SCENARIOS OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENCE AND TRANSFORMATION IN TIMES OF CLIMATE CHANGE

 Effects and Lessons from the COVID-19

WHY THIS BOOK?

Like no other time in history, we have achieved scientific knowledge, which, combined with our ingenuity and persistence, has sustained the acceleration of the human enterprise. We have also put our survival in jeopardy, broadening inequality, hardening geopolitical divides, and extreme spiritual dogmas. The COVID-19 pandemic has evidenced how the human enterprise has deteriorated the environment and the individual-to-public health.

We invite authors to our collective contributions to better understand how the Earth System, its components and spatiotemporal scales, has responded to local-to-global lockdowns.

Scientific and engineering communications (7000-word limit, excluding references) are welcome on the following themes:

• Environmental Functionality and Transformation
• Urban and Agricultural Water Resources and Socioenvironmental Change
• Marine Systems
• Alterations of Natural Biogeochemical States
• Environmental Justice and Responsibility
• Climate Change Resilience and Pandemic Episodes.
