Full Description

Hydroclimatic Extremes in the Middle East and North Africa: Assessment, Attribution and Socioeconomic Impacts focuses on assessing the current situation of hydroclimatic extremes in the MENA region, with particular emphasis on dry and wet extreme events. The results of the rapidly changing atmospheric and oceanic situations of these extremes is addressed, presenting examples for the environmental, socioeconomic and cultural impacts of these events in the region and evaluating the current ability to monitor and adapt to such events. In addition, the book explores the potential use of advanced geospatial techniques in improving current understanding of these extreme events.The book utilizes a multidisciplinary approach with various state-of-the-art methods, approaches, and analytical techniques in environmental, meteorological, and hydrological sciences, providing case studies from the Middle East and North Africa region. It will be a valuable source of information for climatologists, meteorologists, hydrologists, agronomists, geographers, and water resource scientists.
