M. Pinna est le géographe italien qui s'est le plus intéressé au climat. Lors de son départ de l'université, certains collègues italiens et étrangers ont rédigé une vingtaine d'articles sur des arguments de climatologie et de climatologie historique

Climate and weather conditions in the Slovenian lands from the time before regular and continuous meteorological measurements began are but poorly known. Investigations in began as late as the beginning of the 17th century; particularly the second
half of this century is one of the periods which is sufficiently documented in historical sources. In spite of certain limitations, by means of additional information it is possible to present satisfactorily the weather and the climate of that time

This paper reports a review of research on domestic climate extremes conducted by US physical geographers over the past 15 years. Sections cover extremes in wind, precipitation, lightning, and temperature, as well as derivative climate extremes
of the extreme's economic and human costs; lessons for assessment, policy, and management; and scale. The AA. conclude that most of the works reviewed inadequately address the human basis of vulnerability to climate extremes, and encourage physical geographers
(droughts, floods, and storm surges). Themes considered include : the spatial and temporal distribution of the climate extreme; its implications for the understanding of the physical processes that produce it; the spatial and temporal distributions
to work with colleagues from the other subfields of geography and the social sciences to develop the holistic understanding of vulnerability needed to effectively adapt to the more extreme climate projected under climate change.
The A., a physical geographer, addresses climate change and feedbacks for Eurasia over longer (tectonic forcing, intermediate (Earth's orbital relations) and shorter timeframes, emphasizing that climates change more or less continuously in response

for the lack of attention to his geographical work today.Ward’s work across a range of spatial scales from local thunderstorm events to sea breeze circulations to global climatic classification represented a ‘bridge’ between scholars in the meteorology
This paper aims : (1) to elaborate on the contributions of Ward (a charter member of the Association of American Geographers) to modern geographical climatology; and (2) to examine some of his writing beyond scientific topics as likely cause
and geography communities. His emphasis on the conceptual understanding of climate as a dynamic rather than static entity represented a paradigm shift for which he has not been credited. He was a true and early advocate for study of the relationship between
This paper builds on previous geographical and social science work at the boundaries of climate change by(re)asserting the significance of the territoriality of the national state in global climate negotiations. Using post-political consensus
as a theoretical framework and drawing upon examples from climate change negotiations like Kyoto and Copenhagen, it argues that it is too premature to fetishize the consensus of, and collectivism between national states in global climate politics. As geographers
, ‘territoriality’, both as a material and discursive device, is fundamental in, and constitutive of, how we interpret and understand climate change and the politics thereof.
One only has to examine the geographical situation of developed and less developed countries to assume that there must be a relationship between climate and economic development. This relationship has not yet been taken sufficiently
Recueil de 31 contributions, dues à 41 AA. Géographes, climatologues, glaciologues, archéologues, préhistoriens et historiens ont confronté leurs approches pour ébaucher une histoire du climat sur plusieurs millions d'années et appréhender les
effets, parfois favorables mais le plus souvent dramatiques, des variations climatiques sur les sociétés humaines. Alors qu'aujourd'hui l'action anthropique modifie radicalement l'environnement, la connaissance des climats du passé éclaire l'analyse des

climatic variation from snowline change in different geographic regions is specified.
This paper reviews methods of climatic interpretation of glacier fluctuations on time scales of 103 to 104 years. Glacier dynamics are not considered; rather, the problem is approached from the perspective of pertubations in the equilibrium-line
altitude (ELA) or snowline of a glacier. The typical assumptions for paleoclimatic interpretations of snowline variations on millennial time scales are discussed. A minimum number of climatic parameters that need to be estimated in order to quantify

This paper reviews recent research pertaining to climate variability over Southern Africa, particularly South Africa. Atmosphere-ocean interaction studies relevant to the above- and below-normal rainfall events are highlighted. Linked

L'A. souligne les différences et les similitudes entre les études du climat entreprises par les géographes et celles réalisées par les météorologues, notamment du point de vue des méthodologies.

Becoming differently modern : geographic contributions to a generative climate politics

Anthropogenic climate change is a modern problem in its historical origins and discursive framing. Modernity separates people from climate change in a number of ways. Recent research in human geography routinely combines both deconstructive impulses
to suggest how to reframe climate change and climate change response in two main ways: elaborating human and non-human continuities and differences, and identifying and harnessing vernacular capacities.

Pour contribuer efficacement aux études sur le climat urbain et la qualité de l'air, les climatologues géographes doivent, en s'appuyant sur leurs savoir-faire traditionnels, s'adapter à de nouveaux outils et de nouvelles méthodes et s'intégrer à
des équipes pluridisciplinaires. En effet, la cartographie du climat urbain ou de la pollution atmosphérique requiert des méthodes spécifiques d'interpolation spatiale, prenant en compte les relations statistiques entre paramètres atmosphériques et
