Short-term climatic change : evidence, causes, environmental consequences and strategies for action
This paper examines the evidence for short-term climatic change provided by atmospheric observations and environmental indicators over the past century and accounts for this change in terms of current (if conflicting) theories, particularly those
associated with dust veils, the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion. It also discusses the predicted impact of these changes on a wide range of environmental factors, including sea level, agriculture and human health. It concludes with an analysis

Changing climate and permafrost distribution in the soviet Arctic
A nonstationary model of heat and water transport in a stratified medium is used in conjunction with results from a climate-change model to estimate the severity of permafrost degradation. Results suggest that the area of continuous permafrost

Palaeoecological evidence for environmental change during the last 200 years. I. Biological data
This paper reviews the role of biological data for assessing ecosystem change during the last 200 years, with examples from North America and Europe where most of this research, has to date, been concentrated.

Late-glacial and Holocene glacier fluctuations and environmental change on South Georgia, Southern Ocean
This paper combines a study of glacier fluctuations and palaeoecological changes to determine the environmental history of South Georgia since the last glacial maximum. The most extensive Holocene advance of South Georgia glaciers culminated just
before 2 200 yr B.P. The Holocene temperature changes of between 0.5 and 1.0o C are comparable in scale and timing to those identified from recent analyses of Vostok ice cores from the Antarctic ice sheet.
The use of total lake-surface area as an indicator of climatic change : examples from the Lahontan Basin
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the strengths and weakness of using lake size and, in particular, lake level, as an indicator of climatic change. The lake-level record for one closed-basin system (Lake Lahontan) is examined in terms
of existing topographic and hydrologic features that have constrained its variation. The total surface areas of lakes in a basin is shown to be a more appropriate measure of change in the hydrologic balance.

Rates and mechanisms of change in hard rock coastal cliffs in Coasts : erosion and sedimentation.
Investigations have concentrated on the Jurassic Portland Limestone outcrop of the Isle of Purbeck. Three types of data are considered, including mapped changes in the nature and location of the cliffline, material strength and the rock mass
discontinuity pattern. Emphasis is thus placed on the synthesis of quantifiable rock mechanics parameters and details of change in coastline morphology. Results indicate that although cliff retreat shows no regular spatial or temporal pattern, clear trends can
