them. Two broad groups of instruments are analyzed: taxes and marketable permits. The paper concludes
with an overview of the available set of policy instruments indicating their potential role in reaching efficient and equitable international environmental agreements.

Although globalization is a term usually restricted to economics and the social sciences, there are aspects of the phenomenon that are intimately linked to the practice and purpose of the physical and environmentalsciences and exemplified through
may be seen historically in the global export of western science, including Physical Geography, that underpinned colonial resource exploitation, and which subsequently laid to the foundations for the worldwide conservation movement. Globalization
Physical Geography. At a fundamental level, Physical Geography has always sought to describe and understand the multiple subsystems of the environment and their connections with human activity : it is global and globalizing at its very roots. Globalization

If there is a hallmark of environmentalism in the mid-1990s, it must surely be the new emphasis on sustainable development to which so many disciplines are contributing and which holds so many keys to the future of both planet and people
. The A. adopts sustainable development as the primary focus of this annual review, which builds upon the earlier emphases on environmental issues and environmental decision-making.

information provides scientists with a better understanding of the ice shelf/ocean/atmosphere system allowing future monitoring to observe the effects of global climate change.
This paper presents a history of the use of spatial science techniques from basic survey equipment to satellite systems in Australian research projects based on the Amery Ice Shelf (and surrounding glaciers) since 1955. The application
of these spatial data to projects based primarily in the fields of geodesy, glaciology, climatology, and oceanography has allowed the measurement and monitoring of the physical, dynamic and environmental characteristics of this large and remote region. This new
This article aims to review critically various kinds of phenomenal records from the late 1980s, which are pertinent in the environmentalchange context. The account is restricted to the northern boreal zone and the Arctic.

Environmental determinism is resurfacing in human geography particularly when climate change is the topic of investigation. In this paper, the AA. trace this revival and link it to the dominance of Earth System Science (ESS) and the institutional
process of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the climate change research community. In particular, they want to show how findings coming out of ESS and communicated through the IPCC create a discourse of hierarchical scale
and downward causation that prescribes agency to climate. The AA. suggest that viewing scale as a social construction opens up for the analysis of climate change and its societal effects and interpretations outside the official script of the inevitability
